Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
The Target in Brandywine MD had one of each and they were not marked. I scanned them and they were $12.99 each so I picked up S3-S5. My collection of Alias is now complete.

Struck out at the Target in Glen Mills and Wilmington DE. They were cleaned out big time, but the sale is supposedly until the end of the month.

Damn. I just picked up all 5 at Target and 2-5 were in the new packaging but season 1 was still the big box. I haven't opened it yet, so I guess I'll be heading back to Target to see if they get the new packaging.

These are $15 at buy.com now, so with no tax and bing, it ends up being about the same. Need to order 2 to get free shipping though.

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
Can someone possibly post a picture of the inner packaging? I read something somewhere else that sounded like it was the spindle stack style case...standard keep case, but you open it and theres 6 discs stacked on top of each other, like a DVD-R cake box. Really not a fan if thats the case...just want to make sure I know what Im getting.

Empty shelves. No Alias (wasn't going to buy anyways.. already have the set) and no Golden Girls. Couldn't get a rain check either.

I couldn't help myself and bought all 5 season of Alias and all 7 seasons of Golden Girls. This target had about 1 of each season of both series. The person working there said that no more had arrived on the truck. All of the Alias seasons were in the new cases.

Thanks for mentioning this. I went ahead and ordered seasons 2 - 5 from them using the bing cashback program. $60 total, got $6 cashback. Slightly more than it woulda been at Target but I was fed up dealing with their constant lack of stock.

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
I bought the first two seasons only and yesterday I watched the first disc of S1. I missed watching Alias when it first came out and I have never seen one episode. I was waiting for it to come on dvd. I didn't want to start watching it in the middle of the season, so I waited. All I had time for was to watch the first 3 episodes and from that, I went back to Target and bought the other 3 seasons. That's how great a show this is..

oh just as a warning to you (and everyone really), for the first disc of season 2, there are previews (you can skip them), one of those previews has a commercial for Alias season 3, and it gives away anything and everything in regards to season 2 ( including the ENDING of season 2 so be sure to hit the menu button, and not watch the previews

Half tempted just because i want the new cases, but i think if i were to "rebuy" alias, i'd get the collectors set, as its on of my all time favorite shows.

Harrisburg, PA (Rt. 22) Target has at least one copy of each season left, if anybody in that area is still searching. Definitely worth a blind buy.

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
I think it is really strange that most of the stores are getting only one copy of each season. My Target didn't have anything on Tuesday, then today I found one copy of each season of Alias and one copy of each season of Golden Girls (except one - someone must have bought it). I don't think people have been buying all of the stock except for one copy of each season. I snagged first three seasons of Alias (blind buy).

I really don't see what the point of "Hey, look these DVDs are on sale for $12.99 all month, but we're only going to put one copy of each one a week."
Makes me not want to shop at Target...

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
SCORE!! After picking up my weekly books at www.amazingstoriesnj.com, I took an out of the way route home so I would pass a TARGET I am never near. They had two copies of each season of ALIAS so I picked up 1-5 for myself. $64.95 plus tax. So they still have a full set as of 6 PM Thursday night and plenty of GOLDEN GIRLS. And they had DVD trolleys out for restocking but I did not look to see what was on them (my bad). Strangely, the ALIAS sets are marked $19.99 but at the Price Scan thingy, they ring up as $12.99.
They also put out the shelf-talker displays aimed towards college students w/ season sets of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, HIMYM, ANGEL, BUFFY, etc. but I forget the prices but they were loaded with them. This was all at the MIDDLETOWN, NJ TARGET right after HOLMDEL on ROUTE 35. I have so much friggin' TV on DVD to watch--I'm very psyched! ALIAS S1-5, LOST S1-2, EUREKA S1-3, CRIME STORY S1-2 (80's MICHAEL MANN SHOW), THE MIDDLEMAN, THE IT CROWD S1 & S2, etc. (All of my DeepDiscount Orders arrived in a huge wave this week).
Anyway, it took me 4 TARGET's to find all 5 seasons of ALIAS in stock but I would also check out COSTCO. They supposedly are loaded up with slim-cases. Going to COSTCO was my original intent but I figured since the TARGET was first on the way home, I would give it a shot. My advice is to find a TARGET that is not a high-volume store. The one in my town is jammed every day of the week and I constantly have to get rainchecks. Anyway good luck to all and I hope you strike gold. The sale goes until the end of the month!

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
Both of my local Targets had everything (with absolutely no signage advertising the sale) except for Golden Girls Season 6 which was curiously out of stock at both locations. I ended up buying 11 sets. Eeek!

Tempted to get Golden Girls last night, but I don't how much enjoyment I'll get out of it. I vaguely remember the show as a group of old ladies gabbing in the same kitchen scene over and over.
I did see a two pack of I Love Lucy S1 and S2 for $19.99. Great deal!

Re: Alias Season Sets $12.99 each at Target
Mine was completely wiped clean of these except for the two final seasons of The Golden Girls.
Luckily these were the two seasons I needed to buy to complete that series.
Hopefully they'll have Alias in stock by the end of the month.
