The package arrived today with one glaring omission. "Kurosawa's Four Samurai Classics" was not included. I called DDD was on hold for only 90 seconds! Their CSR was very courteous and reordered it for me. Now, I'll have to wait until about the 25th for it to ship (no problem since I have all of these others to get through).

I'm surprised at the popularity of the sale. My original order number was 2485xxxx. My new number is 2490xxxx. That's over 50,000 orders over 5 days!

It was before thanksgiving last year too...

Placed my third and last order:

SOUND OF MUSIC (40TH ANNIVERSARY) 1 $14.70
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER-COMPLETE 1-7 1 $111.89
BEN HUR (4D/COLLECTOR'S ED WITH BOOK) 1 $20.91


The Buffy price was too good to resist. I wish that a complete collection of X-Files would be reasonably priced, although I could pass on the last 2 seasons or so. My first order shipped quickly but my second order is still open even though all items are in stock. Hopefully, that will ship soon.

Man the dvds must be flying out of DDD doors. I know I have spent close to $2000 so far. I need to stop going to DDD because I can't stop buying. I need help.

First order(11/10)

HOGAN'S HEROES-2ND SEASON BACKORDER 1 $21.75
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER SET 8 SHIPPED 1 $28.70
PARTRIDGE FAMILY-2ND SEASON SHIPPED 1 $16.92
THE MATRIX BACKORDER 1 $33.55
THE NAKED GUN SET SHIPPED 1 $12.76

Second order(11/14)

DAILY SHOW-INDECISION 2004 IN PROCESS 1 $23.04
KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE IN PROCESS 1 $4.79
CRIME STORY-2ND SEASON IN PROCESS 1 $19.19
BEATLES-HARD DAY'S NIGHT (COLLECTOR'S ED IN PROCESS 1 $11.04
LIFEPOD IN PROCESS 1 $4.79
BEST OF MISTER ED V.02 IN PROCESS 1 $17.15

Lifepod isn't a bad pickup for $4.79, btw it is a mid 90s made for TV sci fi film 'inspired' by Lifeboat(set in space for example). It is directed by and stars Ron Silver, and also has Robert Loggia and CCH Pounder. It won't make you forget Star Wars, or Lifeboat for that matter, lol, but it's a pretty good scifi mystery movie, definitely better than some of the other stuff they have for $4.79.

I'd personally recommend going with the Decalogue, and grabbing this other set during the next sale. 2 of the discs in the Kino set ("A Short Film...") are actually extended segments from the Decalogue. I'd recommend you start there.

It really depends. I placed a huge order on the 11th and my stuff didn't ship until today. Some people ordered at the same time (or later) and already have their DVDs. It really helps to be a bit patient during the 20% off sale -- DDD tends to get a bit overwhelmed (understandably).

Hmmm... never even heard of this one. A quick trip to IMDb shows that it's a 1993 flick. Reviews seem decidedly mixed -- lots of "Best sciFi eVR!!111!" comments with others that seemed to enjoy it much less.

Ah well, I'll bite. I actually didn't pick up much (anything?) in this sale that was a blind buy. I'll drop another $4.79 and get one surprise in the mail...
