I own the individual season sets of The Adventures of Robin Hood. As Ray stated the first season looks to be PD quality prints. Not really bad and very watchable but they could be better. Image improves with season 2 and I've not yet watched seasons 3 & 4. As with many MC sets there are compression artifacts due to the number of episodes per disc but for the cost I can live with it. It's far less expensive to purchase the complete set over the individual seasons. Right now it's $18.15 shipped (w/prime) from Amazon and Deep Discount is selling it via their marketplace account for $9.40 + $3.99 shipping or $10.01 +$1.99 shipping from them directly. Sometimes they don't really package well (frequently use those plastic sticky envelope things) and their CS can be lacking but the price is good. Amazon sells it for ~$12 on a fairly regular basis, has had it as low as $10 on several occasions, and last June 18th sold it for $8.58.Vic Pardo said:Last night I was in Book Off (used book/DVD/CD store in Manhattan) looking over b&w TV shows on DVD. I thought their offerings were way overpriced, especially since they're used, and particularly the public domain sets (e.g. "Decoy" with Beverly Garland and "26 Men" with Tris Coffin). I was intrigued by "The Adventures of Robin Hood" first season set, and "The Buccaneers" complete set. Each was $10 and each was put out by Mill Creek. I opted not to get them until I've had a chance to locate some episodes on YouTube and watch them to see if they're worth getting. (Never saw "The Buccaneers" and haven't seen "Robin Hood" since childhood.) Don't know if I want to have the whole sets if I decide I don't want to see them after sampling a few eps.
Anyone have these sets and have some reactions they want to share?
I also own a copy of the MC The Bucaneers but haven't yet watched any episodes. $10 is a very good price for that one as used copies on Amazon are going for more with new ones starting at ~$25.
