Looks like Warner Archive is done with the "Looney Tunes Collector's Choice" line, but they are starting a new line that is pretty much the same thing. "Looney Tunes: Collector's Vault Vol. 1" is a 2-disc Blu-ray set with 25 toons new to disc and 25 new to HD. Mine will be here on Wed.

'Looks like a fine set; great characters, classically
voiced, still hysterically funny no matter one's age.

This Wiki page gives a better description of the set, plus all of the titles.

The first two volumes of the long out of print "Looney Tunes Platinum Collection" (Blu-ray version) are available, again. Around $27 ea. A third, or less, of what the originals have been going for. No slipcase, or booklet, this time. Vol. 3 has been available cheap, all along. I missed out, the first time. (They went OOP, fast!) Got mine ordered. My collection will be complete, to date.  Although there are 300+ titles not available on disc.

I wish they would not group these by subject, but issue them ALL in chronological order.

If they had started in 1930, they wouldn't have sold, and the line would have been dropped. Would you have bought the "Bosko" and "Buddy" cartoons, hoping the good stuff would come in a few years? Anyway, they had been doing it like this since the VHS and LD days.

Are there duplicates from the Platinum sets on the Collector's Choice or Vault sets?

Only if it was an upgrade.

Start with this Golden Collection V.1 set to see all of the LT & MM released on DVD and BD. Go to the bottom of the page to get links to all of the other sets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes_Golden_Collection:_Volume_1

Of the last 3 categories, you only need these for a (so far) complete collection:
Porky Pig 101 (DVD)
Looney Tunes Mouse Chronicles: The Chuck Jones Collection (BD)
Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection (BD)

I have the Golden Collection DVDs.  I guess I'll get the Platinum BDs and the Bugs 80th.  Is Platinum Vol 3 available in a standard Blu case?

The 3 Platinum sets are mostly repeats from the Golden discs (but BD), with a few critical (to me) exceptions, like "Birdy and the Beast" and "Feline Frame-Up".

Is Platinum Vol 3 available in a standard Blu case?

The original pressing w/ slipcase and booklet is still available, last I looked. Cheap, too.

Some of the ones I see show images of a digibook and slipcase for the same product.  Can you link to one of the ones with the slipcase?  I don't care for digibooks.

[Mike Scott]

Can you link to one of the ones with the slipcase?

Don't know of any digibook version. Here's what I have. Regular plastic case with a slipcase. Pic 2 shows the plastic case.

Was doing some research on how many LT/MM cartoons have yet to be released on DVD/BD. The number I got was 192 (out of 1,000). I didn't count the ones that have only been released on DVD/BD as an extra on a feature film disc. Most of those are '30s cartoons, anyway (not my favorite era for LT/MM). The 1930s unreleased toons number 110.

I just picked up the 3 Platinum Blus.  Now I wish they would re-issue the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection.

Oh, no! Is it OOP?
