The limited-edition release of the Ray Harryhausen classic is now on the way from Twilight Time.

As previously reported, Twilight Time has set 'Mysterious Island' for Blu-ray on November 8, and now discs are being shipped to customers.

The region-free Blu-ray is limited to 3000 copies and features 1080p video, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (plus original mono) soundtracks, and supplements include: 8-Page Booklet, Isolated Score Track (2.0 Stereo), Original Theatrical Trailer, and Trailer TV Spot #1.

The Blu-ray is only available here from Screen Archives Entertainment for $34.95.
