But, I hate spending $200 now and then some time before June 30th I find a better deal that would have saved me more. What's the verdict? Strike while the iron's hot or hold off and hope it gets hotter?
IMO you should go for it now.
If the 50% coupon shows up (if ever) it will definitely be after the current promotion ends.

Ok, now all I need is $13.16 (I think its counting my replacement orders (got a damaged case on Wonderfalls and AVP)). I have no idea how to get this to work though. I added Napolean Dynamite and 24 Season 3 and it still wants to charge me full price right on up to the "place order" page...can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong here?

I picked up:
1. Shield: Season 2 (DVD)
Price: $47.98 x Quantity: 1 = $47.98
2. Angel Season 5 (DVD)
Price: $47.98 x Quantity: 1 = $47.98
3. Futurama: Volume 4 (DVD)
Price: $35.95 x Quantity: 1 = $35.95
4. Wonderfalls (DVD)
Price: $31.98 x Quantity: 1 = $31.98
5. Alien Quadrilogy (DVD)
Price: $0.00 x Quantity: 1 = $0.00
Item Subtotal: $ 163.89
Sales Tax (CA/AL only): $ 0.00
Shipping & Handling: $ 3.95
Coupon Code (FREAKINKING) - $ 36.73
----------
Total: $ 131.11
Considering I was already going to buy Angel (Seaseon 5) this week for $40, in essence I picked up the other 4 titles for about $90. I will then eBay the Alien box-set since I already have one and make the deal even better.

I just recieved shipping confirmation and was apparently not charged for Millemium Season 2, dropping my total down another $48. The charge has not shown up on my credit card statement yet so I'll see in a few days what the final charge was. This deal is getting better all the time.

Did a quick price check/search on Angel sets (they are for the wife) and figured what the heck and ordered .
I was gonna get Season 5 (pre-order) as the "freebie" but since it's $39.99 at most stores on Tuesday I figured I would get the Aliens Quadrilogy that was $75 (rather than the $47 Angel set) .
Angel: Season 2 DVD 1 $47.98
Angel: Season 3 DVD 1 $45.95
Angel: Season 4 DVD 1 $47.98
Spacecraft Films Megapack DVD 1 $135.98
Alien Quadrilogy DVD 1 $0.00
Item Total: $277.89
Sales Tax (CA/AL Only): $0.00
Shipping Costs: $3.95
Coupon Code (FREAKINKING): - $59.53
Order Total: $222.31
Perhaps the Spacecraft combo could be had less elsewhere and it also had a "bundle" coupon which I could not figure out how to use with the freaking coupon so I figured the 20% off was better
Been wanting the Spacecraft moves for a while but they were expensive and I had no "bonus" for buying them .
I think the bundle coupon was like $4 off so no big loss .

Also, I noticed something very cool. planetaire and Big Dave got the $75 free gift when their PRE-FREAKINKING-DISCOUNT went above $149!!! They both ACTUALLY paid less than $149 and still got the free gift. I had to get my POST-FREAKINKING-DISCOUNT to hit $199 before I could get the free gift. It looks like planetaire and Big Dave made out GREAT!! Could either one of you PLEASE post the link that you used???

Since this coupon seems to be a glitch, I would recommend not waiting until they fix it.
I got:
$79.95 X-Files Season 4
$79.95 X-Files Season 5
$55.98 24 Season 3
$47.98 Roswell Season 2
$0.00 24 Season 2
$3.95 shipping
-$56.72 coupon
$211.09 TOTAL or average $42 a box set. I consider that a decent price for '24' and 'Roswell' and awesome price for 'X-Files'.

I am not sure how I get the extra discount to work, the only link I clicked was the first one in the post, at which point I logged into an account that I already had on the site. Seeing that I might get an extra 20% off, I closed out of that window and clicked the FREAKINKING link and was able to get both discounts. I am not sure what triggered everything to work together.

I think the extra 50 is on a per-account basis..maybe if you registered before the sale but never purchased ..or something like that..I made a purchase before from them...I registered a new account to see if I could get the extra 50 off but no go ..

thanks for the help. got the FREAKINKING coupon to work. is there a way to combine that with the free shipping coupon? also, is the $200 minimum calculated based on post coupon total or pre-coupon total?

My pre-coupon total was $249.85. The coupon took off $51.92. By my calculatiton, 20% of $249.85 is $47.97. $51.92-$47.97=$#.95 which was the shipping charge on the order. $191.88 is a great deal for X-Files S2-4 and Alien Quadrilogy.

I don't know if this was already mentioned before, but you can make the free DVD deal work with the $200.00 BEFORE applying the 20% coupon.
Just add $199.00 worth, add the free DVD, THEN apply the FREAKINKING coupon.
I did this with 4 Simpsons seasons and 1 Futurama.
Got these 5 plus the free Alien quadrilogy for $159.80 plus shipping.
I'll just sell the Quadrilogy on eBay for $50/$55 and and the price for each boxset will be just above $20.00
