$11.99 at DDD. Linkypoo. (http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/redirect.cfm?referral=dvdtalkedt&goto=buyPage&identifier=ABD012549&promotion=y)

[pilot]

might want to include where next time so people don't have to look :)

looks like Anchor Bay dropped the MSRP on this..dunno why it's so cheap ..ddd/overstock/bestprices.com and dvdpacific list MSRP of $19.95 ..wonder if they're going to drop the MSRP on all the other seasons (maybe 10 or 20 bucks..doubt they'd drop it to 20 bucks each ..)

[Bobbin]

Awesome deal, but I think I'll wait till the 20% off sale and get it for $9.59.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

Damn me not noticing DDD having it for $11.99

smh@ Overstock telling me they can't cancel the order i made no more than 10 minutes ago.....*sigh*

oh well, it's only $2.57

still a great price for 8 discs

[The Cow]

Don't forget you can still get the free Hercules letter opener with this (mail in stuff)

Do you think they made the case smaller like the later seasons?

that makes this an even better deal:D

[onebyone]

Oh man, I have been putting off getting these, but no more. Thanks for the info.

[calhoun07]

I already own it, but if you are waiting for a 20% deal, I wouldn't wait if I were you. They list the SRP as 19.99, and that is obviously wrong. I think they must have accidently posted a price for one of the single DVDs, so you better jump on this if you want this deal and expect them to honor it. And, I would also save the page as a PDF or in some kind of format if they decide to be uppity about the mistake later on.

I am betting they will find this mistake very soon and correct it.

[justbarelymovin]

In, thanks OP!

[Ravenous]

Hell, Im not really a fan of this, BUT I planned on getting the later season with Bruce Campbell if I found them cheap.

But this is too good to pass up. The release date is 4/26 though. Whats up with that? Oh and even if this price sticks around till the next 20% off sale (which I doubt), the extra $2 wont kill me. I got that in change lying around in my room!

[Ravenous]

How do I grab a PDF? Can you hook me up? I wont be the only one ordering this. My cousin loved this show and was waiting for a chance to buy.

it appears to be a price drop, as other e-tailers have the MSRP as $19.95 as well ..

and Ravenous, it's a pre-order because that's how most e-tailers show a price drop.

[New Rambler]

I'd get this but my wife would enjoy it too much. Freeking Kevin Sorbo.....

[frozpog]

If only the rest of the seasons and the Xena series would drop to that price.

Google PDF creator. There are some great free programs out there that you can use. I use PDF Creator 8.0, and it just sets up the PDF creator as an option in my printers, and I select it as a printer and it creates the PDF.

[calhoun07]

I don't know how many of you knew that the first season set was first posted on the official Hercules website, but it was on there months before it was ever available in stores. Hell, I even contemplated buying it (this was back in the day I thought nothing of dropping $100.00 for an X Files season set). The website was selling season one for $100.00 as an online exclusive. I betcha the people who bought it then are kicking themselves now!

[New Rambler]

You can copy what's on your screen by hitting the "shift" key and the "print screen" key at the same time, then paste that into Word or an email. Called a screen shot.

[kenbenobi]

Thanks OP (and The Cow for the letter opener reminder). This is a show I would not have normally bought, but I always enjoyed watching. For 11.99 shipped, I'm all over it!

According to Anchor Bay the MSRP is 19.98 now.

It's really hard to believe that Anchor Bay would sell a 7-disc set for a $19.98 MSRP.

Neways, I would jump on this deal for $11.99 but since the new MSRP has been confirmed to be $19.98, I'll wait till June for the next 20% off sale.

[pilot]

DDD has shipped the one I ordered, so they're sending off inventory they've got despite the "new date" for the new price :)

[marty888]

Too good a deal to pass up!

[Pega29]

Thank you! I have been looking for those movies that came before the series on DVD, and at that price plus the 13 episodes of s1 I could not resist.

Mine has shipped as well. Ordered on the 11th at about 5:42am.

[Ravenous]

Damn, you guys either went to bed really late, or wake up too damn early!

I ordered it around when I made my first post. At about 6:00 pm (11th). Maybe Ill get the sent email tomorrow!

bed too late.

[Kavalier]

Now most onlines stores carry it for under $20, but DDD is still the best deal...

[The Cow]

Mine arrived yesterday, FWIW. Thanks OP :up:

[HE Pennypacker]

Got this wonderful set this evening. I always thought Hercules was a better program than Xena, so naturally I'm glad to get this set for such a decent price. I'm looking forward to the GOLD COIN included in the set as well as ordering the letter opener. Thanks OP!

