I can't find info on an SE of Patton. The version at TVGreats is the "Fox War Classics" version. The only other version I see at DVDPricesearch is an OOP which appears to have sported an additional documentary and the motion picture score as extras apparently not on this one.

TV Greats Not So Great
Well I had ordered The Prisoner and received the first disc to discover that one of the ears that hold the center hub of the disc inside the case had broken and the disc arrived severely scratched. I got CH to send a replacement and they sent a prepaid mailer to return the first disc. I received the replacement disc and it had either come loose inside the case or was never pushed down far enough to lock the disc on the ears that hold it in place, and it also arrived scratched. Decided to give up trying and CH is now sending a mailer to return it also. At my request they are cancelling the account and refunding my money. Hopefully they will actually refund my money. I did manage to receive Star Trek The Motion Picture as part of another TV Greats deal. I will now only join if I am able to get movies, because apparently the cases they use for the TV episodes are just so cheap it seems impossible to get them to your door in good shape.

I have some questions I can't find in the FAQ. I've also read the first two and last two pages of this thread and didn't get them answered.
Am I correct that the faq is just for the enrollment discounts?
Thats fine and all but I'm more interested in how long it takes to get the entire series? Once I sign up can I just buy all of the dvds in a certain series? Do they list them all? I can't get a list on their web site, I'm not a member yet.
Can I buy more than one copy of a title if I'm paying full boat?
Thanks

Call them up. They do have lists in their computer that show what all the discs in a series are and they can best answer the rest of your questions directly as well, I suspect.

yep...
go through any one of the number of rewards sites (i.e. mypoints.com, freedvds.com, freedvd4me.com, or any of the others...) These sites seem to all have the same signup deal, which is a "free" introductory volume plus $3.95 shipping (+tax ...which is ludicrous really since shipping / handling is a service and not a product and thereby should not be taxed... at least in my state). Hope that helps.

I just hope "WWII MOVIES ON DVD" actually gets me a Patton DVD, since I wasn't able to see any details for that club.

I dont think you can jump on this through the normal phone order operators. You might have to call the customer service line to cut the deal.

well i ordered the x-files dvd... a short time later the box arrived. i called, charged the $0.89 to my credit card and canceled the account in the same call. i then went on-line to do it again.
this time i ordered the powerpuff girls dvd. what arrived in the mail was danielle steel's kaleidoscope vhs. now wtf happened there? anyway, i called up and the gal (after much explaining) said she'd send me a sase and that they'd send me the correct selection when they've recieved the tape.
any similar problems?

For those who have ordered Star Trek The Movie collection:
I've read through the thread and tried a number of different codes (BB7L BNYL BNLL BPAL AEYL EDFL) at http://www.columbiahouse.com/repl/i2...oin/enter.html and I cannot get Star Trek The Movie collection to show up anywhere. I am looking to get Star Trek The Motion Picture Dir Cut.
What code are you using? I've done this with 4 different collections already so I know the drill, I just need the code to do the Star Trek Movie drill
EDIT: OK, after some re-reading, it looks like this is a Phone-Only collection?
BNYL Free DVD, pay shipping
Star Trek: The movie Collection - BB1
or
BB7L 89¢ with free s/h (phone & online)
Star Trek: The movie Collection - K97

I received the offer in the mail, because I had signed up for the regular DVD Club. The mailing had a promo offer code to enter on the TV Greats website, but the ST:TNG DVD didn't show up on the list, so I just mailed back a check for $4.99.
You may have luck with calling CH though, and telling them you got something in the mail.

So watch your mail if you're not into calling.
