With the economy going down ever future will FOX ever release a bare bones edition of the very expensive "Land of the Giants" TV series? I've been holding off on this one and likely to pass altogether now - unless a bare bones edition is issued in smaller and easier to store packaging.

they can even use this tag:
BRING HOME THE LITTLE PEOPLE - FOR A LITTLE PRICE!

You realize you just missed getting it from Amazon for $86 (the complete set) this past 2/12 as the deal of the day. I'm not sure how much cheaper it will ever get.

A complete set like that with all those extras--I bought it for $99 about a year ago and felt like I got my money's worth.

Too bad! that's a great price (Even with the large packaging) How often does it go on sale at Amazon?

I bought mine during a Sept 2007 "Deal Of The Day".

You can sign up at amazon.com to be notified daily by e-mail of their "Deal Of The Day" sale.

Given that the whole run fits in four slipcases, I can't help but imagine Fox will repackage it someday and cut the price in half.

That's was my thinking, but I thought it would come to retail a lot sooner

Re: "Land of the Giants" recession edition

I'm betting it will happen following the final releases of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. Once those are out of the way, I'd start to look for the repackaging of all of the Irwin Allen series in one way or another.

I wouldn't be surprised if LOST IN SPACE was all re-packaged in a mega-full-series set, using the existing crappy discs, just to get rid of them. Then down the road, look for that series to be remastered, possibly being the first to go blue-ray.

I also got my LAND OF THE GIANTS set during Amazon's $99 sale. Well-worth it!

I can see LOST IN SPACE going blu-ray with new transfers.
