Make sure you look everywhere in the DVD section. My store had the Ford and 007 sets together on the movie side and the Stargate and X-Files sets on the TV shows side.

Anyone think that the Sopranos and Deadwood are going to go on sale soon? My store got a restock of Sopranos Seasons 1-6.2 and Deadwood 1-3.

I went to the Costco near my office today, and they has all the boxsets helpfully stacked together on the end of the DVD table. I think I saw all of them except the Ford set (but I might have simply missed it). I didn't pick up the X-Files set though... I'm still debating whether to get it. I'm leaning towards yes, but I'm not decided yet.

I'll be interested to see how much they're selling the Dirty Harry box set for. I'm guessing it'll be $49.99, but hopefully it's less than Target.

Someone mentioned seeing the 10 film Universal scifi set at Costco - anyone noticed the price?

Classic Films

Since you can always return it , even if opened, I would buy it and then decide if you want to keep it. I would guess when stock runs out these will be gone as I believe for example the Ford at Fox set is now OP.
I think except for CT, Costco charges tax on the price before the coupon.
Since these are discounted $60, the tax on these will appear substantial.

My Costco is either slow, slow on putting stuff out, or just gets stuff later than then rest, but they finally received the Marx Bros set that was discussed earlier in this thread. I picked one up a few days back. Now I own both the Silver Screen set and the green set. Great price for the green one. They were out of most of the other sets, though they had a couple of John Ford sets.

is there movie money in the Stargate set?

I picked up my Ford at Fox set today. I was glad to see the movie money as well. However, make sure the sticker is on the front. They had a cardboard stand at one end with all the box sets with movie money. But then they also had some sets mixed with the regular assortment of dvd's without the sticker on the front. I'm assuming those are older sets without the money, but I'm not 100% sure.

If it was there you couldn't have missed it - a huge black box with Ford at Fox across the top - mine didn't have any so it could be yours didn't either.

This one wasn't at any of our three Costcos.

Classic Films

At the Norwalk CT store the Ford sets were under the counter instead of on display with the X files, Stargate, and Bond sets. They also had one or two of the UA 30 movie sets. I took one of the Ford sets out from under the counter and put it on display.

I forgot about that. I've only been a Costco member for about 5 months, but my mom's had a membership for years. On several occasions she's told me that she returned things which broke years after she bought them. Maybe I'll take advantage of their generous return policy one of these days, but I have a feeling I'll hang on to the X-Files set. I picked it up today.

As someone else mentioned, it includes 2 movie ticket vouchers (not sure about the other sets), so that basically brought the price down $17. :P


Sure enough, mine was pre-coupon as well. Since I only bought the X-Files set (and some Q-Tips), it was only a $3 difference though - $9.42 instead of $6.42.

At my local Costco, they had some of the box sets in cardboard display boxes under the tables (it looked like they put them there as overstock, and forgot to make sure all of the sets were on the table). I saw the X-Files and Bond sets there, and since I was only interested in the X-Files one, I didn't look for any others. I'm glad I happened to peek down there, or I wouldn't have found this set.

Oh, and I didn't expect it to be so heavy! Now I definitely believe reports of the "extras" tray breaking under the weight of the DVDs.

lena

Yes, there is - I bought it yesterday. Just make sure the round sticker is on the front.

Peep

I thought that they changed this policy for DVDs.

thursdaynighter

Anybody see the new Dirty Harry set at their Costco and, if so, for what price? Thanks.

Ecthelion

It was there, but I don't remember what price it was. $49.99 I think.

TheMovieman

Don't know if this was already mentioned, but at mine they now have a Blu-Ray bundle consisting of the Spider-Man trilogy, Hellboy, Underworld, Underworld: Evolution and Ghost Rider for $129.99 ($18.57 per movie).

Also, I took up POTC1 (BD) to buy for $25.99 and the register automatically took $6 off. Don't know if this is for all Disney/Buena Vista titles, but I would assume so. Mine also had The Prestige, Gone in 60 Seconds, POTC 2, Chronicles of Narnia and probably a couple others.

Sweet Baby James

If the item number is the same as the one for POTC1, then the $6 will come off. Thanks for the heads-up.

Okay, just took the plunge and bought X-Files. This is one of those times when it's a great deal, but still a lot of money. I'm second guessing this purchase, but what the hey...

Also saw an assortment of $16.99 Fox box sets, including the new John Wayne 4-pack with the new "Big Trail" in it. Also had the X-Men trilogy, the Fox McQueen set, and more.

There was a new $8.99 WB assortment, with Brannagh's "Hamlet", "Color Purple", and more.

There was another Fox box set assortment, these were all $12.99, including the Baz Luhrmann trilogy, a family 4-film assortment, and a few others.

Jigen75

I got the X Files set for 120. and also Midnight Cowboy 2 disc for 9.99

Sweet Baby James

It's an awesome deal so enjoy it! I paid $80 a season back in the day from a store north of the border. Does anyone remember Total Action Universe?

TheMovieman

Yeah, mine had those plus a Chuck Norris set for $16.99. It had all three Missing in Action films and both Delta Force movies.

I picked up the new Dirty Harry Collection at our Costco in the Bay Area, California. The cost of the set was $49.99. My particular Costco had an ample supply of this collection.

maxfisher

I just picked up the X-Files set last night. I had bought all the seasons back in the day for $60 - $90 each, then sold them for about $40 each at the beginning of last year. $120 is just too good a deal to not add them back to my collection, especially considering the new movie will probably have me wanting to go back and watch episodes of the show. For any Indy members, the Castleton store had about 15 X-Files sets left, though about 2/3's must've been Canadian as they had English and French on the box. There were about 10 each of Stargate and Bond and 3 or 4 of the Universal sets.
