DVD Box Sets you wouldn't admit to having normally, but..

[luke2177]

...you want them anyway.. here are mine:

1. Smallville - Season 1
2. Dawsons Creek - Season 1 ( :rolleyes: )
3. Smallville - Season 2

And the Box Sets I would admit to having that I want:

1. Alias - Season 1
2. Everybody Loves Raymond - Season 1
3. Seinfeld - Season 4

Anyone else?

[fugsy]

I've only got one box set thus far...and that's The OC Season 1.

There isn't much I wouldn't admit to having int he way of box sets...you can be assured as soon as I get my hands on the Tintin box set I'll be telling everyone about it :D

[Bombers_Forever]

I have the O.C Season 1. Love it.

I have Rocky and Bullwinkle Season 1 too! :p

[Mattlowry]

I have friends seasons 1-4 because they were like $20, and when u watch em all in the space of a few days they are pretty funny. Was awesome value on the summer holidays when i had nothing to do.

I own Futurama box sets 1-4 which are just sick

I own the Seinfeld box set which has seasons 1 and 2

I own family guy seasons 1-3 aswell..

None of them i am embarassed about having tho.

[celtic_pride]

I have so many DVD Box Sets I've lost count. However I've just recently bought the X-Files seasons 1 and 2.

[celtic_pride]

BTW JB-HI Fi are probably the cheapest place to get DVD Box sets at the moment. Alias seasons 1 and 2 are $33 at the moment compared to $70 - 80 elsewhere.

[fugsy]

Yeah I picked up The OC Season 1 for $27 at JB

[Jeffers]

Yep JB is pretty much the best place for box sets, heck they're probably the best place to get all DVD's.
I have unashamably Season 1 of the OC. definately worth it.
Also The Transformers box sets, i have 2 of them. series 2.1 2.2.

And finally seasons 1-5 of the Simpsons which i all got for $29.95 each. Not a bad deal.

[lozstar]

i guess the only ones i am 'embaressed' to have would be the 3 movie set of the Honey I Shrunk The Kids movies..

other than that, i have friends, sex and the city, family guy, footy box set, and the simpsons box sets.

am going to invest in the oc, and xfiles very soon. :)

[Sheeds]

I will probably cop flack, but im happy to admit that I have Home Improvement Series 1 and 2 on the way. :cool:

[red+black]

Would love to get every season of Homicide: Life On The Street.

Would also like box sets of the 80s medical series St Elsewhere, Battle Of The Planets and FrontLine.

An embarassing one: Models Inc :D

Didn't really want to start a new thread - but can anyone give me a few tips on the best places to browse/buy DVD's (including box sets) around Melbourne? I know about JB Hi-fi of course, but any other good ones around the CBD?

[dA Crow]

I find the price of boxsets in Australia to be pretty poor in comparision to oversea's . Take Andromeda Season 1 boxset as an example

From Amazon in Canada (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000DIZR6/qid=1118301681/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/701-5175171-6938766) it costs $79.99 canadian, or $83 Australia, yet at Ezydvd in Australia (http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/221837) it costs $149.95.

right here, why??

Actually I got that website off Phat, he has a truckload of DVDs i think

[jacqui9]

www.dvdpacific.com

Bloody brilliant online DVD site. I cant recommend it highly enough.

Based in the US, but postage is cheap, and delivery is very quick.

I have ordered from them bucketloads of times.

[oxx]

I have The A Team season 1 and am getting season 2 soon. Also want Different Strokes.

Please let us know what season 2 of A team is like.

I hope it's as witty and well directed as the first !

[moistie]

Nothing that I'm ashamed of...

I have the Hawthorn '89 pack- Hawks vs Geelong Rd 9, Hawks vs Essendon Preliminary Final and of course the GF on video.

I have the '71, '76, '78, '83, '86, '88, '91 Grand Finals on DVD, but still haven't been able to find the '61 Grand Final.

I have series 1-4 of the Simpsons and will be buying season 5 once I can find it cheap at JB.

I plan on buying series 1-3 of Family Guy.

