Ok, it says it has 14 discs, but on the list of discs it has 16 discs listed. What gives?

Are you sure you are reading that correctly?

14 discs packed with every episode from the programme's four year run!
*Means 14 discs span the entire run of Flying Circus*
16 tons of fun, including hilarious extras and exclusive highlights!
*Total of the DVD set*
2 MONTY PYTHON LIVE DVDs!
*These are the other two DVDs that add to the 14 discs to make 16*

It's on back order for a while but I've waited a couple of years already for this, I don't mind. Thanks OP!

Using that 10% off coupon link, I reordered and then called up to cancel my first order. I asked the guy if he thought they'd get enough because my order # from today was almost 3000 higher than yesterday, and I'm assuming at least 2/3rds of the site's order were for this set... i.e. at least 2000 per day. The rep said my later order might be delayed beyond June 1st, but I should get it eventually. I hope that's right as I don't want to regret reordering a day later to save a meager $3.50 only to find A&E can't get enough to cover all the orders.

Well.. I'm pretty sure that the sets are still in production.

AND

A&E is the distributor and not just a retailer, so I don't see why there would be any issue.

I ordered one yesterday morning. It's been approximately 24 hrs. and i still have not received a confirmation email. I've never ordered through a&e before, so should I be worried or is this normal?

I'm in for 1. I'm willing to wait for this set. I almost bought it at $50, $32.48 is just killer.

Jeffski, I got my "thank you for your order" email seconds after placing my order. If that's what you mean by "confirmation email" you may want to contact them.

Ok, wow. It took me THREE weeks to reset my password. I've only be able to lurk and not answer questions. /tear

Concerning the user above - I'd call and see if it went through. My order was put through 2 days ago and the email was sent within roughly 30 seconds of me clicking "Done" or whatever that button was.

Great deal, thanks OP! And this was a blind-buy for me, too. Only seen Holy Grail. >_>

You may want to check your spam or junk mail folder, that's where my notification email ended up.

Thanks OP for the heads up on this one...I ordered a couple as gifts and one for myself, for being generous enough to give them as gifts...I've wanted this set ever since it became available, but was too cheap to get it.

Thanks again!

A&E only charged me $6.98, is it like this for anyone else on their bank account?

Well it's probably just a temporary authorization(which they use to make sure your account has sufficient credit and is legit), my total was $50.xx(also got seasons 1+2 of kids in the hall) but it is only showing up on my credit card statement so far as a temporary charge of $18.98(which is what the kids in the hall seasons cost), because presumably those aren't backordered and are ready to ship.

Note that they're not supposed to charge your credit card until they actually ship the product, most reputable places won't do that. So the Monty Python stuff shouldn't be charged to your card until it actually ships...
