Need help replacing some titles...

Well, I just returned from an otherwise excellent trip to New Orleans where my suitcase came off the plane with the zipper open. All clothes were there, of course, HOWEVER...I'd taken about 10-12 DVDs with me, which were in a convenient-to-take case, and, well, they were conveniently taken. Along with an electric razor and my iPod charger, but those are for another shopping network.

Most unfortunately for me, the majority of what was taken...and the airline, the otherwise terrific Jet Blue, has said we're basically out of luck...came from box sets, naturally. Most are replaceable individually, but there are a couple that will be most difficult to obtain a single disc. Anyway, if anyone has these discs available for sale, please let me know. I grabbed everything right before we left, so I may have forgotten some and will add them later.

The Prisoner Vol. 5 (Schizoid man) & 6 (Many Happy Returns; It's Your
Funeral)
Seinfeld S4; Discs 1 & 2
Dinner at Eight (From the Classic comedy collection...available separately at least) PENDING
The Narrow Margin (From the 2nd Noir collection...also available separately)
Leopard Man/Ghost Ship (From Val Lewton Collection...separate availability as well)
The Twilight Zone: Definitive Edition S4, disc 4 (This one hurts...I know it'll be impossible to replace individually...had to try)
The Blind Dead Collection: Return of the Evil Dead (another tough one...not sold individually as far as I know...perhaps someone doesn't like this one and would part with it) PENDING
Blackadder the Third (I HAD a plan so devious I could have put a tail on it and called it a weasel)
Sin City (1st release) PENDING

Obviously, I will take discs only as well as full packages if you have them, as long as they are in playable shape. Shoot me emails with any offers. I can do PayPal.

Thanks!
Phil

Sorry to hear about what happened, Phil. Although I don't have the means to help you out now, good luck with finding your replacements! I hope it doesn't turn out bed. I'd hate to associate bad times with New Orleans. (Been there myself once, and have been fixin' to go back ever since. Almost did, though. Had hotel reservations before anyone knew about Katrina, and for obvious reasons wasn't able to make it.)

Mambomike,

Sounds good. I will take Dinner at Eight & Sin City for $21 shipped. Let me know if you have Narrow Margin as well. Do you take PayPal? If so, let me know your address. Thanks!


Thanks for the empathy, William. We LOVED New Orleans, btw. Even taking into account the rebuilding process, it's a great city.

Thanks everyone...
Phil

I was worried about the discs I picked up in California just before I flew back from my vacation. I had no room in my carry-on so I put them in my checked bag.

I was worried since not only was my luggage inspected, but my bag sat in the airport an additional day since I gave up my seat for Delta dollars. Fortunately they were not lifted by the baggage handlers.

I have a brand new Seinfeld S4 I am selling/trading on my thread.
Let me know if you are interested or have something on my want list that you'd like to trade for it.

Thanks and good luck.

I was going to suggest Northamericandvd.com, but it appears they're gone. I'm pretty sure I remember them having a ton of individual discs from box sets for sale. Wish I had better news...

This will probably only work for Seinfeld, but you can always check your local Blockbusters and Hollywood video to see if they're selling the individual discs for each season.

I know I've seen them for Sopranos and other shows before. They might have it for the Seinfeld and Twilight Zone (probably a longshot for the TZ), but it's worth a shot to check it out.
