Wow, thanks for the heads up! Picked up AD and Wonderfalls, thanks to the recs I've seen on this site. Both are blind buys and I'm really looking forward to them.

Man, add this to the DDD sale and my credit card is taking a nice hit.

WONDERFALLS is a great show!


I want to pick up Pretender S2 and Roswell S3.

Hmmmm, how's Amazon deal is better than the DDD 20% deal? DDD has the Buffy Chosen set for $112, which is really $30 more than the "possible" 50% sale in March 2006. For $30 more, you can have it now and not worry about "out of print" (if it's LE), i think i can live with it.

I also picked up AD seasons 1 and 2 with this deal. Ive only watched the show basically once but I thought it was pretty darn good. I have a tough time developing a regular TV watching pattern so im sorry I didnt do my part to keep the ratings up

I ordered Arrested Development Seasons 1 and 2 and was given an order total of $31.94 when I checked out because of the $10 off special. I went with free shipping. They chose to ship the seasons separately. But they charged me $21.97 and $19.97 for the two seasons for a grand total of $41.94. When I check the order in my account it doesn't even mention the $10 discount. Anyone else having this problem?

Just send customer service an e-mail and they should fix it. First of all, this is a clear mistake on their part, so they should honor the deal. Second, I've been sending a bunch of e-mails to their customer service lately for price adjustments and more often than not, they grant them.

For instance I had preordered Arrested Development Season 2 months ago with Star Wars ROTS--price was $27.99. These shipped on October 31st I believe. Then they did this price reduction to like $21, and I e-mailed them for a price adjustment since it had recently shipped. They gave me the refund no problem.

Then I ordered a Walt Disney Treasure at like $27, then it dropped to about $24. I e-mailed them and they refunded the difference. Of course, with typical Amazon screwy pricing, the same item was at $29 the next day. But I got to customer service at the right time.

Anyway, sorry for rambling, but you should just e-mail them and they'll take care of it.

My sets came today . I love Amazon's free shipping, always 2 days to my door.

WarriorPrincess

Damn that's a great deal - so great, in fact, that I caved and bought it as a blind buy. Thanks!

boku68

I e-mailed them and they credited my account $10. Thanks for the help.

Is that how it usually is? When I ordered both sets, it said "usually ships in 24 hours". I ordered mine on Thursday and it's not even scheduled to ship until Friday the 25th. I thought it was out of stock or something, but don't see any sign of that.

wennma01

does anyone know how long these sales usually last? i want to get AD, but i'm expecting a $10 amazon gc in the mail for some survey i did and would like to wait till i get that.

Christi P

What survey did you do. Is it still running?

wennma01

it was just on my campus. it had something to do with the nielson cable ratings and what college-themed tv stations i watch. i was able to get three so i sent one each to my two e-mail accounts and one through snail mail to make sure that i got all three. i got the 2 in my e-mail and i'm waiting on the third

Did everyone else NOT get the outer orange slipcover for Arrested Development Season 2?

I just have the white box with the three slim cases in it. It doesn't even have the DVD specs or a barcode on the back. I thought they sent me 2 season 1's at first.

Also, shouldn't these be digi-paks? The disks in both sets are in 3 slim DVD cases.

excom101

I bought my Season 1 in a brick and mortar store and it, too, came in 3 slim DVD cases.

DeepSleep

My AD Season 2 is also missing the outer orange slipcover. No specs and no barcode. I think this was a manufacturing error. The set is shrink wrapped with a sticker applied on TOP of the shrink wrap that says "Winner 5 Emmy awards including 2004 Best Comedy Series"

20th Century Fox probably ran out of the orange slipcovers and decided to go ahead and shrink wrap and ship without it. (My guess is that Fox sent these slipcover-less sets to online retailers only, since you would not be able to sell them at brick and morter stores such as Wally World, Target, CC, etc. because there is no barcode for the cashier to scan...

My AD season 1 are in 3 slim line DVD cases. My slipcover-less AD season 2 is also packaged in 3 slim line DVD cases....

What recourse do we have, other than try to do an exchange and hope that they have copies with the orange slipcover?

Snowmaker

Yeah, I saw its all slim cases at FYE just now. Not sure why I thought they were digi-paks.

Mine has the sticker on the shrink wrap too. I'm going to try to contact FOX and see if they'll send one to me. Anyone know the #?

Here's a camera phone pic I just took of it:

Thanks for posting this deal. I had never picked these up until now. Just received my order today, and mine does have the orange slip sleeve.

TheHulkDeals

I got mine today and the season 2 have a white cover instead of orange. Is this a bootleg one? There is not barcode or anything.

Snowmaker

No, what we got is what's inside of the orange slipcover.

I called FOX yesterday and they're going to send me the missing cover.

evophile

That's pretty good of Fox. Would you mind telling me what number you called to get one? And did they charge you shipping for it?

Thanks a lot

No charge, I just had to email her my Amazon order confirmation.

ChefWinduAZ

I got my order today with Seasons 1 and 2 of Arrested Development. And Season 2 had the orange cover. My only problem was that my order has said shipping soon since Saturday and I didn't expect it to be here today. And I had used the free 2 day shipping with AMazon Prime and instead it arrived via 1 day shipping.

Helene13

Got my order today -- that was some fast shipping. (I'm still waiting for my DDD orders.) My Season 2 of Arrested Development did have the orange cover. But my copy of Wonderfalls had a "Thanks for shopping your BX/PX" sticker on the back.

i86time

That's funny... I just called the same number and explained the situation. The first question from the CSR's was where had I purchased it from and right after I said DDD, she said they can't do anything about 3rd party sources. I told her multiple people were reporting the same problem, and from 2 different sources (Amazon, DDD at least) and she just said contact DDD and see what they say. So now I have to send it back to DDD at my cost and wait for it again simply because Fox can't manufacture something correctly.
Thanks Fox!
