The Complete TV Series for DVD and Blu-Ray Thread (New series Added to OP)

maxpower0965 · Apr 23, 2013

I want to make this thread because if anyone is like me, and if I like a show I must have the complete series to watch when ever I want. Except I don't want to pay to much for a complete series that's why I'm making this thread to help everyone find good deals on complete series.

When you add a new series to the OP, PLEASE put series being added in alphabetical order.
When editing the prices in the OP use examples bellow to show the change in price.

Price Increase +
Price Drop -
Same Price *
New Additions *

Dinosaurs: The Complete First And Second Seasons $20.96 *
Dinosaurs: The Complete Third And Fourth Seasons $22.96 *
Seinfeld: The Complete First and Second Seasons $9.68 *

Great thread, OP!! Best Buy usually has the Gilligan's Island series for $15-25. I've bought it from there twice now.

DNukem170 · Apr 23, 2013

I dunno if anime should be in the thread as with the exceptions of long runners like Dragonball Z, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, etc. most of the sets being released are complete series.

Squarehard · Apr 23, 2013

Vampire Knight Complete Series isn't actually the complete series, but that's only season one.

Season two is actually called Vampire Knight Guilty, so that listing for the complete series is just for the first season.

There is no complete series release for it yet, so just the two separate seasons right now.

True. I'll take them off.

maxpower0965 · Apr 24, 2013

If anybody finds complete series to add to this thread that I have not posted, by all means post.

Since prices on series often change, I'll try to keep the prices updated and add others too.

Be careful, it's a manufacture-on-demand title, which uses DVD-R's.

Grounded for Life is worth that price easily, wish that show never got cancelled

Police Squad! The Complete Series $10.99. Funny show with the late great Leslie Nielsen

Saved by the Bell Complete Series $29.99

Invasion The Complete Series $13.20

Olengie · Apr 27, 2013

You could've edited the first post with the recent additions. You could also wikify it so others can update it with more complete series. I think that it would help more.

Otherwise, this is a really good idea.

Vulgarism · Apr 27, 2013

Carmen Sandiego for a whopping $5.99

I've seen it drop to $5.49, so maybe watch it for a bit first.

AirMcLaren · Apr 28, 2013

I wish they would re-release Seinfeld in Blu. One of my favorite shows. Ever. Don't think anything will top it in the future either. Call me high maintenance, but I just can't pull the trigger on the complete series if it's in DVD. I know DVD vs Blu wouldn't make any difference in a sit-com, especially from that era. It's not like there are special effects or anything like that. But I just can't do it. I can't.

KageAlchemist · Apr 28, 2013

I'm waiting impatiently for Seinfeld on blu-ray also. Last year I caved in and purchased the complete set on DVD for $99. I have already watched it once and plan on re-watching it again soon. Seinfeld is one of those shows I can easily watch the entire series every couple years. It's that good to me.

FlamedLiquid · Apr 28, 2013

I updated the OP with the other complete series that were posted yesterday. OP can now be edited by others. Also updated all prices, and added a few other complete series too.

humancondition · Apr 28, 2013

This is great. Pre-ordered Beetlejuice

AirMcLaren · Apr 28, 2013

30 Rock is another show I would like to see on Blu. Google research has told me there are no plans for that, however.

This thread is a nice idea, but can we give the list a bit of organization? I would love to see someone (with much more patience than I) to organize these by genre and put in alphabetical order. I think those two would make the OP infinitely more-readable, amiright?

Maybe I can find the time a bit later to at least alphabetize if no one gets to it.

I looked over the Real Ghostbusters complete set and unless I'm looking at the picture of the volume sets in the firehouse box wrong, it looks like each volume is in a steelbook case.

Yep they are, or at least they used to. I think they might have switched over to plastic cases (w/ slips I believe) now. I'm not sure if you'd get the Steelbooks if you ordered directly from Tme Life though, I just know some reviews on Amazon mentioned getting the plastic cases instead.

That seems kinda nasty.

I got G Gundam complete like that. It's okay but it just felt wrong. I would really be buying these for my kids and having them in any odd format would just ruin it (IMO).

maxpower0965 · Apr 30, 2013

Edited OP. Placed all series in alphabetical order and updated all prices.

Quick question does anybody want the titles listed in alphabetical order and by genre or is alphabetical order fine?

KageAlchemist · Apr 30, 2013

I personally prefer alphabetical order only. I honestly hate when titles are organized by genre (looking at you Best Buy) because sometimes titles have multiple genres and then they can be difficult to locate. I also hate how they combined the DVDs and Blu-rays but that is besides the point..

Good job though! I love this thread.

note:

i just watched invasion cause it was 13.10 and well aliens...im not sure its worth that price. of course if you want to watch a show to laugh at its endless plotholes and pure randomness and to hear "IM A PREGNANT WOMAN" or some variation of that blurted out in conversation every 5 minutes(really its amazing this is worked into nearly every conversation i swear the writers took bets on who could work it in the most in each episode)...well the show has entertainment value in the its so bad its laughable regard.

good thread idea OP.

Did what you suggested and also added a few more dvd and blu-ray series to op

maxpower0965 · May 9, 2013

Sorry for double posting couldnt edit op on my phone.

But anyways I added Batman: The Animated Series. This is the cheapest I could find for each individual series. For vol. 1 & 4 you can get both for $40 with Freeshipping. And vol 1 & 2 you can pick up in store.

I'll add these to op when I get home.

If anyone buys vol 1 & 4 together you can use coupon "WBAFSAVE10" takes $10off. Needs to $50 before tax for coupon to work.

I got vol 1&4 and the movie ant bully for $41 after coupon.

Batman: The Animated Series Vol. 1 $17.99

Batman The Animated Series - Volume 2 $22.49

Batman: The Animated Series - Volume 3 $16.99

Batman: The Animated Series: Vol 4 $22.39

SangesTheLurker · May 10, 2013

I really wish the WB would put some effort in and re-release Batman the Animated Series (the boxed set) on blu.

I kick myself everytime I think about how I walked away from the DVD version for $80 marked down at Target a few years back.

Ah well, "if wishes were fishes..." right?

Holy shit, seeing you post about BTAS made me look up the set on Amazon. Cheapest price is $240 (used). I bought the set 5 years ago or so for $90 on Amazon. I might consider selling it and buying the individual sets.. but when you factor in Amazon's cut and probably spending $100 shipped for the individual releases, I dunno if it's worth it. It really is the greatest animated show ever and the complete box set is pretty sweet...

don't mind me. Just talking to myself now.

cbulas1 · May 10, 2013

Add me to the group of people who seriously regret not getting the complete series boxed set when it was out and affordable. I remember seeing it on sale for $76 new one time, but didn't bite. I think I might've even had it in my cart...

Don't forget, too that just because something's listed at a ludicrous price isn't directly indicative that anyone is willing to pay that much. Always something to keep in mind when looking at Amazon's third-party market.

I take the Completed listings on eBay as a much more realistic idea of what Joe Public is actually looking to spend--which isn't without saying that there are handfuls of people out there who only purchase through Amazon however (as silly as that is). Looks like they're having difficulty consistently selling for even $100 if you notice all the red "did not sell" listings.
