The Films of Alejandro Jodorowsky box set coming out next Tuesday (5/1) is listed for $30.18 at DDD — good price for a 5-disc (?) set.

Anybody come across a better price for it out there?

Spiral Staircase

DVD Planet $29.97

cgray

use coupons at dvdplanet, too. (see the coupon thread)

The Valeyard

Huh. DDD had it for $29.99 on Friday.

And it's a 6 Disc set.

Tolhurst

maybe costco will carry these




.......I don't think so either!

Peep

5 DVD's and a CD, to be precise.

Ravid

Does not show up when I do a search for it.

ElCambio

Jodorowsky set at DVD Planet

Anna Karina

What are the chances of that price going up after the release date?

coolymccoolvin

anna karina, i know who you are.

are these movies very good

Well... certain circles consider them to be masterpieces of the absurd. That said, I can't wait to get my hands on a set and ditch my old bootleg El Topo VHS from Canada.

If you haven't seen Jodorowsky, my best recommendation would be to rent El Topo. If you like El Topo, you've passed the test.

It's 'cause they misspelled it "Jodorwsky."

Nick Danger

I've only seen El Topo and The Holy Mountain. They are extremely weird, the acting is mediocre, the message is often obscure, and the lack of a budget shows through. It's strictly experimental cinema. There's no commercial potential.

But they're intelligent, creative, and like nothing else that has been committed to film.

The Valeyard

To be even more precise: 4 DVDs and 2 CDs.

This looks like one I might grab during the 20% off sale.

My thoughts exactly - unless there is an "Anchor Bay Midnight Movie Sale" between now and then.

Tolhurst

$30 for the package is a great deal

of course they do have those anchor bay b1g1 sales.....

scarredgod

good luck, i expect it will go up at least 20% before the next sale but maybe it wont.

Anna Karina

So is this an offbeat answer to my question? Because...

scarredgod

sorry, didnt see your post, i was responding to the other person.

DDD tries to beat the other online stores. after the first week or two when amazon and best buy raise their prices back up so will DDD. and for the past couple years DDD has made sure that they get their prices marked back up before the big 20% sale. just check all the 20% sale threads where people are complaining how everything in their wishlist has gone up in price.

some go back up, some stay the same, hence the statement that maybe it will and maybe it wont, its a gamble.

alfonsosoriano

Well, I suppose it's true that some things rise in price, but I never really noticed many things.

goosh

Those of you with a local Fry's Electronics store may want to check it out for the box set.
I found one priced at $9.99 and they honored it, even after discovering they mislabeled the set.
At this price, even if you've never seen a Jodorowsky film it's well worth it.

It's 29.97 at DD now

MovieExchange

Depends if it's available or not. They're doing the old "limited edition" thing on us, so it is possible that it's a true limited edition. Granted, for every 100 "limited edition" releases, only one of them turns out to be like the Martinis & Medicine collection and is really limited.



That does happen, but a lot of those go right back down during the sale. I recall the latest CSI season going up, and as soon as we mentioned it to DD's rep on this site, the price (along with a lot of others) went back down again.

another option with much faster shipping than DD...

$32.02 - $5 off first time coupon + $.99 shipping = $28.01
