Discovery Store all DVDs on sale

Discoverystore is having their semi-annual sale on their dvds again. Season one parts 1 and 2 of Mythbusters are each 19.99. They have a lot of dvds that are 4.99 or 5 for $20. Free shipping on $75.
Codes: COM10 $10 off $50
EMAIL07 $5 off $25

I read that COM10 expired 12/31, but it still worked when I tried it. Also, I can't find Mythbusters Season 2 on their site. Can anyone else?

MythBusters DVD releases are confusing. Let me start by saying don't get Season One, Volume Two, as all of the episodes on that are also on the Season 3 set plus 15 others.

As a quick synopsis, to get all the episodes through the fourth season (not including specials), you just need Pilots, Season One, Season 3 and Season 4. Here's a list I made showing which episodes appear on which DVD.

Nice that the Best of Discovery Collection volume 4 is on sale for 9.99 and you don't have to spend $50 to get it this time.

Thanks megashopper! I got a couple copies of the Unsolved History: Jack the Ripper and the new Stormchasers set. Excellent prices and the $5 off $25 worked for me too.

Thanks OP!

Ordered the third and fourth seasons of Mythbusters and a few of the specials. Not counting clip shows and the holiday special (which I held off on getting in case it's included in season five), I am only missing the Jaws Special, which is out of print and unavailable (despite being included in this sale). It goes for $60+ on Amazon, so I doubt I'll ever get it without a reprint being issued.

Too bad Planet Earth isn't included in the sale. At $50 it's still a little high for my tastes. I tried getting the much cheaper BBC version, but it's just not the same...

Some of these are also on sale now at DVD Empire.
Mythbusters collections 1 and 2 are $17.43 each.

http://dvdempire.com/Content/pm/disc...99365993650783

Sorry the Mythbusters collections at DVD Empire seem different from what is sold at the Discovery Store.
Collection 2 :

Ever wonder if human teeth could stop a speeding bullet? You're about to find out! Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage are back to test a host of the most insane and dangerous myths ever dreamed of. No theory is safe from the scrutiny of the MythBusters, who take on the Hindenburg disaster, Tesla's Earthquake Machine, the Mentos mint-Diet Coke Internet myth and much, much more! From the wacky (can a hurricane blow the feathers off a chicken?) to the death-defying, Hyneman and Savage go where no reasonable people have gone before in separating the reality from the ridiculous!
Find these exciting episodes in this special collection:


Helium Football
Bullets Fired Up
Killer Whirlpool
Crimes and Myth-demeanors
Deadly Straw
Earthquake Machine
Diet Coke and Mentos
Anti-Gravity Device
Firearms Folklore
Holiday Special
Pirate Special
Hindenburg Mystery
Underwater Car Escape

I wish I'd known this earlier! I bought both my sons part one and two of season one for Christmas. One of them also got season 3 and the other got season 4. So I still need one copy of season 3 and one of season 4, and I guess the pilots because it looks like they aren't on any of the sets I've already gotten them. I only see one pilots set and it only has 3 episodes on it. Is that the only one they need? Discovery sure does make it confusing for people trying to get all the episodes.

If you buy these sets:

Pilots
Season 1 Part 1
Season 3
Season 4
Episodes 70-74

You will only be short of the following 12 episodes(Some available in other collections) up until what would supposedly be #75 (Dog Myths):


Best Animal Myths (Unavailable)
Best Electric Myths (Unavailable)
Best Explosions (Unavailable)
Christmas Special (Unavailable)
Buster Special (Individual DVD)
Ultimate Mythbusters (Unavailable)
Mythbusters Outtakes (Best of Discovery v4)
Shop till you drop (Collection 1 or Individual DVD)
Mythbusters Revealed (Collection 1, Best of Discovery v4, or Individual DVD)
Hollywood on Trial (Collection 1 or Individual DVD)
Mythbusters Jaws Special (Individual DVD)
Mega Movie Myths (Individual DVD)


This cuts down on any doubling up.

MythBusters Revealed and MythBusters Outtakes are on the current Best of Discovery Vol 4 set.
Also, there was an Episodes 75-79 set, but they don't have it listed anymore.

And to answer the above question, yes the Pilots DVD has all 3 pilot episodes, which are not available on any other season set.

Never saw anyone that actually preferred Sigourney Weaver doing the narration vs David Attenbourgh. Personally I can't stand Ms Weaver's version.
