GI Joe Complete Series on DVD
« on: October 08, 2009, 05:14:59 PM »

Amazon.ca has the complete series up for pre-order.

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

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.

I was thinking about getting this and the Transformer one when they were first announced.. but since then I've decided that I would perfer to pick up the seasons 1 by 1, as I like the packaging / artwork on the cases a lot better.

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

You know about 3 year ago I would have been excited. Now that I've seen some of the dvds and episodes on teletoon I find that it just doesn't recreate the magic. I think I'd rather save my money and go buy the old marvel comics which I never really read as a kid and find awesome right now. I had the same problem with Transformers, but not with He-Man or The Visionaries.

I am with B.  This isn't a must have.

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.

What was the original price point from SHOUT?

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.

Speak of the Transformers set, I have the entire Rhino set. Does the Shout Factory Transformers have anything that the Rhino set didn't have? I don't recall seeing all those "Head Masters" series that came out after the movie.

So we have the choice between:

Amazon.ca: $125.99 (CAD) including free shipping.

OR

Shout factory: $145.00 (USD) + extra S&H for Canadians + Duty fees

I don't know how, but I made my choice without using an Excel spreadsheet ::)

Looks like the retail pricing may be realistic after all.

Best Buy flyer shows it for $114.99.
