Best Buy here in south Denver had at least 10 or more copies on the shelf; the hefty price will probably keep them on the shelves a while, until someone realizes they need to take them off...
No luck at three local Best Buy stores, Zen. I placed an order via a Half.com seller for $72. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Amazon sent me an email last week cancelling my pre-order with them.
Scott, I'll check back at my local BB and see if they have any more. If they do, I'll pick one up for you. Then if the Half.com thing falls through, you can have it for cost plus shipping. If you get the copy from Half.com then I will just return it for a refund. I'll check when I get off work and see if they still have it. I have a friend that works there (that snagged the copies for me yesterday), but he is out of town today, unfortunately. Anyways, I'll check it out. Good luck with the half.com thing though!
As per my previous post, I had ordered from a vendor at half.com...mine just arrived in today's mail! And, I got it for less than list price (including S&H).
There is obviously a lot of copies of LFN out there judging from the number of sets for sale on ebay. Also, I feel sorry for the guy who bought the first set for sale there for $610.00. The price is dropping like a rock - I just bought a copy for $125.00, and I know that if I had waited, I could have done much better, but I just love the show too much.
Hmm..is eighty copies of something really alot when considering Ebay's global size? I figured there was a heck of alot more nikita fans out there, yet it bottoming out so bad on there it seems they dont even want pay what BB charges for it! Perhaps they are waiting on word what really happened with this whole ordeal.
My order on Half.com fell through. According to the order info, the seller supposedly rejected my credit card, which is bullsh*t, since it is a perfectly valid card. The dealer probably decided he could get more than $72 for the item and conveniently rejected the card.
The cheapest price there now is $95. I'm not paying that much for this set. I'll just wait until it finally gets an official release.
My order from CD Universe showed up today. It arrived in a large padded envelope , and I was concerned that the contents may have incurred damage during transit (my past experiences with padded envelopes haven't been positive). I was surprised that it arrived in excellent condition (save a very small ding in one corner). I can't wait to check the discs when I get back from my vacation.
Contrary to Gregg's post, I am neither a Director, nor was I involved with Season 2 of Nikita.
OTOH, he was quite right about my coming to his house. We arrived (my wife and I) and had a famously good time, Maine-style. A long way to carry my 53" Sony on my back so Gregg could calibrate it. Next time, I'll have him come to me.
For the record, I'm a Writer/Producer and was involved with LFN on the 3rd and 4th seasons.
So instead of signing Gregg's LFN discs, I offered to break his arm and sign his cast. He declined.
That said, it's only a shame we don't get part of those premium prices some of you seem willing to pay. Good luck in your DVD hunting.
Interesting to note that a LarryH posted above. Must've lost his hyphen.
My attempt at getting this title through CD Universe doesn't look promising. It's out of stock, and the vendor indicates via an email that they are having trouble getting more from their supplier (big surprise). Oh, well, it was worth a shot.
I'm a new member to the forum although I sometimes read it. As a big fan of LFN I have Season 1 on my shelves and ordered Season 2 when it became available for ordering. I was lucky to receive my copy in the mail last week. It was sent to me on July 12th., one day before they canceled/postponed Season 2. However, I received an email kindly requesting to send back the copy because there should be a defect. Sure I didn't do that. So far - I've seen all but the final episode - no problem whatsoever. Probably I am one of the very few people in my country to actually owe a copy of LFN Season 2. I do hope that (Season 2 and) the other seasons will be released in the (not to far) future. Can't wait...
