Well unfortunately $$$-wise, I preordered this set back when it was announced thinking there would be some kind of good price drop, which never happened. But since I ended up spending $300 on this set, I guess I really couldn't be happier with the end-result. On my 50-inch DLP, the transfers...

My local Best Buy had Manchurian Candidate in Blu for $9.99, so I definitely picked it up. (Didn't think that one was coming till May, but I'm not complaining). However they didn't have any of the four titles pictured in today's circular, so go figure.

You're right, Travis. I'll probably end up watching them anyway. I am anxious to get to ep 6 and see what the hubbub is about with that one.

My blu-ray set arrived from deepdiscount the other day, and I was able to find time to sit down and watch the first episode last night. It was okay. But all I've heard (and how you detail in your review) is how this show kicks into another gear with the sixth episode. Question: Would you...

I think there are pros and cons to satellite radio, but there’s pretty much pros and cons for any entertainment media. (I’m sure someone has a pro about Betamax and eight-track tapes.) I think its most serious problems are the increased and fluctuating rates (I wish I could swing one of those...

The TARZAN inclusion really caught my eye also. That series is part of my holy trinity of 1970s Saturday morning cartoons (with HONG KONG PHOOEY and CHALLENGE OF THE SUPER FRIENDS). Maybe sales of this set will dictate an eventual season release? I sure hope so. (Although its been ages since...

I received a postcard in the mail yesterday from Deep Discount with the promo code DD1108. It works, but, dang! Hellboy 2 on blu was already "out of stock" at 8:00 am EST this morning.

According to a thread in the dvdtalk forum, someone mentioned that these lunchboxes will be appearing in this Sunday's BB sales flyer. Still no details or photos of what's inside them or how they're packaged. The curious thing is that the tin lunchbox sets are priced somewhat cheaper on BB's Web...

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike! I never thought about the Amaray cases. I spent a whole ten minutes trying to figure it out and all I could come up with was that Sony was doing a "Great Pumpkin" number and putting a rock inside each lunchbox. I think BB was ready to call the cops.

I noticed in BB this morning that they had First Season sets of select Sony series (Fantasy Island, Partridge Family, Facts of Life, etc.) in exclusive tin lunchbox collectible packaging for $19.99. The lunchboxes look very nice (as does the price--I've been meaning to get Fantasy Island S1 for...

Oy! That's a bummer if one really wants the Krusty head packaging since, in my experiences, the back sheet always seems to fall off the back of the last several set boxes a few seconds after taking off the shrink wrap. I just went ahead and bought it at Target last night. With my luck, I'm sure...

I have to give Universal Studios some applause for making the bonus movies available for people who've already bought the season sets (even though I eventually decided to wait for this complete series set). Now if only some studios *cough*Paramount*cough* would take a hint. I really love this...

It comes with a perforated postcard that you fill out (name/address), detach and mail with dvd (as BrettB just posted above). It looks like it's a pretty tight fight for a dvd with the case. Be sure to read the fine print: It advises you to photocopy ALL materials submitted for your records. If...

Thanks! I'll definitely try that at lunch. I've been spending so much time online ordering recently that I'd forgotten some of the b&m hassles.

Just went to BB. Sleeping Beauty Buy-Back is a postage-paid envelope. However, the local BB here didn't have them in public view. I had to ask the checkout person about the buy-back program and they were clueless. They had to have a manager go get an envelope from the back. Also has anyone...

Re: Animaniacs. I remember a question or two asked WHV "why" there wouldn't be a Vol. 4, but they deflected them the stock answer of "Vol. 4 not being released anytime soon" (or something like that). I'd still love to know why the fourth volume isn't coming anytime soon (if ever). Costs issues...

I did three different codes for three different shipments last November, so I don't think that would be a problem.

Hmmm. July 23 is a Wednesday. I hope he meant to say July 22 (which would be the traditional Tuesday release day).

I could've sworn I read on a Web site last month that Edgar Wright posted similar information about a U.S. release on his Web site last month. Hadn't heard summer. Will keep fingers crossed. I rented what must've been a bootleg copy of Series 1 (six episodes on one disc) at a local video store...

Shame about the "Judas Contract." If Warner Bros. is scared that nobody knows who the Teen Titans are (preposterous given that the anime-influenced series has appeared on the Cartoon Network), then I guess I’ll never see a Starman or "Golden Age" direct-to-dvd release.

I enjoyed New Frontier quite a lot. In fact, I think it’s the most stylized and realized of any of the previous Timm-produced films (including IMHO Phantasm). Sure I missed the Wonder Woman-Superman-political machinations, Phantom Stranger’s dinner on the moon, and the Suicide Squad, but hey, it...

I noticed the Amazon listing today too. I went to the local Best Buy when it opened today, and while there was a slot on the shelf advertising "ITSOTM", there were no copies. But our Best Buy is pretty lax when it comes go putting titles out on sale at opening time. I thought I'd try again after...

Nor the early 2000s Silver Surfer animated series (which would've seemed a perfect tie-in to last summer's FF/SS movie).

I don't know if this belongs in this forum or the "Bargains" forum, but Target is selling the "I Love Lucy" complete series set for $109.99 this week. I was in the store at lunch and saw it. I decided to take the plunge and buy it. (I've been wanting this bonus disc for a while). This price is...

I checked my Andy Griffith Show dvds with the Scanavo cases (as far as I can tell, Seasons 3-8 out of the entire eight volumes) and (knock on wood), they appear fine. However, I checked S1 of Image's Dick Van Dyke Show, and all five discs had the oily/waxy stains on the playback side mentioned...

As far as movies, I always have to watch Die Hard, Miracle on 34th Street (BW version), and Mickey's Christmas Carol (from the WDT: Mickey Mouse in Color, Vol. 2). Also, "The Race" from Seinfeld S6. (My fave ep ever and props to actually not replacing the "Superman" theme music on the dvd)...

I agree with Brian: Paul Lynde and Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew were two of the biggest surprises for me. McHale's Navy sort of came out of left field too. Biggest disappointment: LITB S3.

I wonder if maybe there's a chance they'll release one of the shorts to theaters, similar to how they released "Flight of the Osiris" from the Animatrix a few months before Reloaded opened? But with the crossed fingers promise of this project and NEW FRONTIER, this could be a great year for DC...

S1 and S2 each had an episode with audio commentary from Kevin James and producer Michael Weithorn (sp.?) I believe.

I got my copy from Amazon a couple of days after it had been relesed (the 4th or the 5th). I finally sat down to watch it last night. The picture quality isn't the greatest (but pretty much on par with other DVDs of 1970s videotape programs). An absolutely bizarre program--especially the skit...
