Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
Lexx is a very odd duck. The closet thing I can think of is Barbarella. Pretty good review here on the site. (ugh, cant do urls. Do a search on the site - Lexx complete second season.)
For $10 its worth it IF the review sounds interesting. If it doesn't skip it.

Makes me cry over the hundreds I spent buying those years ago. Granted, mine are better releases with extras... But still...
I met Stanley Tweedle years ago and got a great picture with him! Would love to meet Xenia Seeberg (Xev #2)...

You're still better off with those four, because at least there are no edits in the four individual Koch releases. From reviews I read at the time the Echo Bridge set was released, there were some minor edits in I Worship His Shadow (I think a swear word might have gotten overdubbed, and the scene with the exposed brain might have been shortened). I think one of the other movies had some edits, too (but not Eva Habermann's nude scene, as I recall).

I noticed a Lexx Season3 & Season 4 Pack for $14.99 at Best Buy earlier this week (if someone can't wait to be a completist.... like me - but I have the original Canadian versions).

^It's also on the BB website for $14.99 with free shipping. Oddly enough, S3 & S4 are available separately for $14.99 *each*.

^It's been at the Target here for a couple of months. Of course it showed up *after* the receipt I have for S3 @ $5 expired! Means S4 is going to cost me ~$10 no matter how I purchase it... It's so annoying that I've considered purchasing the S3/S4 pack and just returning the S3 during the after Christmas "got the wrong thing and they didn't give me a receipt" return season for a store credit.

I'm sure you could return your Lexx S3 for $4 or $5 at Target using your ID. It just counts towards your yearly rolling window total of $70 + tax. It's not like other places that count the number of return occurrences rather than dollar amounts, so you could return 14 $5 items on difference occasions to Target each year without a problem.

Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
The Lexx packs (1&2, 3&4) are now on sale for $7.50 each. Picked up the whole show (blind buy) for $15 + tax yesterday. FWIW, the discs are single sided and not numbered. They all say "LEXX" and have different color artwork, but nothing indicating which season or episodes are included. The episodes are not divided evenly over the discs, so one DVD might have ten episodes crammed on it while the next has only four (in the same season). They could have avoided compression issues on a few of the discs if they had distributed the content more evenly. The case has the discs stacked on top of each other, but they were all in great shape.
BTW, I believe this was part of a larger TV on DVD sale at Target. There were quite a few seasons on sale: Arrested Development S1 for $7.50, Andy Griffith S1 for $6.99 and a two seasons of Dennis the Menace (Shout! Factory) for $12.99 each.

So when does the $7.50 for Lexx S3+S4 sale end? Is it this week or already over?

Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
Isn't is a sad statement that I can pretty much justify making that S3/S4 purchase for $7.50 but *not* for $10? Of course by the time I get to Target they'll have sold the 2 copies they have on the shelf...

Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
Same here. If I can get the S3/S4 combo pack for $7.50 or less, I'll get it and try to get rid of S3 unopened for $4. If it's any higher then I'll keep waiting. I checked 1 Target today which didn't carry it of course, and there were only 2 Targets within a 15 mile radius of that store that had them, the closest of which is 5 miles out of my way. Each of these 2 stores out of almost a dozen Targets supposedly has 2 copies each. It's yet another typical Target ultra-low inventory item. Basically if it's still there the next time I'm out that way, I'll get it, but if not oh well. Adding time and gas pushes it over the edge.

Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
Unfortunately (and as usual with most B&Ms) they wait until after my 90 day return period has passed to have the better deals (I bought around mid August). If I could I'd return S3 for the $3.99 I paid and buy S3+S4 for $7.50 even though I have no idea if I like the later seasons and S4 is worth getting. I only do it because of OCD completionist. I guess I still could do that without receipt given that I assume S3 is still worth $4 and that doesn't consume much of one's precious $70 per year.
So when does the $7.50 for Lexx S3+S4 sale end? Is it this week or already over?

Re: Target $5 tv series on dvd
I got the season 3-4 set yesterday at Target for $7.50. If I knew they were going to have a season 1-2 set for $7.50 I wouldn't have bought seasons 1 and 2 separately for $5 each a few months ago.
