Has anyone found a good deal on the Dark Shadows sets? Most places have then for $42+ (x26 sets, which adds up!). Has anyone found a B1G1F or similar discounted deal on these anywhere? TIA.

See the BN.com B1G1 free thread! They have some DS sets up for sale.

Is that only B&M? I checked the online sale earlier and again just now. DS sets are not on sale online. $^(

For anyone who's interested, you can get DS sets 2-for-1 in-store at B&N plus a $10 discount for using MC with the coupon in the B&N tv boxset thread. The local B&N had each set marked at $59.99. When it rang up, the coupon took off $16 (I believe a $6 normal 10% discount plus the $10 MC coupon) and the 2nd set was free. So two DS sets were $43.99 plus tax. Not bad.....

Why are you buying 26 sets of the same series? I mean other than ebay them..or giving everyone the same present?

Because it's Dark Shadows collection #1-26

...with 40 1/2-hour episodes per set.....
