    RED BARON was previously released on Blu-ray in 2017 by Humming (Bird). The series was also released on DVD in North America back in 2008 by BCI/Eclipse and is still available in a budget set from Mill Creek. There were three entries in the “Baron Series,” MACH BARON (1974) and GANBARON (1977), but they are narratively unrelated. I’m sure the upcoming TC/Bestfield release will be an upgrade from the previous Blu-ray issue of RED BARON.

    Addendum: My bad. There was an even *earlier* Blu-ray release of RED BARON, making this upcoming TC Entertainment set the THIRD time the series has been released on Blu-ray. The earliest Blu-ray set was issued in 2015 by Victor Entertainment. You can search for these earlier releases on Amazon Japan. My apologies.
