What's with all of these massive studio sets lately? There was the United Artists collection, and the upcoming MGM/Fox musicals set.

Don't forget about the New Line set that came out last year. I saw that once at a Sam's and have never seen it again!

I actually just bought the new line set in the amazon marketplace new for 29.99. It is a really great set for that price. It has an exclusive documentary which I'm gonna watch tonight.

That's not a bad price for that set.

Well once you said that I went to Amazon and found another one for $30 too so I bought it. That's a damn good price. I want to see that documentary, I had forgotten about that. I own a few of the movies in that set, but I'll get rid of the ones I have for those and there are a few I haven't seen but wouldn't mind seeing, $30 ain't bad! Thanks!

I'm so glad that I looked at this topic. Like Monkees, I went over there, and found a new one for $29.99. Considering that Amazon's normal price is $246.99, that's not a bad deal at all.

I didn't post it in the bargains thread because I didn't know how many they had. I don't how this seller affords it but they shipped it to me by priority mail for the media price. If I did that at this price I'd be broke. I don't know if they do that for all of them though.

I don't see how they can afford it, either.

With that said, I'm not complaining for getting a 17 movie box set for 12% of the Amazon price...

Probably a dumb question, but how did Sony get the rights to put out "Monty Python's Meaning of Life" from Universal?

Reading my mind. Either they worked out a deal or (more likely) it's a misprint and they really meant And Now for Something Completely Different.

I think they probably worked out a deal. Still, I'm wondering if they are including the 1 disc or 2 disc version of the film.

Seeing as how it's a 6-Disc set, I'd assume the 2-Disc edition (I could see them dropping the CD if they go with the content from the Extraordinarily Deluxe Edition of Holy Grail, making that a 2-Disc set; along with the 2-Disc set of Life Of Brian).
