That’s All Folks!

[headpiece747]

Thanks speedy as always.

Holy slap someone, Batman. Darkwing Dark and Talespin for $40 that's amazing.

[speedy1961]

They'll be very happy about that deal over at DVDTalk.

[botticus]

Hmm... Darkwing Duck and Talespin look great, but I can't see those being impossible to find for less than $20 in the future.

[Roufuss]

Hmm... Darkwing Duck and Talespin look great, but I can't see those being impossible to find for less than $20 in the future.

Sales of these DVD's will convince Disney to bring out other sets though... Gargoyles got canned because of low sales IIRC so now the rest of the series is in limbo.

I'll get Darkwing Duck definitely, couldn't care less about Talespin though.... it's too bad they didn't just make them $19.99 a piece or let you pick and choose from some older sets like Ducktales.

I guess the moral is that if you're interested in these shows having more seasons on DVD, pick them up ASAP to show Disney the fanbase is there and willing to buy them.

It will be an expensive week for me... Desperate Housewives, Arrested Development, Darkwing Duck, South Park Season 8, and I think I'll finally get Season 2 now that it's $19.99 so I can have 2 through 8.

[rupan_sansei]

Fantastic. I was expecting $30 - $35 each for Darkwing and Talespin. Now I must get to Best Buy when they open that Tuesday. The last two Disney Afternoon sets sold out quickly here since they received so few.

[gorgonzola238]

Awesome.

South Park, The Tick, Darkwing Duck and now Veronica Mars! Now I have to figure out if i'm going to get VM Season 2 tomorrow or not. Decisions Decisions.

You kick ass Speedy, thanks!

[Ma12kez]

Thanks Speedy! Looks like Talespin and Darkwing Duck for me.

[XboxHardcore.com]

Man so much stuff.... Rescue Me, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Arrested Development... damn you Best Buy!!!!!!

[speedy1961]

That's because Best Buy corporate is convinced the animation DVDs sets UNDER perform.

If it's not the Simpsons or Family Guy, they don't consider any other animated series exist.

As a result they under order or don't order and then stores are shocked if there is strong demand for a set.

I'm so there!!!!

Thanks speedy!!

[Ikohn4ever]

thats the tick animated series?

[gorgonzola238]

thats the tick animated series?

Correct. It's the first season minus one episode.

[Ikohn4ever]

Correct. It's the first season minus one episode.

any idea if that will be included on an updated version or the 2nd season?

[gorgonzola238]

Here's a link to the full dig-a-dish on the set http://tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=6266


Basically there were some rights issues with the episode. The episode in question is actually one of the funnier ones. It's the Mole Men episode where the moles come to the surface and the Mole King falls in love with Cindy Crawford.

Depending on how fast the issue is resolved, I guess it will be included with the next release.

[wolverinefactor]

Dammit. I decide to go on a fixed budget and they have to offer DarkWing and Tailspin (which I just took off my wish lsit but at that price....) and then they have the enrv to offer Charmed for 19.99 a season.... I only want the first 3 seasons.... So $100 total....... hm... This is next week right? I think I can do it...

[hiccupleftovers]

South Park: Season 1 / 2 / 3 >>>> $19.99 each


Not necessarily weak on the South Parks, but I wouldn't mind finally picking them up and hope that all the seasons up until now will be $20 like they were before.


Entourage $20 (had a hunch this one would come down again)

Veronica Mars since I can't find it at any Walmart.

And damn my wallet will ache. BB is really putting some good stuff out this week.

[AHiddenLink]

Thanks Speedy, Guaranteed The Tick, maybe some darkwing duck and tailspin, possibly some charmed....Bah, who needs money, dvd sets are far more enjoyable.

[David85]

Damn....

Kodak EasyShare 6.1 Megapixel Digital Camera // 3X Optical Zoom // 2.4” LCD screen // Model C603 >>>>> $149.99

Mine cost that much 2 years ago and was only 3.1 Megapixels and only a 1 inch screen.

[Kaijufan]

Looks like I'll be getting AD and VM.

[mcgavin27]

looks like i'll be buying south park season 8, rescue me 1 &2, seinfeld 1 &2 and 3. Damn, $110 before tax.... jeesh.

[espy605]

Any kind of coupons? Free shipping? Anything!!! This sale is too good.

Might be taking advantage of this one. I enjoyed the original, and while I'm generally wary of Disney sequels (Tarzan & Jane was an abomination), Bambi II restored some hope. Thanks speedy! Now I just have to decide between Cinderella, Bambi and Lady and the Tramp to start filling in the gaps in my collection.

