Not weird... normal. Amazon has a "fulfilled by Amazon" offer on the main page (from a MP vendor) but *their* price is burried in the "xx new from $xx" section. Many times the MP fulfilled by Amazon offer presented on the main product offering page is higher than the Amazon price, as with this one. It appears to be due to Amazon not having a product in stock so they'll offer one that ships immediately (or sooner than they could) rather than show an OOS status but it doesn't *always* happen that way. It's becoming a regular, and annoying, occurrence.

Re: Rat Patrol 9.99

Loved this show when I was a kid, but it doesn't really hold up all that well now. Still good for nostalgia though and an incredible price for two complete seasons.

Actually I think it was the other way around. Amazon PM'd BB. But this has free shipping at BBY.com and use RZ's

I too watched this show as a kid BUT definately feel it would hold up just fine today...no offense. Mindless entertaiment and plenty of action! This is just the kind of stuff I grew up with watching and enjoying with my dad as a young one and look forward to re-living it as I NEVER see this in syndication on TV anywhere! THANKS OP!, as I ordered one for 9.99 with free 2 day shipping as an Amazon Prime member! Do not mind waiting a few days for shipment! Now if they would just bring the price down on Combat CS I would be really happy.

Re: Rat Patrol 9.99

Well, get back to me once you've rewatched it with as much objectivetivity as you can muster. I stand by my statement that it's good nostalgic entertainment, but beyond that I haven't found much there to recommend it. This is not to say I haven't enjoyed it, I'm just finishing up the first season, but I would not unequivocally recommend it to someone who has no sentimental attachment to it. This is nowhere near the quality of something like COMBAT, but it is as you say mindless action and has some worth therein.

I see several titles that are on one of those curved 4 sided dvd racks at walmart, like CHiPs S1, Full House: The Complete Eighth Season...of course the rack was almost completely empty(just full on the narrow end displays) seeing a lot of this at target too, amazed vendors can't seem to supply these stores with inventory....

Buy it for 9.99 and then sell it back to amazon for over $12 in credit
