Aussies: Is there going to be a Specials Box Set?

[Demonland]

Gday Aussies. Is there any word on a Box Set release of the Specials? All of them have now be released separately but I was wondering whether there are plans for a Box Set release like they have done in the UK and US.

I have checked all the online dvd retailers and haven't found anything.

Have seen nothing formally, but I'd say it's a given. They probably are holding off so they can sell more copies of the individual releases (double dipping capitalist swine that they are). Any announcement now would inevitably hurt those sales.

Which is odd since North America and the UK saw the individual stories released on the same day as the box set (with the same extra features, even). This allowed people to pick and choose the stories they wanted to buy. Here in Canada it's actually more common to see the individual stories than the box set.

One source to keep an eye on is the Doctor Who News Pages' product listings, as they tend to keep an eye out for Region 4 issues:

Slightly off topic, but it's interesting that they still have the Dalek War boxset listed as 17 March, as I picked mine up in Feb.

ETA - I think they must have swapped it with the Peladon Tales boxset as this came out in March. Still, it is odd to see a date like the 17th listed, as almost all Who releases here are on the first Thursday of the month - and in the rare case where they haven't been it's been due to some delay.
