Keep trying. I was getting that too, but after a couple refreshes the page loaded. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it, but $10.93 shipped was too good to pass up.

Woot! Thanks for the heads-up! I got Flintstones S4, My Fair Lady 2-Disc, and Men in Black CE (didn't already have it!), for under $25 shipped!

Also, if anyone is into this particular show, they have Degrassi Jr High - Complete Third Season for $11.95.

This aren't US Retail Version for what it's worth. I believe these are coded however as region 0 so they should play on any player.

Saying they are region 0 is tantamount to saying they are bootlegs.

What makes you think that? It's shown right on the page as region 1. They sell a lot of other DVDs that are all listed as region 1 and all have prices at or above usual prices. I see nothing to suggest this Flintstones set is anything other than a legit set that is being clearanced. If you know something the rest of us don't please share.

According to a forum posting over at SD, the Warner Bros. Sale discs are
Region 1 overstocks.

Here's the posting from "Flybynight" at SD:

Actually, they made a mistake on the listing, and it is really the licensed Region 1 version. I emailed them about it, and the sent me an email back:

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for spotting the improper region code for the Flintstones
Season 4 DVD. In fact the DVDs are Region 1 and are not boot legged.
These are original sealed DVD box sets we bought as overstock from
Warner Bros.

The reason the titles was incorrectly flagged Region 0 is our company
also re-releases classic Movies from our own Label "Alpha Video" and
nearly all of our releases are 0, so that was the default setting."

Had a mate in the USA order this for me, since the link wasn't working for me still when I left for work. Hope it goes through and is not canceled.

It's dead now and another poster added details but when this deal 1st started the web site had them listed as region 0 but email followups with the company showed that the region coding was an error on their website and the Flintstones S4 was a region 1 overstock.
