I desperately want to put an order in for this- but I've already spent way too much this month!

I'm in the same boat...and if it turns out that the Twilight Zone complete DVD set is going to be a lightning deal later then I'm really going to be pulling my hair out.

The individual season sets sold separately are the episodes only. The bonus disc is not included.

In the phone booth gift set, each season has 4 discs for episodes and 1 bonus disc with lots of extras. With 5 seasons, you get a total of 25 discs. (1 bonus disc with each season.)

If you buy the 5 seasons individually, you will only have 20 discs and will be missing the 5 bonus discs (1 with each season.)

Good price but I am going to hold on for Twilight Zone complete DVD set. I spent way too much money this month.

Been waiting for this, glad I didn't buy it for $100 at Costco.

Thanks for this reminder. A small part of me was considering putting this off, but now I've officially ordered. I will say I immediately watched the 1st season when I picked it up. Once this complete series arrives, I don't expect it to remain unwatched for long!

As a point of reference, the best deal on the Twilight Zone Collection was DeepDiscount's B1G1 through Microsoft's Cashback program. I picked up 2 sets and MS paid 10% rebate on the original price for each so the net cost was $80/set.

I couldn't resist the price. I watched the series back in the day and I hear they did a really nice job with the transfer quality.

I mentioned this deal to a friend; he promptly returned his unopened set that he purchased at FYE for approximately $130. He was happy.

Got my Twilight Zone for $170 on a three o'clock in the morning purchase, so this is a decent albeit not great price. I always said if I won the lottery big the Complete Twilight Zone would be the first thing I would buy. Since this did not happen and I am not patient, three o'clock in the morning it was! Still, for the quality for the set is outstanding and it's a great buy!

I snagged the TZ collection from DeepDiscount for $132 during a sale.... so $148 isn't terrible. It's a VERY nice collection and well worth the investment. While you're at it, spend another $12 and pick up the Twilight Zone Companion book. It's a great resource with details on every episode.

^ I'm guessing you waited all day just to be able to use that line.

agreed, i snagged two with the live discount, then sold one of them for $190. so i ended up paying about $50 for my set.

Unbelievable! I placed my order yesterday at about 3:15 p.m. using the free shipping option and it was just delivered 10 minutes ago. I don't think Amazon could have gotten it to me any faster.

I feel your pain, MickM. I missed out on the $60 Six Feet Under set, but I got in on this. My Get Smart set should be here on Tuesday! Quick free shipping from Amazon.

Right now I'm more pissed about missing the Complete Definitive Twilight Zone DoD at Amazon!