[Nealocus123]

Definetly grabbing Talespin and Darkwing Duck for the sweet sweet price of $40...

But I have a question... I don't enjoy the Simpsons season 1 because they were just developing as a show and the art IMO wasn't very impressive and honestly the dialogue wasn't funny at all. Is it the same case for South Park season 1? I love the show itself, but can't remember if I had ever seen season 1 episodes. Thanks.

[kjauburn]

Newsradio is a steal at those prices. Season 1/2 has 28 episodes on it and Season 3 has 25. I always through these in at night when I am working late.

Some great prices on TV boxsets overall. As mention a few posts above if you are a fan of a show you have to jump on the series when it comes out. Studios determine the future of a series on dvd, just by the sales of season 1 lately. Of course the major shows will get more time, but there are several tv series no longer being released on DVD.

[grendel19]

Thanks Speedy.

What geniuses at marketing come up with these names... Pretty in Pink: Everything's Duckie Edition...

Do they actually think they're amusing?

If you're into the satire the show's focused on as of late, stay away - the first season had a very large emphasis on trying to be shocking and making lots of "naughty" jokes.

I'm incredibly tempted to drop $60 right now; Arrested Development's been planned for months, and it's going to be hard to pass up Darkwing Duck and Talespin. I just need to bring myself to justify it through all of the money I saved driving to campus and ordering my books online - that's $150 easy, and that's more than enough to have some fun with. ;)

[speedy1961]

If I recall correctly, Duckie was the character played by Jon Cryer.

check the hp photsmart 435 i bought 3 years ago? for $149.99

thing completely sucks but i thought it was cool at the time lol

[defiance_17]

Expensive week for me, too. Arrested Development, South Park, new Dylan, and The Wizard, if I can find it in-store. I guess it's not too outrageous, but considering the sales at DDD lately...

EDIT: I wish someone would have told me The Wizard came out this week!

[Roufuss]

You know, there is alot of series coming out this week but none of these prices are THAT amazing and DDD will probably beat them... I haven't even watched Desperate Housewives Season 1 or either of my Arrested Development Seasons.

I think I'll only get Darkwing Duck and just wait until I catch up on the seasons I already own. I've got five South Park seasons still in the wrapper, no reason to jump to season 8 so soon.

[FlamedLiquid]

Wish those prices were permanant drops on all those box sets for $20. :(

I wont get paid again till the week after. Alot of DVDs I want:

Talespin V1
Darkwing Duck V1
King of Queens S1
King of Queens S2
King of Queens S3
King of Queens S4
The Tick S1
South Park S8
TMNT Vol. 5 (not listed)


Thats probally $200 after tax. :(

Damn Best Buy, why couldnt you hold off on the $20 deals till next week!

Circuit City just ran the same deal on all those boxsets... Seinfeld keeps coming up every so often with the $19.99 boxsets, so just wait about two weeks and someone will put all these DVD's on sale again.

[tenzor]

is Seinfeld a good show? I never got a chance to watch it, but keep hearing funny and good things about it. I am really thinking of picking up Season 1 & 2 to watch first to see if I like it.

It's on numerous times a day on TBS, so watch it before you buy it. It's amusing in small doses, but I can't stand multiple episodes. It's too annoying. My fiancee has one or two fo the DVDs, which I luckily haven't had to watch too often.

Yea, I mean down here it's syndicated on two different channels twice a day, so that's 4 Seinfeld episodes Monday - Friday.

Sometimes TBS runs a block of 4 episodes as well... even if you don't have cable, they still show Seinfeld on the WB (at least here), so it's very easily accessble without the need to buy the boxset.

[trunks982]

How much is a regular priced CD costs when its not on sale?

[botticus]

Damn you, Disney, speedy, and CAG. Picked up Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Tick for $60. I need to return and rebuy Tick in a couple days with my 10% off games/music/movies coupon to save a couple dollars though.

[Roufuss]

For everyone who is curious, Darkwing Duck and Talespin show up as $19.99 a piece with $5 off each set, so it's entirely possible to buy both of them and return one (if you only wanted one) and keep the remaining one for $19.99.

[mcgavin27]

damn $117 spent today. All in all good deals though.
I got: South Park season 8
Rescue Me season 1
Rescue Me season 2
Seinfeld season 1&2
Seinfeld season 3
