Abbott & Costello Box Sets

I know that A&C Meet Frankenstein is OOP, so I was thinking about grabbing all three box sets before they go OOP too. Anyone have these? Are they good as far as quality? Would you recommend them?

Thanks!!

There has been a lot of discussion about the manufacturing quality of these sets:

My suggestion: If you buy 1, 2 or all 3, do it at a B&M where you can easily exchange the copy/copies, if necessary.

These sets are missing Abbott & Costello meet the Mummy. However the DVD is free at Papa John's* with a large pizza purchase.

I personally love all three sets. I think the picture quality is quite good. The first two sets can be had for under 15 bucks each now. At eight movies per set, you can't beat that.

Unless you want the commentary....because the box sets don't have it...

Keep waiting for a fourth volume, and hopefully all of them in one big box set.
