But they were limited editions. Not many were produced.

I knew the Buffy one would have to be limited, due to the autographed letter... but I figured it'd be around for about a year, not a few months.

Meh, so they can re-release the things yet again, as something "new"...and a lot cheaper than the "collectors edition". This will get the people who didn't buy the expensive sets first time round to dip this time.

We're on about our third of fourth round of Buffy and Angel in the UK. Sigh. Shame, as both bored me rigid, I'd rather Fox released something new to DVD (and interesting).

Recently? I went to two Costcos last weekend, looking for it, and no dice.

I didn't bother with Best Buy, cuz I knew it would be more than I'm willing to pay, but Costco had it for $149... wish I'd bought it when I had the chance.

That's a damn shame... every time I've seen an ad for it, they've never said it was a photocopied autograph. Even the box itself says "signed letter to fans." That's a rather important distinction to leave out.

3rd or 4th? What else have you had? As far as I know, all we've seen in the states are the 7 individual seasons and now the Chosen One collection for Buffy, and the 5 indiviual season releases for Angel.

Unless, of course, you're referring to something outside of season collections.
