Did anyone get a copy of Legend Films' "The Pirates of Our Gang" DVD? It includes a copy of Buried Treasure with the original opening title and intertitles, but just no crew credits. It's nearly 20 minutes, but I didn't compare this print to the others we have yet, so I'm not sure how complete this print alone is.

I was wondering about that. I remember reading the product description for this DVD on Amazon, but for some reason didn't think the "Buried Treasure" listed there was the real "Buried Treasure".
One availabe that come to mind is the Mischief Makers episode (which was released by Video Classics, contains only two intertitles, at least one of which isn't original, and is missing certain scenes like Johnny Downs' introduction and the final gag in which the kids' parents show up on the island).
Another print that comes to mind is the nearly complete print from the Our Gang CD-ROM, but I'm not sure how complete this print actually is. According to theluckycorner.com, it too is missing the final gag.

Does it have the ending with Farina's mother jumping into the ocean? |

I ordered the disc yesterday. How is the film quality? Did they give it a soundtrack? |

I'd say the film quality is excellent. They did give it a soundtrack, but it's the mostly the same soundtrack GoodTimes Home Video used for their silents years ago. So it's hard to tolerate.
I plan to get out my two other versions later today to see how complete this may be.

I believe I already have this same version from an old VHS tape (thanks Kel) and it is complete, minus the credits.

Interesting. Hopefully it is that same version since it's complete.

Got the disc. It IS the same version and other than most of the opening credits, the film is complete and a pretty nice transfer too.

Just to clarify, the Rom-Man version is missing the ending gag and chops off about a minute and a half at the end. And, compared to antifrodis's version, which I'm assuming is the Legend Films version combined with another source, the Rom-Man version has terrible picture quality.
