    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    That only annoys me if it's unskipable (or can't be FF through).

    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    My order arrived today and I'm pleased to say it's the deluxe, expanded edition of "Ardennes Fury" - AKA Sgt. Bilko - The Complete Series! THANK YOU SHOESHINEBOY! While I was very pleased with a similar price last year on a blind buy of The Naked City, *this* one is truly a deal for me! It's...

    You mention of the disc colors confused me so I had to take a look. I was thinking you were talking about the color of the data side of the discs (and was about to be somewhat concerned) but was wrong. You're referring to the colors used on the label side. :) I *do* like the disc label...

    ^OK... you're not *too* far from me so why is mine still in Little Rock?

    Nope... we're that upstart colony - we're being punished! :D

    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    I just checked my amazon.ca order to find it, too, has shipped! The estimated delivery date is the 15th and the details indicates it is Bilko. According to UPS the package weight is 1.8lb. That's far too heavy for even a well packaged copy of "Ardennes Fury" so I'm cautiously optimistic...

    I don't know how familiar with "Asylum" films you are. Let's just say they're "renowned" for exploiting current large studio films by making a knock-off of sorts with a very similar sounding name, typically of rather low quality, and frequently attempting to beat the big film to the theater to...

    Thanks for the info Ron! I'd really hoped they'd offer free expedited shipping since I asked about the status but you can't win 'em all, eh? :) I'd planned to keep my order open until they either shipped or cancelled and figure it will eventually ship. I don't mind waiting a bit longer as I...

    I, too, contacted Amazon.ca to ask "Where's my set? The shipping date shown on my account has passed and it's still not processing." I normally don't do that, especially if there's a price mistake, but figured since several others have, and got free shipping for their trouble, I'd give it a...

    Same here - identical estimated delivery date. I just checked their site and the Bilko set is out of stock and I'm sure is the cause for the later delivery date. Hmmm.... wonder why? Welcome BatKink! That's a *great* trifecta there... :D

    ^Since I didn't do expedited shipping I'm expecting a shipping notice sometime in the next couple of days. Amazon frequently doesn't ship until release day if you do "slow boat from China" type shipping. It's also listed as a "import" which may also slow things down a bit.

    It's been reported on another forum people are also receiving cancellation notices from Family Video.

    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    ^Blowitoutahere fixed their price. AFAIK the current lowest price is from Family Video for $13.99 w/$1.99 shipping for a $15.98 total. The issue with them is a $19.93 MSRP and the UPC, 883476145617, is one that's been used on several sites for *both* the Bilko set and a title called "Ardennes...

    For me, the BB price is $19.33 which includes tax and shipping. As that's only ~$4 less than what I'm currently scheduled to pay to Amazon.ca ($23.12 US) I'm leaning towards leaving the Amazon order in place but still place one at BB. I have a bit more faith the Amazon order will actually ship...

    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    It must have been re-run some following the original airings as I know I saw the show. I grew up not far from Memphis and *do* recall seeing episodes when I was a kid but was 4 when the series ended so I'm thinking some, if not all, of what I saw was re-runs. I absolutely recall when Top Cat...

    Anyone who was on-the-fence with a purchase at the bargain basement price is now out of luck. Amazon.ca has raised the price to the expected $90.99 cdn.

    The Phil Silvers Show - The Complete Series - 11/4/14

    There was no sarcasm intended! I'm sorry if it came off that way as I agree with you - this *is* another "great deal alerts of all time!". I also didn't take your comments about Naked City negatively. I thought you were mistaking me with someone else and was more concerned that I'd actually...

    I didn't think I made such a absolute statement so I ran through the Naked City thread. Here's what I said: Which was talking about the WM price - that was followed a bit later by: Amazon *didn't* do a "back charge" like I expected and honored the price. But I didn't say "never". In fact, that...

    FWIW, camelcamelcamel shows the UPC for this release (826663154313) to be identical to the US release. The ASIN also matches on both sites as well as other description inaccuracies (i.e. both show it to be a "widescreen" release in the "Format" section but list the aspect ratio correctly)...

    ^Thanks shoeshineboy! Even with the rather stiff $9.98 cdn international shipping it still comes out to $23.12 US ($25.17 cdn) at the current exchange rate. The description indicates it's a DVD release in spite of [Blu-Ray] being at the end of the item title. It's the 20 disc set and the box...
