Amazon Gold Box TV week Sep 7th-14th

[david2708]

Beginning Monday 7th Sep, Amazon will have an entire week of TV DVD Gold Box deals.

[PopcornBandit]

Hoping for a deal on the Buffy/Angel complete collections so I can ditch my individual season copies. Thanks OP.

[cardsfan111]

If my memory is correct, I think everyone was underwhelmed by the deals in the last Gold Box week.

[jeffbase34]

If my memory is correct, I think everyone was underwhelmed by the deals in the last Gold Box week.

I remember this as well. Man, the deals sure have dried up lately. Everyone is now desperate to find something at Big Lots.

[smashthesymbols]

If my memory is correct, I think everyone was underwhelmed by the deals in the last Gold Box week.
That's the way I remember it too. The last TV week and the last HD week both sucked.

[Illini Jeeper]

Good stuff does show up from time to time in these types of deals. Hell, the great HBO week sale was just back in April.

[gimmepilotwings]

That's the way I remember it too. The last TV week and the last HD week both sucked.

Thank goodness... I dont have the money right now.

[starman9000]

If my memory is correct, I think everyone was underwhelmed by the deals in the last Gold Box week.

I think Northern Exposure was a great deal last time, but I didn't get it in time. Of course, with Target's sale on individual seasons lately, it's not as big a deal, but still the best I've seen.

[fhdavid52]

I hope they offer the Man From Uncle set again. Also the Buffy box, and the Angel box. And maybe the Star Trek original series.

[bigjim25]

I bought 2 from the last sale (Miami Vice & Incredible Hulk), it would have been 3 but I already got the Knight Rider Complete Series during one of DD sales, so I thought it was an ok sale. :D

[dino88]

FYI...Breaking Bad S.1 will be a lightning deal in about 45 minutes (4pm CST). I'm hoping for $15 or lower.

edit: Forget it, it's on "sale" for $21. Hopefully this is not a representation of what we should expect next week.

[moonraker]

I would love to see BSG seasons on sale... and I mean really on sale, like under $20 per season....

[Rob]

I think Northern Exposure was a great deal last time, but I didn't get it in time. Of course, with Target's sale on individual seasons lately, it's not as big a deal, but still the best I've seen.

It's always seasons 1-4 that are on sale, and also cheap at Target. I need 5 & 6.

[That'sAllFolks]

Well, at least after that last "sale", expectations are so low I bet no one is disppointed.

LOL, true that

[RequiemX]

It's always seasons 1-4 that are on sale, and also cheap at Target. I need 5 & 6.

I bought season 6 at the Rohnert Park, CA Target a month ago for $20.

It's one of those that cycles in-and-out on the bottom shelves of the TV section for $19.99 or $14.99.

[so it goes]

Last time I hoped for a decent price on Northern Exposure and was pleased when it came up so this time I will hope for a decent price on Twin Peaks. I'd really like to get the Gold Box for around $30.

[david2708]

Todays Gold Box TV Week begins.
First up Monday:
Seinfeld Complete Boxset $99.99

Pass!!

[jdx]

i dont know i took the seinfeld boxset been waiting it for sometime i say not bad for 99
came out to 103 with one day shipping signed up amazon prime :D

[GenPion]

Pass indeed. I don't need it right now. I got too much to watch as it is. I suspect another week that saves me money...

[forceuser13]

Tempting but I'll hold off.....$$ is a bit tighter than normal.

Hoping for something new on sale though this week. Doubt it, but hopefully something interesting hits.

[RobCA]

I went ahead and ordered Seinfeld for $99.99... back in March (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargains/551064-amazon-dotd-seinfeld-complete-series-99-99-a.html). :)

Rob

[joecansee]

I got the fridge Best Buy box set from best buy for same price few months back, halfway through it yay

[Viper187]

I ordered Seinfeld even though I shouldn't have. I just got done ordering a Denon receiver. I wonder what else we have to look forward to this week. I'd really like to see a deal on Home Improvement or Two and a Half Men. Walker Texas Ranger might also be tempting.

[That'sAllFolks]

Casablanca (Ultimate Collector's Edition)" on Blu-ray 28.99 ends 2pm PDT

44% claimed

[IJMSPORT]

If there wasnt another BD release of Casablanca coming out in a couple of weeks, I'd jump on this. Unfortunately, I dont have any use for the extras in the box set.

GREAT buy for some, especially bigtime collectors or fans; an appreciative and tempting, but ultimately, passed over offer for me. Thanks for the love, anyhow, Amazon.

