first time posting here... but basaro, i also ordered the KITH dvds from A&E and my S2/D1 disc also has that pop in the skit. maybe it's just poor DVD mastering? just thought i'd let you know, cause that would annoy me too. still $30 bucks is better than $100. thanks MovieExchange for clueing me in.

What a deal!!

alfonsosoriano 07-28-06 01:17 PM

Kids in the Hall is sooo tempting...

Anyone know anything about this Cell Block tv show? It looks interesting but the dvd looks like a compilation of a bunch of different episodes compared to being season one etc.

got Avengers DVD set #2 1967 for $9.99! This lists for $40 and is usually on sale for about $24!

Wahoo!! thank you.

Picked up first two seasons of Kids In The Hall for $28.93, including free shipping. Thanks OP!

Thinking about getting KitH S1 and 2 as a blind buy. Just wondering if someone could compare it to some other show or movie to see if it would be to my liking as I've never seen a single episode of the show.
Also thinking about Supercar since I thought Thunderbirds was an alright show, but this would be a blind buy too. So, I don't know. Anybody who likes Supercar?

Chris-K 07-28-06 11:27 PM

Supercar is a more juvenile series than Thunderbirds, and the modelwork and puppets aren't as detailed, but it's still fun if watched in small doses. The charcters are rather stereotyped, with a gee-whiz young kid, an absent-minded professor, and a baddie with an Eastern European accent. The transfer is absolutely spotless, much better than the transfers on Thunderbirds, apart from the scenes that use back projection.

Good News : My package arrived this morning, just more than 24 hrs after ordering it -- A new record! :D

Bad News : Whoever did the packaging neglected to include two of the three items I ordered in the shipment, forgetting to ship 67% of my order -- Another new record! :(

Steve 07-29-06 09:56 AM

I put in my order yesterday but never received any e-mail confirmation. This happen to anybody else? I didn't print out my invoice so I don't even have an order # to call!! assumed I would be getting an e-mail with the details.

I wouldn't worry yet. I received a shipping confirmation e-mail much later, but no order confirmation e-mail & my KITH sets arrived before 10am yesterday. Also ordered backordered Courageous Cat. Wonder if I'll get it...

Thanks for the info, and welcome to the forum!

I didn't find notice any more issues with the rest of Disc 1 and 2. Haven't started disc 3 yet.

xmiyux 07-29-06 02:36 PM

I placed my order before i saw anything about a free shipping coupon so mine is being shipped with the super saver option (which was free). I actually got 3 emails confirming my order but nothing saying it had shipped. Hopefully they show up soon. I snagged the two Kids in the Hall sets as well as 2 documentaries to possibly use in my classroom.

Lokimok 08-01-06 11:28 AM

The backordered Courageous Cat set arrived this morning - much quicker than expected. --Now what the heck was I thinking? I got it for nostalgia. I remember watching it on WPIX when I was very young. But 12 hours!? I think this is a very rare case where a Best Of or even a bonus feature on a Batman movie would have sufficed...

longshanks 08-01-06 12:02 PM

Just thought I would let everyone know that A&E also listed these titles on eBay with prices starting at $0.99 with free shipping. Most of them are going at pretty low prices.

A&E Ebay Store

EDIT: Didn't notice the reserve...maybe not such a good deal

Looks like the DVDs have reserve prices so we're not getting these for .99

JesseCuster 08-01-06 01:24 PM

I picked up season 1 and 2 of The Kids in the Hall. Quite an amazing deal. Thanks!

CasEjonz 08-01-06 01:42 PM

Thanks for the heads up picked up:
Horatio Hornblower set 1&2 VHS and Upstairs Downstairs season 5 DVD for my Mom, and Unreal story of Professional Wrestling for myself.
$50 for all, great deal!

BornAgainStar 08-01-06 01:46 PM

Man A&E sure does have some poor feedback on eBay.

domino harvey 08-01-06 02:19 PM

I just want to say thank you so much for this link, this was the best deal I've seen here in several months of lurking.

renaldow 08-01-06 02:42 PM

Just got KITH 1,2 via free Fed Ex Overnight, and both came in good shape. They look fine, aren't crushed in anyway, and were packaged with those damn pillows.

Thanks, OP!

boc4ever 08-01-06 04:08 PM

Stellar deal...great find, thanks!

Just a FYI. I made a bid for $25.02 for the Complete Mr. Bean (not the animated show, with free shipping and a $10 giftcard to aande.com) and it did not meet the reserve. The auction ended with me as the highest bidder at $21.50. They emailed me a second chance to buy it for $21.50. Not a bad deal IMHO. I haven't decided yet though. They gave me 3 days to decide. What do you guys think? Cheapest online is DDD with almost $30.
Just thought some of you would want to bid on some auctions in order to get a 2nd chance offer. Worth a try.
