Does anybody know when any of these films are being released on DVD? I am chomping at the bit to get my hands on as many of these flix as possible!!

Well, if you're set up with to watch Region 2 PAL(UK) encoded stuff, can read Chinese subtitles, or nihongo ga wakarimasu, hkflix.com has a pile of 'em. Apparently Videomatica has some as well, which should be Region 1 NTSC (if you just search "Lone Wolf" on this one, you'll also get a Chuck Norris movie; I leave it to your own impulses do declare this good or bad...).

{AN EDIT: Just had a closer look at hkflix-- Some of the ones there for the Korean market have English subtitles and NTSC encoding}

the March issue of Diamond Previews catalog list the Baby Cart series on DVD for release (I think) in May, probably earlier for other retail sources.
Abayo...

Videomatica (above) has the first in the series, but of course you should be buying it from the local non-chain store run by a guy who does it mainly because he likes the stuff, like this guy in Regina

Yo' ; I actually found "Babycart at the River Styx" at a movie store here today!!! I have the "bastardized" american version "Shogun Assassin" on video and to actually get the official japanese version is so cool!!! And in Widescreen on DVD!!! Way COOL!!!! I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of them!!! I really enjoyed this flick!! As you can see,my avatar is Yagi of the "Lone goat and Kid". Sakai-sensei's omage to Lone Wolf. I really dig this premiss and have several of the comics of Lone Wolf and Cub. As a result of finding this flick today, I've decided to write a "Lone Goat and Kid" solo adventure. I want to explore these characters further and see where they take me. Just for the sheer fun of it! Well... I'll sign off for now. Abayo!!!!
