Oh, I know. I saw it when it aired. Havent seen it since. Just holding off to build anticapation.

jjcool

I would say pretty low. But you never know. Have many older tv series made it to blue ray yet?

Has any one seen them actually at Target yet? I've gone to three of them so far, and all I've seen are the place holders for them. I'm gonna check back on Friday as I was told they get shipments in then, so we'll see I guess.

I stopped by my local Target today and found one set of season 1 for sale. Bought it, asked if they'd get any more in, was also told they'd be getting a shipment in tomorrow but they have no idea what's going to be in it.

No luck here. Employee claimed all seasons were "sold out" as they were "flying off the shelf" due to price reduction. Claims they will get more but not very helpful as to exactly when.

I wonder if the same Hoarders/Resellers from Big Lots are swooping in ?

Xiroteus

I was going there today anyway and took a look, all sold out and no sale sign or rain checks.

Haha, I bought every season, there's no shame in my game. That show is fucking hilarious and stands up today. The things they managed to get away with on that show are really shocking in retrospect.

Yeah, it was five seasons of prophecy and they just shooed everything under the rug by basically saying "Truth takes time," my ass. What a clusterfuck. Shit like that makes me giggle when people say the ending to Battlestar Galactica was the worst in sci-fi history. Never seen the ending to Alias, eh?

The fifth season certainly wasn't helped by the addition of Rachel Nichols (every episode surrounding her is a chore to sit through) and Balthazar Getty, either. Or that horrible Vaughn storyline that made no sense and seemed to have been created just because Garner & Vartan had broken up in real life.

I think the season two finale has the fight sequence you're talking about. That sequence lasted, what, ten minutes? It's incredible! And oh so violent.

There's really nothing special on that disc. A bunch of PR fluff and scans of the official magazine covers. Stuff that wasn't interesting enough to include on the season sets, but ended up being used to sucker fans into buying that horrible box set that slaughters the discs.

So, I stopped by my two local targets today and not only did they not have any in stock, but there was no indication of any sale.

I'll agree. Alias was one of the best shows on TV, at least for the first two seasons. I couldn't miss an episode of it, and even got mad at my mom for calling me during a pivotal reveal moment in the middle of Season 1. I did think Season 3 went downhill (after J.J. Abrams left to go work on Lost). Season 4 got messed up by ABC and Season 5 got ruined by Jennifer Garner being pregnant (thus making them split the season and shorten it). I bought all the seasons as they came out except for Season 5 (which I've still yet to get). When I watched Season 3, I did think better of it than I did as it aired. But my wife and I are going back and watching them, now (since she's never watched the show) and after flying through the first two seasons, we're dragging through Season 3. But I'll still look for Season 5, as eventually we're going to watch the entire show and I'll need that season. Plus after going back and watching the show, again (in hindsight from seeing the show end), I'm starting to see things that may make the problems I had with the last couple of seasons make sense. But I want to see them all again to make sure, as I haven't watched Season 5 since it aired and the other seasons since the DVDs were released.

i have season 1 and 2 and haven't seen the rest of the series.

i was so excited when i read this thread. so i went to the target next to work and all i saw were the signs with the new price reduction.

i'll need to check other targets and hope for the best.

djones6746

Well...the sale is thru the end of the month so if I cannot wait for stock to come in.....Deepdiscount has these for $16.99 and Amazon has them listed for $17.99 which are still great prices for the season sets.

temp81830

My local Target just got them in today. They had all the seasons, except I took the last of season 2. Best Buy also has them for $16.99, so that's another option.

Trevor

Are they in the Target ad? That would make them $12.59 at Best Buy with pricematch.

yellowlt4

The are not in any ad that I have seen yet. Maybe this next weeks ad.

temp81830

Best Buy and Target have been doing more and more non-advertised sales, so I'm guessing they aren't going to be in the ad, especially since this is almost a month long event.

asianxcore

Looks like some of the J.J shows are going through a Temporary Sale?

Best Buy:
Alias- $16.99
Felicity- $16.99

Target:
Alias- $12.99

Costco:
Alias- $12.99

Borders:
Alias- $14.99
Felicity- $14.99

yellowlt4

If they hit 12.99 Ill bite on Felicity. I remember really enjoying the first few seasons on TV.

Ropes Pierre

I picked up felicity at amazon for 14.99 a season a few days ago, if anyone deals with them.

I haven't had a chance to check my Target for alias, but i don't have my hopes up. They have almost never had anything marked for sale prices, or reflecting these unadvertised specials spoken about on the forums.

and when i ask associates about them, they all do that "Michael Myers Head Tilt" thing and feign confusion about how to find out, so i end up taking my dvd money elsewhere.

Razrbac77

No shame here either, buddy... and I'm 31/male. I just bought all 7 seasons through Amazon for $10.49 each.

As you said, the show really was revolutionary for its(or any)time. And hey, we all have to "get old" sometime. Now, I'll get to share it with these funny ladies.

Emma311

I went to buy Season 5 at my Target today & they're completely out. I was told that they get trucks in on Mon., Wed. & Fri.

ENDContra

Did they ever rerelease the earlier seasons to match the packaging of the latter seasons? The first two seasons were in a box with 3 keep cases, completely different than the other 3. Id probably rebuy those if they were in similiar (and smaller) cases.

dan30oly

I gave up on Target and just spent the $16.99 at Best Buy for seasons 1 & 2.

Sweet Baby James

All 5 seasons that are being sold at Costco are in new packaging. The case is a standard keepcase with all the discs contained on double-sided flaps.

logangrey

And that's the packaging that was being sold at the 2 Targets I went to this morning.
