Lost in Space - New Information Appears to be Leaked About the Blu-ray Release!

Two weeks ago we passed along the news that Lost In Space was in-the-works for high-def Blu-ray Disc, with the entire series (three seasons) being planned and a tentative release timeframe of September, 2015...this autumn! Now a new Facebook post by Lex Kennedy of the "Lost in Space TV Series Remastered Petition" account has said the following about this release:
"...the remastered LOST IN SPACE Blu-Ray Collection is a done deal. The entire series has been beautifully remastered from the original 35mm film elements. All scenes are there that were snipped in the last package made from the one inch master tapes in the late 1980s. Even Penny's scream at the mummy from the original pilot, "No Place to Hide," has been added back in to "There Were Giants in the Earth/The Hungry Sea." Both versions, the 45 minute one and the 52 minute one of "No Place to Hide" are included, as well as the 1973 cartoon that was the season premiere of THE ABC SATURDAY SUPERSTAR MOVIE. The series is bring presented in its original broadcast aspect ratio of 4:3, no CGI special effects have been added, and the first season has not been altered from the original black and white. Downloadable 16:9 versions will be available. Many extras and commentaries are being added even as we speak, so let's rejoice that this year we will finally have what we have all been dreaming of for decades. Thank you Kevin Burns, Space Productions, and Synthesis Entertainment for your devotion and everything you have done for all of us serious fans. LOST IN SPACE lives!!!"
In response to a reader question, "Any idea on release date or what type of box set this will look like?," the reply was, "This year is all we know and possibly a box set in the shape of the Robot." Another person, Mike Briggs, made the following comment as well, which brought a response from Lex and the other folks at the Facebook account:
"Also, the LIS Forever 'sketch' from 1998 will be added as a 'stand alone piece', I believe and the Season 3 bumpers will be included and all of the season three episode previews will be in their rightful place. Also added will be some behind the scenes footage of the making of the special effects for the series."
"Yes, Mike the series is being presented in the correct form without edits. I am particularly looking forward to the third season episodes with the bumper before the scenes from next week with Dick Tufeld saying, 'Stay tuned for some exciting scenes from next week's show!' 'Lost in Space Forever' is being included and yes, the skit is also being presented as a stand alone item as it was shot on 35mm film. The cartoon is a Fox property."
