Okay, I went back and re-read the discussion on Cameron's Hitchcock set. In that case, two of the discs were released prior to the release of the set, which is why I didn't allow it.

In the case of the Die Hard box, the discs came out the same day.

So once again I'm reversing myself and allowing the "Die Hard."

Now everything is official.
so what is the reasoning on the gangster set since they are all available individually and released the same day...

That's one of three sets that don't necessarily break the rules but I personally felt uneasy about having in the competition. Rather than trying to figure out complicated "exceptions" for them, I just added a new rule where I "banned" those particular titles.

So is the Ultimate Die Hard Collection good or no?

Groucho - did you receive my email question about mini-series?

Ultimate Die Hard Collection = good

Mini-series = TV (I replied to your email, it must have gotten lost in the void)

Well, folks...Labor Day Weekend is coming up which means I'll be updating this thread infrequently (if at all). Round 6 will begin Tuesday, September 6 at 9am Pacific. See you then!

Yes, I need to look at my depth chart as well. And by that I mean continue to make picks at random based on what seems like a good idea at the time and on what's still available.

Well, I mentioned I was done once before and came back, but this time I should really give up my slot. I'm leaving Tuesday for out of town and won't have access to a computer until the next Saturday. I imagine I'll miss a few rounds in those 5 days. So, if anyone wants my current picks, go ahead and take them and have my spot. I'm not going to make a round 5 pick so that whomever takes my spot will have that option.

Good Luck all.
