  • I’m seriously tempted by this, but it’s a big price tag, especially since I already own copies of several of them.

    It’s actually a really good price on

  • Argh, I managed to hit tab by accident, and then space, which submitted the comment early. Reminder to self: Wait until I’m done to fill out the CAPTCHA.

    Anyway, I was starting to say it’s actually a really good price on a per-movie basis, but it’s a lot to drop all at once.

  • I agree, and I think it’s not likely that someone interested in this set wouldn’t have at least a couple of the movies already. Still, very desirable for the nice package and book.
