More Amazon DVD sale goodness

[yendi]

Thanks to scottwrites for letting me know about this sale, which promises "up to 50% off" of a bunch of DVD sets, but actually lies like a dog, as plenty of sets are above that, including both The Fantastic Films of Ray Harryhousen -- Legendary Science Fiction Series and Legendary Monster Series for $26.97 each (53% off), Season 1 of Hearts Afire for $13.97 (65% off for John Ritter and Markie Post goodness!), the Lara Croft two-movie set for $8.97 (65% off, but you'd better like Angelina a lot more than you like, say, plot), Steamboy/Memories for $18.97 (53% off, making it cheaper than just getting Steamboy by itself), The Martin Scorcese Collection and The Steve McQueen Collection for $18.97 each (62% off), The Beverly Hills Cop three-pack for $9.97 (60% off), The Woody Allen 8-pack for $38.97 (61% off, and it includes over half of his better movies) and, in what may be one of their best deals ever, the first three Once Upon a Time in China movies (some of Jet Li's best work ever, and a major inspiration for many of the stunts on Xena) for $10.97 (54% off). If you like Hong Kong action at all, jump on that last one.

There are a few more nice deals scattered through the sale (the complete seven-season Star Trek: TNG for a "mere" $519.97, season 1 of Degrassi: TNG for $21.97, etc), depending on your tastes.

Oh, and although it's not a part of this sale, the Office Space Special Edition with Flair is $11.99 (40% off).

I don't want all of TNG, but I'm hoping they put out cheaper versions of individual seasons soon. The first two and last two seasons suck, but I like the middle three.

[yendi]

I'm also hoping for the cheaper sets. I'm more charitable towards the early seasons, but none of them are worth the obscene prices they've set.

[stevietee.livejournal.com]

Well, the first season, they're still working out their kinks, and I'll admit there are some good plots in the second season, but I cannot STAND Dr. Pulaski, so those episodes tank with me.

[yendi]

Ah. See, I only started watching TNG in reruns around '93 or so, and was a huge fan of Diana Muldaur from her LA Law run, so I quite liked her.

i might pick up those billy wilder sets!
(and that woody allen set!)
i'm still thinking about saving up for this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B8V97E/ref=bfl_upf/103-7840631-8324617?v=glance&n=130
but i don't know how long it will be available for.

[yendi]

You and me both! That said, I've got enough items in that collection already, and explicitly don't want some of them (have I mentioned how much I hated Gone With the Wind?), so I'm not sure how great a deal it is for me.

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

i have exactly NONE of them.
my collection of hollywood films is almost non-existance.

[yendi]

Wow! I'm almost jealous, because that would make the Warner set so much more practical.

Be warned, for whatever reason, there seems to be a delay in shipping on some of those DVDs. I ordered the Beverly Hills Cop set and Hogan's Heroes Season One set (not on sale), and the scheduled delivery date is December 28th. Why it's taking almost a month to delivery, I have no clue.

[yendi]

A month? Kind of defeats the purpose of getting stuff in early December.

Then again, I've got a Usagi Yojimbo graphic novel -- one that's in print -- that's taken over three weeks already, and still doesn't list as shipping anytime soon. I think they've got some weird supply issues.

Nice! I hope you got something good. I only picked up the Harryhausen Monsters set because I've been meaning to for a long time. Would've picked up more but that whole putting-a-down-payment-on-a-condo-thing really puts a damper on my DVD buying. :(

Nevertheless, glad you liked!

BTW, did you see the DDD sale? Both Harryhausen sets for a total of $43.
