X-Files Mythology box sets...

Does anyone know if all of these new X-Files collections will have all the episodes from every season?
The latest "Abduction" set has 16 episodes from the 1st 3 season's... But will the remainder episodes show up in future "Mythology" set's!?!
That's what I'm trying to figure out... I just can't justify purchasing the previous box sets for $120 to $130 Canadian... eBay is no help either... After the conversion rate and shipping, I might save a "Few" pennies!

My understanding is that they will not. These mythology sets are basically "lite" sets of the seasons. If you still want all the episodes you are going to have to buy the normal sets.

Basically read the first paragraph here...

I think the term "mythology" is being misunderstood here: these box sets are an attempt to collect those episodes that connect the dots with regards to the abduction of Mulder's sister, the black goo--anything that was an ongoing plotline within the series. Episodes like "Home" or "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", however great, are tangential to the central conspiracy arc. So, obviously, no, these "Mythology" box sets will not collect every episode of the series, but if they sell well, it's conceivable that Fox will package similar collections of off-continuity or "standalone" episodes.

There are only going to be 4 Mythology sets total covering only 60 episodes from the show's total run of 201 episodes.

Best Buy has the season sets on sale for $49.99 until July 4th. I'm not sure if Future Shop (BB's Canadian store?) has the same promotion, but it's worth a shot.
