I never really got into the WARLOCK series, but I did watch the first two films mutliple times throughout my childhood and they do provide some decent entertainment. WARLOCK III is sort of getting the short end of the stick on this one, but I'm not sure anyone will be too bothered.
The Warlock Collection, the 11th release in the overall Vestron Video Collector's Series, has a street date of July 25th. If you'd like to snag a copy for yourself, the Blu-ray set can be pre-ordered on Amazon.
