Hello All:
Longtime lurker here...reading this post made me think about the costs of colorizing MOE 1 and ways to raise the money. Somehow I'd think that fans might be willing and able to contribute to the colorzation, seeing that we're coming up on the 50th anniversary and it would be an opportunity to have this story fully colorized for the first time since the late 70's.
Of course I don't know the actual costs, so I am using a simplistic example, but basically, if colorizing episode 1 costs $100,000 and we could get 1,000 fans to contribute $100 to it we'd at least have the dollars. I know I personally would contribute to the project like that.
Again, I'm being overly simplistic, and I am sure there are legalities I am not thinking of, but theoretically would something like this be possible? I'm looking for those in the know to weigh in on this.
Fundraising websites like Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com) could potentially be used to raise the funds...I am curious thati f funds could be raised and were offered to support such a project, would they (or could they) be accepted?

Be careful how you word things guys. But the point still stands - just because someone says it should be in colour on the DVD release, it doesn't neccesarily mean it will be - they may not have the budget. It's so frustrating that the potential for a high-quality recolourisation is possible, but out of reach because of cost... but let's keep hoping.