[mvc]

I didn't even know that this contained the movies as well. :thumbsup:

[Epilady]

I always thought Hercules was a better program than Xena, so naturally I'm glad to get this set for such a decent price. What! That's blasphemy!!! ;)

I own the entire Xena series and wasn't going to bother with Hercules (which I did watch...I just didn't care for it as much). But, at this price, I ordered it. I got a notice that it's been shipped, so I do look forward to seeing this again :D

[Pega29]

Penny what is this coin you speak of?

[marty888]

Looking forward to this - mine shipped from DeepDiscount last Friday, but since I opted for the free shipping, it may take longer than one of the Legendary Journeys to actually reach me.

[pilot]

Penny what is this coin you speak of?
they were selling "gold coins" one for each season ...the first one comes with season 1 ..

[bbrunett]

Got Mine on Monday, now for the MiniSword...

[Slayer2005]

Definitely blasphemy. Xena is superior. Not that Hecules is bad or anything, but Xena is definitely better.

The price makes this set hard to pass up. I'm not sure if I'm going to just buy the first season from DDD or buy all of the seasons direct. They're pretty cheap when you buy them all direct.

[Mhepburn20]

What do you mean by "buy them all direct?" Are you talking about buying the bundled series? If so, it's still cheaper to buy individually from DDD. If you're talking about something else, please share.

[Slayer2005]

On DDD you can get all of the Hercules seasons for about $203.99. You can get same 6 seasons + 5 movies in a Hercules collector's edition library box set for just $179.99 at www.legendaryheroes.com. You don't get the library box from DDD.

Also, the Xena collector's edition library box set was only $199.99 at Legendary Heroes. On DDD all 6 Xena seasons come to $269.94 and you don't get the cool Xena library box that holds all six seasons. Free S&H too on all of Legendary Heroes' sets.


BTW, Legendary Heroes also sells the library boxes by themselves for just $1.00. No S&H either. Pretty amazing.

[Mhepburn20]

Awesome! thanks OP and thanks Slayer!

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

FWIW - IF DDD does their 20% off coupon in the next two months, that $204 will become about $162 (+ $1 for the box).

[Slayer2005]

No problem, Mhepburn20.

About the possibitlity of a DDD 20% off sale. You still don't get all 5 movies. For just $16.99 extra (during a 20% DDD Sale) you would also get the 5 Hercules movies from Legendary Heroes. 5 movies for the price of 1 regular DVD movie is quite a deal, so I believe Legendary Heroes still comes out on top as the having the better deal even if DDD has a 20% off sale. That's my opinion anyway. I guess it really depends if the 5 movies is worth the extra $16.99.

Xena, on the other hand, will still be about $16.00 at LH.

the 5 hercules movies are included with the season 1 set from anchor bay which ddd is selling..

[Erik68]

Got mine today, thanks OP.

[Slayer2005]

Oops. I had no clue that they were included with season 1 (didn't read the original post details on the set and didn't see the movies listed on DDD under the season 1 set, but then again I might have been reading too fast). It would be a great deal when DDD has their 20% off sales, but no telling how long it'll before they have another one of those sales.

I may go ahead and pick up season 1 from DDD. I guess I could just resell season 1 if I ever decide to get the entire library box set.

[Erik68]

BTW, Legendary Heroes also sells the library boxes by themselves for just $1.00. No S&H either. Pretty amazing.

Could not find the Hercules Box on that site, do you know if it is still available?

[Slayer2005]

I thought they had them. I guess they only carry the Xena library boxes at this time. Strange.

[TJ22584]

I received my set on monday. I love this show. Season 1 was great. 11.99 is a steal. I remember this set used to be $89 years ago. I was patient and it payed off!

[BamaDan]

Excellent find, thanks OP. Eight discs, decent extras, a golden Sorbo-rand coin, and the true measure...a friggin' sword letter opener mail-in offer for $12 is the best.

[Brent L]

I got mine today. Thanks a lot OP!

[HE Pennypacker]

It's too bad none of the other seasons have been price-dropped...I'd get 'em in a heartbeat.

[marty888]

Well, if they end up selling a kazillion of Season 1, they might be motivated to make more price drops.

[onebyone]

Got mine today. Thanks for pointing this price out as I never would have discovered it otherwise.

Now, to wait for cheaper prices on the rest.........

[Pega29]

I just got mine today, and had a question. For those sending in for the letter opener, what did you send in? And thanks again Buhweet for posting that deal to DDD.

[Scarecrow]

I printed out the order history page from DDD's site for this order. Hopefully that'll be ok.

I made a copy of the invoice that was in the box with the set. That's as close to a reciept as you can have.

[Ravenous]

Got my set today too! Thanks OP

It looks like theres a bit of a glitch in the show though. I made a post here so you new guys getting yours, I suggest you check out your DVDs and let me know what you see.
