Ordered! Keep in mind the DVD side is still PAL.

Wonder if I should get 2 of them at that price...hmmm....

Wow. That price is insane.

It doesn't matter if you like Star Trek or not. You'd better start liking it for a 10-disc set @ under $30.

Never seen an episode in my life but I grabbed it at that price. Amazing. Sucks I just order Sweeny Todd BD Import from them earlier today and didn't notice that...grr.

This better not arrive all smashed up. Its very sensative packaging.

Don't get your hopes up.

My first set from Canada was certainly tenderized. And my replacement set couldn't manage to escape damage either.

Amazon FR/DE/UK scares me. They ship their media in these flimsy cardboard boxes that really can't even be called boxes. They basically fold around whatever is being shipped and are then taped shut.

The last Amazon UK order I placed looked like it went through a wood chipper.

Ugh. Well, guess we'll see.

I now own all HD DVD boxsets (including Jack Ryan) with the exception of that Discovery Channel boxset thing. Almost...

I seriously have a problem. Between this,DD's latest sale, inetvideo's ongoing firesale....I just keep buying these things. I went ahead and ordered this. My dad (frame of reference, he's 46, I'm 23) loves the series and thinks I will too. I've seen a few episodes, its not bad, but for $3 bucks a disc, how can I say no? Plus, if i change my mind by the time it gets here, I can't imagine I'll have trouble unloading it in the forums.

centuri, yeah, i remember when you and I both ordered Planet Earth from Amazon.uk and yours came in all wrecked. Mine came accross the pond without issue.... lets just hope this (and its godawful packaging) comes over alright

thanks again op

no sir, that was a previous deal that happened to be from the same retailer (over 2 weeks ago i might add). This is a new (amazing even) deal that warrants its own thread.

A big thank you to the OP. I just ordered a set. I bet these will be sold out by morning.

I am not a huge fan of the original series but for this big package for $30 I will be!

Now I need time to watch all of my HD's.

Thanks again!

Kevin
