Can anywhere beat $195 for Lost: Complete Collection?
 
That price on Amazon is the cheapest I can find.

I have a feeling this box set is going to get some black friday love, so i'm holding off.

This set is just a hair above $170 shipped at gohastings using coupon code WIN0810.

I am sensing the same thing. In any case, I doubt I'd sit down and watch the whole thing again for a long while anyway...

Some of us who bought the seasons 1 to 5 BD sets for $108.99 last December only need to get season 6. While there may be some deals (such as a lightning deal) around BF for the whole collection, I'm afraid there won't be any specials just for season 6 BD that will be roughly the same price I paid for the other seasons ($21.80 each). However, given that I'm still only halfway through season 1 and at my current rate it'll probably take me 1-2 years before I finish season 5, hopefully by then there will be a $25 or less season 6 BD deal.

I haven't missed any season 6 new release special deals? I know there was a $10 off coupon if you buy certain DVDs (that I don't want to buy), but I think that makes the "best" new release price for the BD $40 + tax... still $15 too high for me.

Is this a place you've ordered from before and trust?

Are you sure this will work on the blu-ray set?

I added it to my cart along with the code and the discount was taken off. I've purchased many items from gohastings and they are reliable. Do a search here for threads regarding gohastings.

Huh - it doesn't come up when I do the same. Wonder if the code is expired. It comes up as 212.15 (with tax) before and after I enter the code.

People in other gohastings threads also had trouble getting this code to work. Some people said that if you create an account and then opt-in to their mailing list, the code will then work.

That's the way I feel about it. I have so much crap to watch there's no way I would rip into this series any time soon. It will either drop to a great price on amazon.com DOTD or for Black Friday. Either way, I can wait. I just rented the complete series again before season six premiered on TV, so I am good for now.

I'm a sucker for the bonus discs, but I already got in on the deal Amazon had both for s1-5 and s1-2 (with the $20 upgrade rebate on s1-2 I paid less than $5 for both). I sold s1-2 from the s1-5 set at Amazon for a nice profit and also sold off my SD sets of s1-3 while keeping the bonus discs. And I also sneakily bought the Best Buy exclusive of s5 and returned to them the regular s5 I got from Amazon with the same UPC. So, if you don't include what I originally paid for SD sets I'm almost breaking even atm.
Only the bonus disc of the complete set interests me, but not enough to rebuy s1-5. What is all that paper junk with it anyway? A game?

How many bonus discs has there been anyway? I got s1, 2 and 5 from Best Buy, missed out on s4 from Walmart (and can't find it anywhere) and don't think s3 came with any anywhere?!? I also got one of the TV Guide discs. I believe they issued one after s1 and one after s2?!? I'm also missing the slipcover from s4, but I've resigned to not ever finding that.

BestBuy has a bonus disc for Season 6 too. They have a deal where you can order Season 6 and get $20 off DVD and $25 off BluRay of any set from Season 1 - 5

But for those who only need season 6 on BluRay, there are no deals now?

That's weird. All I had to do was login.

As for Amazon, if you leave it in your cart, it might pop up in your Gold Box. That's how I pre-ordered one for $185. I might cancel that and go with Hastings for $170. I've purchased a decent amount from them and they are reliable and have good customer service.

There's a $10 off instant coupon included in copies of The Last Song.

THAT's weird. Your account has to be on their mailing list for a sale code to work on that account.

Thanks for mentioning that. I just read the link at Blu-ray.com forums and someone reported some copies don't have the coupon inside (perhaps only Best Buy ones do). So, first I'd have to buy The Last Song BD ($16 AC) which I've never seen and that's too expensive for a blind buy, and then I'd have to HOPE that my copy has the coupon which it might not. I'm afraid I'll be stuck waiting 1-2 years for a deal around $25. Maybe if I finish season 5 before then I'll cave in and pay more, but I'm not even 10 episodes into season 1.

In the last song thread one person got a coupon in their bjs bought copy.

If you're an Amazon.Com store card user, you can use code SCBOXSET for an additional 15% off. This would make the set $165 and change. You also qualify for financing on any single item priced $149 and above when you use the card.

Also in that thread someone said it might be only Best Buy that has the coupons inside Last Song... :hscratch:

Is anyone buying this someone who doesn't have to own the extras and would be willing to sell me the bonus disc?

I'm doubtful, but if such a person does exist... please do consider!

I just ordered it for $160.56 from Hastings with the 20% off coupon. Best deal I've seen, by far.