[Squall]

Smallville Season 1
Smallvile Season 2
Smallville Season 3
Roswell Season 1
Roswell Season 2
The Pretender
Street Fighter II Animation Series (From the game)

The next few boxsets i might get is Tru Calling, Superman collection, lois & clark season 1 or any of the michael jordan boxsets or the bulls boxsets to do with the early 90's.

I also recommend using www.dvdpacific.com

[flamethrower]

Back To The Future Trilogy
Tremors Trilogy
Star Wars Trilogy
Indiana Jones Box Set
Alien Box Set

[Fall Out Boy]

My thoughts on a few of the online stores mentioned.

DVDPacific: Were excellent until the credit card fiasco. I will never use them again.

DVDSoon: Up and down, but still my first choice of R1 etailer. Prices are usually excellent (high atm though) and shipping is always quick.

Amazon: Amazon are the choice if you want customer service. Their prices are high and their shipping takes a while, but if you have a problem with your order they ALWAYS replace or refund without question.

[Richmondfan#1]

Is there a Wonder Years DVD box set? Because I admit, I'd really love to buy it if there is.

[FootyJunkie]

Is there a Wonder Years DVD box set? Because I admit, I'd really love to buy it if there is.

I second this. It was a great series (lasted 6 or so seasons right?, started with Kevin starting junior high, year 6, and finished with Kev after high school).

I haven't seen an episode since the 90s I think, but a few favourites come to mind.

* 1st episode, Kevin starts junior high, Winnie's brother dies

* Kevin trying to get the nerve to call Lisa Berlini the night of the moon landing, Wayne giving Kev a hard time as usual.

* Any episode with Becky Slater

* Excursion to the museum, the "Winnie is perfect" episode

* The only one where Kevin's parents get into a fight

* Kev's mum works at Kev's school

* Paul tries out for basketball

* David Shwimmer (sp?) character living with Kev's hippie sister, Kev's dad getting angry

* Kev "doing a Cupido" on his maths test

* Kev and Wayne wanting their sister's room

* Any episode with the gym teacher, especially the one where he plays Santa

* Kev's old teacher giving birth

* Kev's dad bagging the basketball team from the stands

* 2 part last episode with Kev chasing Winnie

[Richmondfan#1]

All memorable highlights. Was that maths episode the one with his teacher that passes away? That was a nice one.

And the last episodes *sigh*, were terrific. I found the last bit of dialogue from the final on the net which gave me goosebumps (corny but shh).

“Once upon a time there was a girl I knew, who lived across the street. Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way had to do with her. That day Winnie and I promised each other that no matter what, that we'd always be together. It was a promise full of passion and truth and wisdom. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young. The next day Winnie and I came home. Back to where we'd started. It was the 4th of July in that little suburban town. Somehow though, things were different. Our past was here, but our future was somewhere else. And we both knew, sooner or later, we had to go. It was the last July I ever spent in that town. The next year, after graduation, I was on my way. So was Paul. He went to Harvard, of course. Studied law. He's still allergic to everything. As for my father...well...we patched things up. Hey, we were family. For better or worse. One for all...and all for one. Karen's son was born in that September. I gotta say, I think he looks like me. Poor kid. Mom, she did well: business woman, board chairman, grandmother...cooker of mashed potatoes. The Wayner stayed on in furniture. Wood seemed to suit him. In fact he took over the factory two years later....when dad passed away. Winnie left the next summer to study art history in Paris. Still we never forgot our promise. We wrote to each other once a week for the next eight years. I was there to meet her, when she came home, with my wife and my first son, eight months old. Like I said, things never turn out exactly the way you planned. Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place...a town...a house like a lot of other houses... A yard like a lot of other yards...on a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is...after all these years, I still look back...with wonder.”

Each to their own.

I've used both Amazon and Amazon.ca at least 100 times over the past 2 years and have never had a problem with their customer service.

When i've had an issue with their packaging or lateness of delivery, they've always given me a NQA refund/re-shipment.

BTW No Wonder Years boxset, sadly. Many have campaigned for it over the years, but it just looks like one of those which is destined to never be released.
