Yes, it comes with a slipcover.

So is it ADV who doesn't want their anime sold during the sale or is it going to come back?

MichaelMeyers 11-10-05 11:35 PM

Placed my first order and got:

FIREFLY-COMPLETE SERIES $ 23.91 1 $ 23.91
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM-4TH SEASON $ 22.37 1 $ 22.37
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM-3RD SEASON $ 23.99 1 $ 23.99

Will be placing another one come Tuesday and thats it for me, I'm depending to keep my spending under control unlike the last couple times they've had this sale

Why are so many people asking about the Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection going up in price? It's been said many times that it hasn't. I've had it on my wishlist since before it was even released and it hasn't gone up at all.

I have a feeling ADV is to blame since they asked to have a lot of their titles excluded from Right Stuf's sale last week. I emailed DDD about it though. Hopefully I will get some sort of answer.

Ep III: You paid $13.10. I paid $14.84. You saved $1.74.

Well, the savings on Lost I'd consider decent. The others, eh.

Just a reminder to keep your brains plugged in during this sale. You may not always make out as much as you'd like to think or hope.

Very good point, and everyone needs to check prices carefully, but I already saved around 14 dollars based on your numbers. Plus, taking in to consideration the two titles you didn't mention...I usually shop at my local Best Buy...they want 50.99 for Alias: S4 and 49.99 for Wrestlemania: Vol.1, which means I saved about 54 bucks by not buying locally.

I wouldn;t worry about it. Think of the trafic the site is getting and how many orders are going through. JUst give it time. I definitely would NOT re-order.

Good luck! I’ll be doing this also, did it last time and it does take some time but this time I’ll be updating every day or two so I don’t have scores of pages to go through at the end. I'll post any title that 5+ or so people have bought (to give people ideas of what others are buying).

Speaking of which… THE HERZOG/KINSKI COLLECTION, after discount, is $33.59. There was a $11 or so price drop a couple of months ago, I had paid $43 or $44 for this after discount during the last 20% sale. For $33.59 it’s a really nice buy (five films plus a documentary including Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre: The Wrath of God). The Werner Herzog Collection is also the same price, but I haven't seen the movies in it so I can't really comment on it one way or the other.

As Johnny Zhivago mentioned (post # 263), Cannibal Holocaust is a limited edition. My guess is that they are sold out. And yes, it’s reputation is well deserved.

David (DDD), do you still have this title?

Nice link, worth reposting.

I had a question: What are some good cheap TV series? By cheap, I mean around $20 or so. I see that Eerie Indiana is $16 or so and has 18 episodes. Is that any good? Would a 2nd grader who loves LOST like Eerie Indiana?

As for the sale this time, I still have several movies from the summer sale that I haven't opened yet so I'll be taking it easy. Plus, I just spent ~ $400 on a new gun / accessories (a muzzleloader - for deer hunting), so things are a little tight right now.