[Mike86]

Seinfeld set is tempting even though I've got the individual seasons I'm sure I could sell them off on a friend or something. I'll probably wind up waiting it out this time and get it when it goes on sale again sometime.

[david2708]

Tuesday Gold Box

Full House the Complete Series. $78.99

Bleh...pass again.

[cinemaphile]

Short of a BSG Complete Series set (preferably Blu), I dont see anything popping up this week I'll bite on. I'm mostly caught up on my TV series, and the ones I do want to get aren't major enough to show up on this sale (Quantum Leap, Wings, etc)

[creekdipper]

... really like to see a deal on Home Improvement or Two and a Half Men. Walker Texas Ranger might also be tempting.

Don't know...do they sell bundles during Gold Box TV Week? Seems like I only remember complete sets.

Doubt they'd offer a deal on Two 1/2 anyway since Season Six just came out on DVD & they already offer a bundle deal on 1-6. It'd be nice if they did lower the price, though....say, $100 for all six.

And fans are still waiting for Walker Seasons 7 & 8 to be released (Season 9 has been out for a while).

A super deal on BSG would be nice. If they do bundles, Prison Break 1-4 w/Final Break would be nice, too.

Or a super deal on the entire 26 sets of Dark Shadows.

However, I'd expect to see more of some we've seen in the past...Lucy, 70's Show, Hulk, Knight Rider, MASH, etc.

[mvckalel]

Hoping for 70s Show complete boxset!:bdance:

[RequiemX]

I'm mostly caught up on my TV series, and the ones I do want to get aren't major enough to show up on this sale (Quantum Leap, Wings, etc)

If it's possible for you, make sure you buy the R2 Quantum Leap so that you get the original music. QL is one of those shows where the music is stripped-out in the US.

[That'sAllFolks]

Casablanca (Ultimate Collector's Edition)" on Blu-ray 28.99 ends 2pm PDT

44% claimed

Casablanca (Ultimate Collector's Edition)" on DVD 26.99 ends 2pm PDT Tues.

34% claimed.

I'd be pissed if I bought this yesterday.

[BSTNFAN]

Why? Yesterday was Blu-ray and today is DVD.

[cardsfan111]

And what does Casablanca have to do with Amazon's TV Week anyway? :D

[Judremy]

If it's possible for you, make sure you buy the R2 Quantum Leap so that you get the original music. QL is one of those shows where the music is stripped-out in the US.


Even in R2 (region two), the music is replaced in Seasons 4 & 5. Seasons 2 & 3 have the original music in R2. Season 1 has all the original music in both regions (R1 & R2).

[david2708]

Full House seemed like a Gold Deal dud. Couldn't even make it to the top ten list of top selling TV DVD's.

[Mhepburn20]

West Wing for $120.99 - not bad if you don't have any of the seasons

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27

[Neil M.]

West Wing for $120.99 - not bad if you don't have any of the seasons

Decent deal but they had it for $75 last December.

[movielib]

Accurate except that Season 5 in both regions has the original music.

[whotony]

...

[JB7]

Decent deal but they had it for $75 last December.

I was hoping for that price again.

[cinemaphile]

Yeah, looks like another dud of a TV week. Don't think I'll even bother checking Thursday and Friday

[david2708]

King Of Queens Complete Series $93.99

Another dud.

[PopcornBandit]

My hopes for the Buffy/Angel sets are slowly dissipating. :gah:

[Classic Films]

Apparently the Complete Abbott & Costello is the 2 PM EDT deal today. I assume these are their films and not the TV show.

Upcoming Deal
The box set features a legendary comedy duo. Now, who's on first?
Deal starts in: 01:34:07 remaining

I have tried two different browsers, and neither shows the Lightning Deals. Just a big blank space. :hscratch:

It will be interesting to see if they come even close to the DDD sales price during the lasy big sale of just under $47 for the entire collection.

Actual that should be 10 AM PDT, 1 PM EDT. Sorry

We frequently use the acronym DoD for Amazon's daily deals. Your suggestions might be more accurate. :D

It is probably still too early for really good deals. November leading up to Black Friday will hopefully lead to some good deals. Older stuff, which people who wanted it already have, seems to be what is being offered now. I don't recall seeing so many posts that say the current price is OK but it was cheaper last time (usually in 4th quarter of previous year.) I am hoping for future deals of new and up coming releases such as blu rays of The Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind, and North By Northwest. TV shows such as the Complete Aly McBeal and Farscape. And The Beatles CD Box set.

