Not exactly a steal at $140, is it?
I've been wanting this program for a long time but it's a No Sale unless and until the price comes down to earth.

Considering how much work it probably took to come up with remastered prints for this DVD set, and the time this show's been off of the cultural radar, plus the fact that the complete series is being offered for sale, I'd say that the price is reasonable, and that you are lucky to be getting it on DVD.

I cannot address Sky King, but there's no analogy between It Takes a Thief and Law and Order.
It Takes a Thief lasted 65 episodes over three seasons 1968-1970.
Law and Order lasted 456 episodes across 11 seasons 1990-2010.
That means Law and Order will fill more discs, need a bigger box, and cost more money.

Law and Order was a fine program I watched once in a while, but I have no interest in owning it.

Most TV programs are priced about $30 per season, which is not unreasonable.

At $140 or $180, It Takes a Thief is over-priced and outside the range of most consumers.
When the price comes down, and it will eventually, it will sell more units.

I have not posted anything in awhile to any of the threads due to it being summer. I have pre-order this show as i love Robert Wagner acting and i hope this means that more hart to hart can come out. I never seen this series before so it will be great watching it for the first time.

I think people worried about the cost of this set should relax. Both the Abbott & Costello show set and the Ellery Queen set from E1 came out priced around $60 and were selling around $20 last Christmas. I bet that you see this show at least 50% off by the end of the year.

My ideal price point would be in the $60-$70 range which is the "just order it" point. Like Gary, I feel this will go at least as low as $100 sometime during the 2011 Christmas season.
