Best Single Issue Twilight Zone DVDs?

Now that Amazon is blowing out The Twilight Zone discs for $4.99, I'm thinking about picking up a three or four of these individual discs. Any recommendations for some of the more outstanding discs?

By the way, I recently bought Volume 2 which has "Time Enough at Last", "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", and "The Odyssey of Flight 33".

Exactly how many volumes are there? If I was to buy every volume at $4.99, would I be saving money compared to buying every box set at Amazon's price?

Amazingly, there's 43 volumes. New sets will be released soon, so this is a good time to cherry pick from the better episodes. Any suggestions?

43 x $4.99 = $214.57

74.99+74.99+79.99+89.99+79.99= $399.95

So, it is (temporarily) cheaper to buy the 43 volumes, but very inconvenient.

It depends on how much of a difference there is in quality. The new box sets have brand new HD transfers.

You have to admit it's really rather silly that they're sporting new HD transfers for this series. The older discs themselves didn't use up all of the disc space sure, but it's all in black and white and the sound was mono pretty much for this series.

The first 4 are all great with great episodes - I think they front loaded them.
