Discotek Media last brought out Robot Carnival on home video with a great collector’s edition back in 2018 and they’ve spent their time since working on various streaming platforms for it to show it off. Back in August, the distributor revealed that they were planning a new 4K release and it sounds like there might be some sort of upgrade path included in it as well. We’re still waiting to hear on that but the solicitation has come in for the release with a planned December 28th, 2021 debut priced at $34.95.
