I'm more excited about this (link to the product page on the image):
It appears that Complete Series set uses these "Value Edition" releases. That means we *finally* get S5V1 and I'd guess S5V2 will follow shortly!
Here's their shot of the sets in the Complete Series box:
They even tout...
You'll be lucky to find these in the stores. Most were there a month or so after release and have gone online only (and none I checked are available for pickup). They're easy to find on WM's site - just search for rifleman. All but 1 half season are in the $20 price range. Still a bit less...
The Rifleman Value Edition Season 4 Vol 2 (episodes 127-142) is back in stock at Amazon. Sold by the distributor and still a super reasonable $12.98 + $3.00 shipping.
^Wow! That sold out quick! I did notice it wasn't in stock at Amazon the day my order arrived but it never occurred to me to check North Fork's Rifleman site. They've even taken down the page! That makes me incredibly glad I didn't hesitate to order a copy!
For all of you who didn't get a...
My S4V2 set arrived yesterday! They used a bubble mailer but all is OK. No damage to either case or discs. :)
I hope they don't wait too long on the S5 V1 & V2 releases - assuming they finish the series in the volume sets.
The one I found on Amazon is being sold by "The Rifleman - North Fork General Merchandise" LGL Licensing LLC, which is the official distributor for the series. It's currently $12.98 + $3.00 shipping for a new copy. Quite reasonable! That's less than I paid for S4V1 from WM. They also offer...
I saw that on their site (I think I got the same email) and emailed asking about S4V2. I've not yet heard from them. I hope they've not given up on those "bargain" releases. I don't need, nor want, the extras and love those half-season sets.
I absolutely do not understand Wal-Mart's pricing practices. Several weeks back I pre-ordered Daniel Boone S5. A couple of weeks later the price drops ~$2. Rather than hassle with a price adjustment (since it didn't automatically go in) I figured I'd just place another order and cancel the...
The Rifleman S4/V1 is up for pre-order @ $15.37 with free shipping at Wal-Mart!
Or... $19.99 at Amazon.
Release date is May 16th.
WM gets my order this time. :)
I was in WM yesterday and saw the S3V2 release for $19.96. They had 3 or 4 copies. I'd have picked one up but already had my copy from Amazon (same price). It's encouraging that these seem to be doing so well. I'm pretty confident we'll see S4 in 2 volumes sometime during the year. I can...
Amazon now has The Rifleman - Season 3 V2 up for pre-order with a delivery date of November 15th, 2016. Current price is $29.95 but I expect it to drop and match WalMart's price once they have it up for order.
I saw today that Amazon has now matched the WM price of $17.41. Since I have a Prime membership and don't pay sales tax at Amazon it looks like I'll be cancelling my pre-order at WM.
The Rifleman - S3V1 now $17.41 at Amazon.
The Rifleman S3V1 is now available for pre-order at WM for $17.41 with free shipping to home or store. As with Amazon they show the street date to be 5/24/16. :)
I just discovered The Rifleman - S3V1 is up for pre-order from Amazon - currently $29.95 with a street date of 5/24/16. :)
Nothing yet at WM but I suspect it'll show up there soon - and probably for a lower price. At least S2V2 did...
I received a email from WM indicating my S2V2 order is delayed (no delivery estimate) but they are trying to get more stock. Their site currently shows S2V2 to be out of stock and local pickup is not a option. :(
^Thanks Ron! I went ahead with a WM order as it's currently the least expensive. Now I'm hoping it drops to the ~$13 of the other half seasons so I can cancel and reorder.
^Thanks for the heads-up! I've been checking WM (under the assumption that the first 3 were WM exclusive for a short while) about every fortnight only to come up empty every time. I don't mind at all making the purchase elsewhere! :)
Hopefully one of the stores here will have them in stock. Online shows available for order with pickup next week (which means not in stock locally) - but they're typically bad about actual stock/inventory status and I've frequently found stuff in the store(s) that online shows to be OOS or not...
I'm hoping they continue the partnership with WM to release S2 for no other reason than the packaging. What I've seen so far has me convinced I really like the series enough to make further purchases but I refuse to purchase anything in digipaks if there's a reasonable chance the packaging will...
I opened and started watching my S1V1 set a few days ago. WOW! What a great series! I watched it as a kid and liked it then but haven't seen any episodes since ~1963 or so. One thing I find amazing is how much story is packed into each half hour *without* them feeling rushed! It's also fun...
My S1V2 set arrived yesterday! Now I just need to crack open V1 and start watching! I have no excuse other than too much unopened product and too little time for viewing...
Thanks for the price and shipping info Ron! I just pre-ordered as well. I found the first volume in the store back in mid-November and got it for $19.57 tax included. With the $14.13 (including tax) price for V2 *shipped* it'll be $33.70 for the season. I can live with that price PLUS I get...
