Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - picture quality in new Christmas collection?
I have this:



But I'm tempted to get this for $27 at Costco...



How is the picture improved in this new box set? Is it the same disc as the single-disc rerelease above (or even worse, is it the release before even that)?

Is that only available at Costco? I have Frosty & Rudolph. But for that price I'd rebuy to pick up Santa Claus is Coming to Town & Little Drummer Boy.

No, it's on Amazon too... but more expensive. You also get a Rudolph action figure with it at Costco though.

The case is really nice - looks like a LOTR extended edition.

Hrmm...wonder if Sam's Club has it. I have the original release of Rudolph (not the one you pictured). Be awesome to have them all together.

I was just there a few days ago and passed temporarily to see if DDD with the eventual 20% coupon would be lower (don't really care about the toy), but in retrospect, maybe I will pick it up there next time.

Next to Charlie Brown Christmas, these were always my childhood faves.

Honest question:

I have my DVDs divided between feature films and the TV Genre. Does this fall into the television genre, or the feature film genre (as an FYI, I have pretty much only Season Sets in the tv cabinet, and made for TV movies in the movie cabinet)? What do you think?

Makes sense. Guess it could be considered "Vintage CBS Christmas Specials: The Complete Series"

Thanks!

perfect!

I changed it a bit though since Charlie Brown was CBS too and that's a classic...
