I just added it to my Christmas wishlist.

And it's eligible for Super Saver Shipping, thank goodness.

Can you imagine that shipping charge?

Now that's just silly.

Probably the same ones who buy the $10,000 zeppelin from the Nieman Marcus catalogue.

I would buy the zeppelin... if it were only a mere $10,000.

Yeah, no shit. I wish.

larphillips · 10-22-2004, 09:43 PM

Ooops... I mean $10 Million.

incubus0 · 10-22-2004, 10:37 PM

208 DVDs for $5,250.00 is still around $25.24 per disc. Not exactly a bargain, even by Criterion standards.

MrWilliamWallace · 10-22-2004, 11:23 PM

List Price: $7,500.00

As someone who started buying a ton of them for no real reason, I can promise you all that not every Criterion is worth owning... back away slowly.

I think they need to do more Director Collections... the Hitchcock and Renoir sets are awesome... how about a few more?

LeChuck · 10-23-2004, 02:12 AM

I agree with you Moogle. Just because it is criterion, doesn't mean it is worth owning. I think, with criterion's prices, it would be best to just pick and choose from their list. There is no need for every one. The one I REALLY want is The Killer. =[ The cheapest for which I have seen it sell is like 100 bucks. Makes me want to cry.

Midnight Cowboy · 10-23-2004, 11:27 PM

Yeah. Sometimes the extras blow....like when its just a whole lot of text......and, in the case of W.C. Fields DVDs, no extras at all.

Might as well buy them one at a time.

hemmel · 10-24-2004, 04:58 PM

Wow, this set is amazing! I am going to buy two, so that I can sell 1 on ebay when it goes OOP!!!!

surfingelectrode · 10-25-2004, 12:45 AM
