As the title says I picked up Alf seasons 1-3 @ Best Buy for 14.99 each on Sunday. i was surprised to see the shelf markers stating 14.99 so I went to the counter expecting a fight...Nope rang up 14.99. THough the ad does state 21.99 each. Weird eh?
I am happy and OUT!!

I wonder how well these butchered sets are selling. Were there many copies on the shelf?
I guess at 14.99 you'd get more impulse buys than at a higher cost. I'd pay big bucks if they would redo these seasons the proper way.

Meaning what? I was thinking about buying these for the kids. Are they that bad?

It was an ad error... Their should be a correction saying they are supposed to be 15.99... However, the sale price is 14.99. So you pay 14.99. Even though the ad says 21.99 and the correction is to 15.99 they are 14.99. Isnt that nice! You think a major electronics store could get their electronics working right!

Selling the syndicated versions of any show is a slap in the face to consumers, and knowing this heavily disuaded me from buying the Alf sets.
My wife, aware I'm a big Alf fan, saw the season 1 set in the stores when it first came out and brought it over to me. I explained the problems with the set and she quickly put it back.
