to ship on 10 Dec ---

now - i don't know if it's region specific or not --- or any of that stuff ---

but it IS $129.55 US --- pretty steep, considering SG-1 is like $71.99 US ---

but - it's coming ----------

i've seen the e-mail cheers!

I will of course buy this box set, but theres no way I can afford it (or any dvds) til the new year, so I'll have to wait a little longer...

Highlander II · 3rd December 2001, 11:16 PM

i know that feeling, markpud! no money - no stuff -- i wanna get it, but gotta pay off huge student loan and credit card bills first -- maybe by the time i can afford it, it'll be cheaper ---- <crossing fingers>

good luck getting HL on DVD, markpud!

markpud · 4th December 2001, 08:44 PM

luck ain't a factor, the nice grant cheque on Jan 1st is the only factor

Highlander II · 4th December 2001, 10:48 PM

can you send me one of those checks too???

i could use any cash anyone wanted to send my way --

and it looks like we may not get our bonus (b/c they moved our dept for no reason that any of us could see) this year -- really stupid! argh!!!

well ---- have fun! and hope ya get HL on DVD!!

markpud · 4th December 2001, 11:01 PM

just noticed you've almost caught up my post count, thats some good going for the few short months you've been here, you're not after Asmiley's crown are ya??

Highlander II · 4th December 2001, 11:11 PM

no - not quite that ambitious - yet!

just wanted to hit a nice plateau so i could chill during the holidays -- and say that i, at least, accomplished ONE goal this year! hehe -----

Highlander II · 13th December 2001, 03:13 AM

okay -- news from the HL on DVD front --

just got that nifty postcard you get when they want you to buy more stuff --

and here is the price list:

(all prices in US $$)

$129.95

S+H --

US: 9.95
Canada: 13.95
Int'l: 37.00

so-- it's not gonna be cheap --

and i still don't understand why it's $130.00 -- OR why it take them 8 DVD's for 22 episodes -- SG-1 is only on 5; same w/ Buffy, i think --- why 8?? did they add so much to each one that they needed all that extra space??? something about that just doesn't fly ----

here's what comes w/ ---
22 episodes
1 blooper reel
1 behind-the-scenes
1 cd-rom of season one scripts

the scripts are included on the last DVD w/ the last season 1 ep and the bloopers and BTS --- i think - there might just be the cd-rom in the same box as the last DVD -- i dunno - i'm just looking at the picture ----

however - that's the news ----- wish it was better --

i'm still trying to figure out why SG-1 is $70, Buffy is $30 and HL is $130 --- what gives????? ppl will buy all three -- do they have to raise the price on the 'older' stuff?? i'm confused ---- and the PTB suck --

(btw - on the Buffy DVD's -- they're due out in Jan 2002)

markpud · 18th December 2001, 09:53 PM

jeeesh, $37 for intl shipping

I wonder if it comes on a private jet?

I also wonder if the sets will turn on on amazon or anywhere like that for a reasonable price...in the scheme of things I may have to hold off even longer on buying this set at these prices...

PS Buffy R2 disk sets are already out for Seasons 1-3