[david2708]

Friday Gold Box Deal

Will & Grace Complete Series $124.99

[critterdvd]

will and grace is tempting...

[cinemaphile]

and Amazon goes 0 for 5 once again!!!! DuD indeed...

[GenPion]

Pass. I love being able to not spend my money.

[bugula]

I was expecting some bigger series to come in below $100. I picked up Seinfeld and the only other season that tempted me was The West Wing but not at the price.

Another stinker of a TV Gold Box week.

[david2708]

Was a DuD week on Amazon.
How about over on Deep Discount Special

Little House On The Praire Complete Box Set. $105.73.

http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=50261552

[PopcornBandit]

This TV week was underwhelming to say to the least.

[QuirkyMovieGirl]

I bought the Abbott and Costello set yesterday. Not the best price ever for it, but I'd really wanted in for awhile so I bit. Of course amazon messed up the price and didn't end up giving me the discount. I've called them about it and hopefully it will be fixed soon or I'll just end up having to return it. :(

[Classic Films]

- 8:00 AM PDT - Upcoming Deal
Coming Soon

Upcoming Deal
Lose yourself in the Wild West with this box set of masterpiece movies from the 1950s by a director admired by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Quentin Tarantino.

I assume this is the Budd Boetticher set from Sony. Let's see if they beat the $18.99 price at Costco.

That's odd. Amazon changed this deal to 10AM PDT.

How much was it supposed to be? I missed the post about that one...

Price is $25.99. Costco has a much better deal on this set.

[Corey31]

Still 2 days left in this guys, don't give up hope for there to be at least something worthwhile.

[QuirkyMovieGirl]

$56.49

[critterdvd]

"rescue me" seasons 1-4 $99.xx...

Isn't this series on sale for $15/20 a season often?

[Adrenaline]

"rescue me" seasons 1-4 $99.xx...

Isn't this series on sale for $15/20 a season often?

Yeah it's usually at Target/Amazon for $15-$20

[zekeburger1979]

0 for 6. Yikes.

[styl3s]

0 for 6. Yikes.
i didn't pick up any either but seinfeld and king of queens were awesome awesome deals

this rescue me deal is AWFUL.. they just had them at bestbuy last week for cheaper then this and go on sale at BB/Target all the time not to mention they always go for 14.99 on black friday which is coming up soon

[dogmatica]

Let me know when they have Six Feet Under for $60.

I don't expect anyone to let me know.

[zekeburger1979]

i didn't pick up any either but seinfeld and king of queens were awesome awesome deals

I should have clarified "0 for 6 for me." I don't like Seinfeld at all and King of Queens is disposable entertainment.

[melih69]

Wow this Gold Box TV week sucked big time.
I was hoping for Buffy Collection or Six Feet Under since I couldn't get on those deals in the past.
Well at least I am saving money thanks to Amazon.

[david2708]

And on the last day of a truely stellar week of GoldBox TV DVD we get...drum roll...

The O.C. Complete Collection $69.99!

And a big thankyou to Amazon for a week of great savings. Who knew most of us would score 0 from 7 and save a packet of money to spend elsewhere.
And not one set sold out all week.

[cinemaphile]

and it's a clean sweep! 0 for 7!! way to go, Amazon DuD!!!!

[Ravenous]

Wait King Of Queens was on sale this week? What was the price? I didnt see anyone here mention it.

[pepsiguy]

Does anyone know if The O.C. has been any cheaper in the past? I've been wanting it for awhile...

[b2net]

OC was $6 season for S2 & S3 during Big Lots sales..

[GenPion]

Does anyone know if The O.C. has been any cheaper in the past? I've been wanting it for awhile...

I got S1 for $10 shipped, and S2 and S3 for $6 each at Big Lots. I'm waiting for a sale price of $10-15 for S4 to complete the collection.

This Amazon sale isn't a very good deal IMHO. In fact, I didn't buy anything they had from this week... so it was definitely a bust.

I wonder if Amazon is making as much/more money. They may not sell as much, but make more on each one they sell. I looked on the Daily deals and most of them were 50-70% (I did not check every day). Just wondering.

[pepsiguy]

I got S1 for $10 shipped, and S2 and S3 for $6 each at Big Lots. I'm waiting for a sale price of $10-15 for S4 to complete the collection.

I almost got 2 & 3 at Big Lots but everywhere I read says this is the only place to get Season 1 in widescreen.
