125.99$ and Free shipping. That seems like a very fair price to me. I almost regret buying it from Shout! earlier.

I held off when it first came out - I assumed it would come out cheaper later on.... seems I was right! :-)

me too. I also just could not bear the thought of forking over cash to the mailman or delivery guy to cover the customs on top of the Shout price. I think I can manage this price much better.

As well there really isn't that much of a savings by getting them all at the same time...

Now if they decided to include the DIC episodes, then you will have my full interest. Watching DIC on youtube makes it seem far worse than it is.

I ask because I believe the TF series was around $150US and I just picked it up at Best Buy yesterday for $100CDN.
So I am hoping that the JOE set will be close to that as well.

I see Costco has the best price so far at $99.
Futureshop sold me a set also for 99$ just before Christmas. The funny is, this price wasnt even advertised, and the price tag said 129.99$. I only discovered the actual price when the clerk scanned it for me when I mentionned that bestBuy have it at 114.99$.

Got one today at HMV... $80! They marked theirs down to $99.99 and are 20% off this week. I wasn't going to, but at that price it would be rude not to.
No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!!! I opened mine already LOL. Any way I can get a pricematch from Futureshop at this point? I bought mine about 4 days ago....

The only way is to purchase one at HMV, then return it to Future Shop with your Future Shop receipt. You'll get your money back from FS that way.

For those who didn’t want to spring for the super duper fancy-pants box set a couple years ago (like me), the complete series is now available in a basic, and a bit more affordable, box set. It appears to have all the content of the footlocker box except for one disc. This set has 16 discs instead of 17. Not sure what is on that 17th disc. If anyone with the footlocker box set can let me know what that is, that would be great.
Anyone know the cheapest place to get it? The cheapest I’m seeing it is for $59.99 at futureshop, though I swore I saw it in store for $54.99 a couple weeks ago. I didn’t get it since it caught me by surprise and now I’m wondering if I am misremembering on the price. I’m thinking Costco might get it, since they had the footlocker set and the no frills Transformers set when they came out. Anyone see it there yet?
Either way it is out there now and the price is a little more palatable.
