Thanks, great price for this!

[zoomgirl]

Meh, consider me bitter. I am one of those people that bought it directly when it came out from Shout Factory....thinking I had a rare thing in my hands...to show my support...blah blah blah

Deep Sigh.

[mh4268]

Man I pre-ordered this for 118.99. They have better give me a price match.

[SonOfAStu]

Before I pull the trigger - there's no way this will ever see an HD release, correct?

If it hasn't shipped, call or email them. If it has shipped, you may be SOL but for $51 I would throw a fit over it and send it back if they can't adjust the price. Great deal but I guess I'll stick with the other set since I hate pocket sleeves.

Thank you kind poster!

This was one of my favorite shows in a long time and I simply didn't have the $ when this first came out so I had to pass on it. Now, I get this rare second chance and at this fantastic price. :thumbsup:

[Michael Corvin]

Holy crap!

I didn't bite at $87 during the DD sale since I own the standard set, but $68 is too good to pass up. Thanks dollfins!

With the rising fame of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segal, and Judd Apatow I think I will wait for the inevitable blu-ray release. This is an awesome deal though, but I cannot afford this and an eventual blu-ray double dip.

I would like to wait for that as well, but isn't there a chance that this was not filmed in HD?

[TomOpus]

I never watched the show but heard great things about it. This is a damn_good price and may push me over the edge.

[stronghold7000]

I was lucky enough to get a copy of the original shout factory release for $5 total at a local pawnshop a few years back. It was missing the slipcover, but the discs were flawless. Probably the most fortuitous find in all my years buying movies.

It was filmed in 35 mm according to IMDB, so it can be improved. Not saying that it's happening in the near future though, and this is a great deal.

[fwc]

My order at amazon had already shipped but I was able to call and get a "one time price adjustment" down to the current price, even though they ended the post-price guarantee program back in September. For $50+ in savings I would definitely have sent it back and re-ordered the cheaper one.

Good point. Went ahead and ordered. I wouldn't mind double dipping this set and giving the DVD version to an HD-impaired friend if this does go Blu someday.

[Harold Chasen]

I bought it when it came out, paid full price (which IIRC was $125), and have derived many hours of entertainment from it. No regrets and highly recommended. Note that it has two bonus discs beyond what you get in the regular box set, plus the yearbook is cool.

[MTRodaba2468]

That's a fantastic deal!

MUST...ORDER...

[Kory]

Hadn't planned on buying this, although I considered it with the 25% off from DD. Had to jump on this though. Doubt we'll see it much cheaper than this --- although I'm sure my buying it insures that it will be dirt cheap some day.

[toddly6666]

How about a price lowering of the regular box set? For the past 3years, I haven't been able to find the regular box set of Freaks and Geaks, used or new, for less than 40 bucks....does anyone know where I can find it cheap?

i'm kicking myself in the ass because i DID order it from ddd lol i thought it was a good deal at that price and a steal at this price. i guess i will just list my extra copy on half or something since if i cancel from ddd it will screw up my cashback. i'm also glad to hook everyone up with a deal (finally!) since i have gotten so many good deals from all of you!

[Adboy151]

Thanks again... Mine just shipped.

[Rizor]

Ordered it as well. I love the show but $120 sounded too steep for me back when the yearbook was originally released. $68 is still pretty steep, but I figured what the heck?

[Michael Corvin]

Thanks again... Mine just shipped.

Damn. Mine says Dec. 1.

[dollfins1]

Damn. Mine says Dec. 1.


me too. i ordered it along with another instock dvd (101 dalmations) i had in my saved cart. i waited this long to get the set i guess i can wait a little longer.

I already opened it when they lowered price. I just emailed them and they are giving me a 51 dollar refund. There is something where if the price difference is over a certain amount and within a week I believe they still price match.

[manicsounds]

I emailed them about the $5 price decrease with a Looney Tunes set, and asked for a refund, and they said "sorry" and wouldn't give a refund. I'd have a big fit with $51 though...

