Arrow: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray] (2014)

Any word as to why this is getting re-released already?

Dumped the DVDs?

It's complicated...maybe the first release price will drop so I can pick it up. Missed it during the lightning deal over the holiday.

It's complicated? That's not really a reason.

Amazon shows 4 discs, so it's probably the removal of the 5 DVDs.

This set has been sub $20 numerous times.

I was joking, I'll add a silly face next time. Looking for sub $15 or so. Not in a hurry to get this one.

It's definitely due to the removal of the DVDs.

I still haven't popped open my $9.99 set from Amazon yet. I'm surprised that it included the dvd's in the first place. A nice, but not expected, feature.

Just started watching a week or so ago. Pretty solid. I grabbed it at $16.99. 3Camels is saying that was the lowest this year. I must have missed the $10 deal.

This is likely WB's way of dumping the DVDs and UV digital copy from the set. It's the best action show on television at the moment and probably the best way to handle a weekly superhero series in 2014.

Yeah, I bought it when it hit $16.99 then missed the lightning deal for $10 the next day.

Speaking of those included DVDs, I see that a lot of people sell some or all of the components of these BD/DVD/digital copy combo packs. I wonder what the legalities of that are? Just bored waiting for football and curious....

I bought arrow at $16. Sold the DVDs for $16 and UV for $12 (already had it from a friend) I got the Blus for free.

I often sell all the DVDs I get with random combo sets. I'll never use them so might as well get a few dollars back.

Same here. I sell my UV codes to 1 friend, and the DVD's to another.

The UV codes may well be different, there may be terms and conditions that preclude resale. Of course you are not really selling a physical item.

But selling YOUR DVD's is definitely completely legal. The mega-corporations have not yet been able to get rid of the "right of first sale" unlike the mess they have made of copyright extensions after the death of the original author.

Yeah, I haven't opened mine yet either and had no idea it also included DVDs. Also got it for $9.99.

Not sure if it's worth starting a new thread or not, but season 2 is coming out on 9/16

Artwork looks cool though I lost interest after watching season 2

I'm still puzzled. You're like the only one out of everyone who watched Arrow who hated season 2. Seriously, care to elaborate why you hated season 2 so much? You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm surprised.

IMO and many others here it's one of the best super hero action serials on right now.

It became boring and the acting is terrible.
