It always seemed like A&E was known for higher then normal complete series sets. Series sets going for over $200 and season sets going for over $50. They are now repackaging the following series for release in October and November:
- Homicide
- Farscape
- Dr. Quinn
Each listed for $150 and each currently priced on DD @ $93, Quite possibly they could go for as low as $75 a piece if DD has their traditional Fall sale.
Now I know these are basically retreads, but they have all the same extras with a simpler case design (which I prefer anyway). You find a lot of complete series sets that go on Amazon's DOD but usually they seem to be one's not only originally overpriced but also in very questionable case design that don't protect disks from damage. Not to forget, you have to hit the sales date.
I wonder if this might be a new trend. Maybe they figure they made all they were going to from the most loyal of fans and are now just trying to see what interest they get from those that remained on the fence. This kind of pricing is very tempting to me. I can see picking up at least two of the above and maybe all three.
