I want this set, but cannot spend the $150 on it. $75ish was looking very nice.
Oh well.. Maybe one day.

Also, it's not really complete and some of the cartoons are edited.

It is notable, however, that the alternate 1985 strip is still omitted, and two other strips (January 7, 1987, and November 25, 1988) have altered dialogue.

The original goes:
CALVIN: Watch out, Mom. I'm in a bad mood.
MOM: Be in a bad mood somewhere else, OK? I'm busy.
CALVIN: Hmph! I'll bet my BIOLOGICAL MOTHER would've bought me a comic book and made me feel better instead of shunning me like you.
MOM: Kid, anyone but your BIOLOGICAL MOTHER would've left you to the wolves long ago.
CALVIN: Yeah right. REALLY, HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR ME?
Watterson CHANGED IT IN HIS OWN FREE WILL to read; [sic]
CALVIN: Watch out, Mom. I'm in a bad mood.
MOM: Be in a bad mood somewhere else, OK? I'm busy.
CALVIN: Hmph! I'll bet A GOOD MOTHER would've bought me a comic book and made me feel better instead of shunning me like you.
MOM: Kid, anyone but your GOOD MOTHER would've left you to the wolves long ago.
CALVIN: Yeah right. LET'S SEE YOUR TRAINING CERTIFICATE.
....He...should be able to edit ONE comic in his opus if he felt the need....

damnit. It was $67.50 30 minutes ago. I had it in my cart at work and decided to mull it over on the drive home. I guess with it up to $90(in a matter of 15 minutes) there's not much to decide anymore. 
Damn. Missed out on this and Lost: S3 on BD today. What will I narrowly miss next?

i'm not really bothered by the little discrepancies... being a perfectionist is very stressful
anyhow, even at $90, it's a good buy, i love my set with just one little complaint... The book is too freaking heavy!

I get C&H emailed to me every day and they had that link in yesterday's. I sent it to my wife and I hope she took advantage of it... I didn't realize that the sale was only good until noon PST though. Sometimes her email at work blocks if there are links... can't exactly ask her about it though, because then I would know if I got the present before xmas!