[Michael Corvin]

:banana: I posted my standard F&G set on Amazon as soon as I ordered this and already sold it. $40, not too shabby. $28 upgrade, Nice. :up:

I'm thinking of making that play, too. I've been wanting this damn thing for some time now!

ETA: Made the play. :)

Used Code BMLSAVES for $10 off as well (requires use of Bill Me Later for method of payment).

[NiCK Crush]

why is this thing so expensive everywhere?

[hindolio]

f&g le = $68 shipped = cheap

might go down (along with the rest of the economy that has yet to go down), but for now, the above is true.

Well yea, i know this is a good deal. But Best Buy, etc, its insane.

[Vendetta-AKK]

Thanks for the post, I ordered this as well. I rented the DVDs about 5 years ago and remembered really enjoying the show.

[FangsFirst]

Well yea, i know this is a good deal. But Best Buy, etc, its insane.

because they set the list price at $169?
Even if a retailer gets a psychotically good deal (say, 60% off) then to make anything resembling profit they'd still want to sell it around $80+

Most retailers get more like 40-50% off though anyway.

[blinkangel44]

So I was gonna save up my money for this (I'm currently trying to buy an iTouch), and now it's back up to $130! :*(
And it's Cyber Monday!

Grrr. Do you guys think the price will ever go down that low again?

more than likely. put it in your cart (saved for later)and watch the price bounce around. i've got about 50 items saved like this and i see daily fluctuations all the time. when it gets cheap again pull the trigger.

i KNEW that inkling to order it last night was there for a reason....thank god i pulled the trigger on it or i'd be kicking myself today

[profbobo]

I had no idea this went retail and was shocked to see it at Best Buy today. I still have zero regrets about buying this years ago, though. It is an awesome set and maybe the best DVD set I own, beating out several of the other region sets I have.

Me too!!

[Michael Corvin]

Wow. Sometimes Amazon amazes me. I ordered it the other day when posted and it already arrived today. That was with the free super saver shipping. :up:

The set/packaging is nothing short of awesome. Totally lives up to the hype.

[dizzlle01]

Damn it, I have always wanted this and when I finally find this thread, the deal is OVER.

Michael, I posted the following in the Freaks and Geeks Yearbook to be re-released thread:

I received my yearbook today. This isn't good. As soon as I saw the discs, I figured there would be a problem. I have seen pics of the previous limited edition, and it looked like the discs were in sleeves and THEN inserted into carboard slots in the yearbook. That is not the case this time. The discs are in cardboard slots without any protection. Most of my discs are scratched. I'm trying to decide whether to contact Amazon, or Shout Factory. I am NOT happy.

Are your discs fine?

[Trevor]

Damn it, I have always wanted this and when I finally find this thread, the deal is OVER.

[Kory]

My set shipped yesterday, and arrived today, and I chose the free Super Saver shipping.

Haven't had a chance to inspect the discs yet, but glanced through the yearbook itself and this is seriously awesome. A special edition geek's wet dream.

Oh, yea. The yearbook itself is delicious, but I am so upset over the condition of my discs. The scratches MIGHT be superficial, but they don't look it.

[jiggyblau]

I got mine today, sold the other set for $35, and, while I agree the discs are just shoved in the slots unprotected, the yearbook is absolutely stunning. I simply can't imagine a better special edition DVD.

[smirnoffski]

Although I have never seen a single episode, I have heard nothing but praise about this show. When the set showed up at $67.99, I was nevertheless reluctant to spend that much on a blind buy. But now, I am really regretting not taking the dive. Woe indeed. :(

[profbobo]

I've got the original set, and the DVDs were definitely placed in protective sleeves, then in the yearbook itself.

[SonOfAStu]

Man, I really hope my set shows up on Monday. :(

[Anono]

Excellent!:D
