Fraggle Rock Complete Series for $58

Right now Amazon is selling the Fraggle Rock DVD complete series set for only 58.99. I finally caved and ordered one for myself. Remember to order through the MuppetCentral webstore and you can support MC without spending any extra. :

I thought about ordering it but the reviews on the lousy packaging turn me off. I'm holding out hope that they'll still release season 4 independently.

Even at $60 that's more then I want to spend.

Hm .... now I'm wembling ... that's an awfully good price ... even for a substandard set. And yet, there's the principle of the thing. But there were some vids I wanted to do with season 4 clips.

AARGH!


EDIT: Okay, I finally "caved".

Yeah i saw that yesterday too on an ad here in the forums.

I think i will order it because in germany you will only get season 1 with bad picture quality for the same price. The only bad thing is the german series were a little different to the US ones :/.

Oh for all ppl that look for fraggle season 4 try www.ezydvd.com.au they also have the animated series.

Yeah, I put this on my birthday wishlist even though I told myself I'd never buy it :/ Hope it stays at that price long enough for someone to get it for me XD

I told myself I'd never buy it either, particularly after all the bad reviews (now, I can live with no character images and such ... it was the scratched disc thing that really irritated me). But 58 bucks is a steal, since I'd probably pay that amount for just the last season, if it ever came out.

AWESOME! A steal indeed, I wonder why with the big price cut? Hmm. Oh well! Their loss is my great gain.

I hadn't planned on picking up this set either, but now I can sell the first 3 seasons on eBay for at least $20 each, and the whole set will be paid for! YAY!

Oh a little update on the ezydvd link i postet.
It seems the biggest australian onlinestore has money problems and is near bankruptcy. There website isnt up atm. You might try find some other onlinestore over there for fraggle season 4.

Last time i checked the fraggle season there they went for around 20-30 Au$.

Isn't it really Henson that's letting it expire? It seems as if they want to move on, not HIT. HIT's poor treatment of Henson's properties the last year or so may be exactly why.

I would think Henson would want to give their cornerstone franchise a proper sendoff with a distributor who cares...

I'm inclined to agree with this. It appears they might have more options out there and want to regroup for a Fraggle push when the film comes out. Hit doesn't deserve the spoils for that at this point. I'm sure the other Henson properties will also get a good amount of attention too. For some reason I think there's some interest in repackaging Emmet Otter next Christmas to coincide with the revival of the new musical. I was surprised that wasn't done last time out.

Wow, I ordered this set on Thursday night, and just got it about 2 hours ago! I even chose the free shipping that said it may take a few days longer.

Beautiful packaging, kinda weird how it all comes apart tho, ha. About half the discs were loose from their pockets, but no visible scratches. I will probably be listing Seasons 1 - 3 on eBay tomorrow, barely watched S1 and about half of S2, so they're pretty close to mint.

Can't wait to get time to watch these again! I'm also happy to say I used the MC link, so Yay!

That's great that there's no visible scratches, hope it works out! Not to be annoying, hehe, but I'm still amazed that none of my disks were loose, very surprising!

And I don't really understand the logic of making it binder where you can remove certain pages.

Y sell the old sets? dont they have the gifts inside? I know 1 n 2 do, however i still havn't finished 2 so i havn't opened my 3rd yet...

Or are you planning on selling the DVDs without the pack-ins? In that case selling them for $20 each as Amazon is doing the same, new... its not really fair and you may have a harder time selling them.

::shrugs:: I donated the sets but kept the booklets. I mainly wanted the kids to see the episodes, and figured the booklets wouldn't last very long!

I intend to donate as well. I keep my DVD's, for space reasons, in those CD box things that can hold like 50 or something. I get rid of the packaging.

Good for you! If enough people do eventually get to do that, more kids might get to see the show.
