Costco: Astaire/Rogers Ultimate Collectors Ed. $62.89
My local Costco has the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Ultimate Collectors Edition for $62.89. This is the one with all ten films and the bonus DVD & CD and other press goodies.
Great price for this. I would've gotten it, except that my "partial" Ultimate set arrived today from Amazon -- that's the one to buy if you've already gotten the first set. It contains the five new releases, the empty thinline cases for the five already released, and all the extras in the new big box. You take your old discs and put them in the thinline cases, and voila! About $46.00 shipped, and apparently an Amazon exclusive.
Or, if you're an entrepreneur, you might want to buy the entire new set at Costco and try and dump the first set on Ebay, but I suspect a lot of people are going to be doing that, and it'll be a buyer's market.

Thanks for the tip!

Sure, selling off the first set is a valid option, but time is money too and I just didn't want to take the time to set up an auction and make the trek to the post office to save $10 bucks.

It might pay to wait until DDD's next 20% off sale since this set is currently $69.89, and with the discount it would be much cheaper than Costco.
However since I have the first set my only option was to get the partial set from Amazon. I didn't feel like selling the first one to purchase essentially the same DVDs again.
