Lions Gate has announced the fifth and final volume of the 52-episode Speed Racer anime series will be in stores on October 31st with an SRP of $19.98.  Volume 5 includes the final eight episodes of the series and comes (for a limited time) with a collectible metal miniature license plate inscribed 'Go Speed Racer Go!' 

 

Although there has been an increasing wave of rumors regarding a new live-action Hollywood  Speed Racer movie involving the Wachowski brothers and Vince Vaughn (as Racer X), even without a definitive movie announcement, the property has been gaining momentum over the past year as Art Asylum has acquired the toy license (see 'Art Asylum Nabs Speed Racer License') and Seven Seas announced a revival of the Speed Racer comic book series (see 'Seven Seas Launching Speed Racer Comic').
