Hey,

I was looking where to buy Season 1 of the Lost TV series (R1)

Checked out a few stores:

$43.69 @ Pacific (without shipping)
$38.98 @ Amazon.com (without shipping)
£30.99 @ Movietyme (with shipping)
£34.99 @ CD-WOW (including shipping)
£34.99 @ Loaded 247

Movietyme seem the cheapest, what do you think?

Its obviosu really Movietyme as they are the cheapest and wont get stung by customs apparently. I got mine there for 29.99

Fair enough, I'll give them a go then

Or you could wait for sales

I thought now was supposed to be the sales?

(ie new year).

Is it the first series which has the Korean couple?

I hear this is tops and would like to get it but I won't pay more than £25. Any idea which sales and when?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Jan 2006, 09:37

Yes thats right, it has the Korean couple with one of the actresses from Shiri in it.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 07 Jan 2006, 13:58

It wont even aprear in sales I dont think

it may in america but even than it ownt go below 18 quid so customs will add onto that. The UK ones may go on sale, but even then it will still cost a load as they split the season in 2!!!!!! morons! basically its worth a lot mopre than 30 quid thats for sure, its THE best show on TV and best I can remember even being on TV.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jan 2006, 20:29

Better than 24?

Huh you said less than 24 hours that Grim should wait for the sales???

Bastards I hate when they split series up. I'll wait for the re-release WHOLE series box set then, that's bound to come at some point. If memory serves me right each episode of Friends has has THREE releases (DVD with 3 episodes on, part series and full series box sets).

Holey shit is that the lead from Shiri?

I saw her on TV for a show about Lost and she sounded American, speaking fluent English.

There are various legit looking Season1 R1 Box sets for £25 at eBay based in the UK + various bootleg looking ones based in the UK.

france has released the whole series in one go. there's a seller on amazon.fr selling it for just over £27 but then you'd have postage on top.

UK will never get a full season set, ever. I was joking about the sales

and yes even better than the mighty 24, which is staggering in itself. You never know I havent seen season 4 of 24 yet, that may blow it away

but really they are both the best shows you can watch and you cannot stop watching once you start.

Personally I would glady pay a lot more than 30 pound for Lost, hell I paid about 80 quid for the 1st season of The X Files!

You often say things like that which turn out to be false. You've no idea really now do you. Forever is a long time. I can see a full season set in a couple of years/a year.

You wait for the box sets right?

I've not seen any 24, Lost, CSI etc . . . I don't have time to sit down to a TV Series.

It's better than X-Files though? That was good but no keeper IMO.

I'm watching S3 of 24 (on TV) which is very good

As I said the UK will never get a full set, look at the company behind the set and you will see that its obvious as they have never done it before and no I rarley get anything false, if ever. I am right pretty much all the time.

And Romero's head grows even bigger.

Who're the company behind it? Fair enough then if that's so.

romero,

If you get it right pretty much all the time, you wouldn't have kept buying from dvdsoon and got conned out of a small fortune.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Jan 2006, 17:34

And Romero is busted yet again!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Jan 2006, 18:02

Not at all, I knew dvdsoon was going bust and asked for a refund way before they went bust, but the cash didnt come

then they pissed eveyopne about. No one on the planet could have done anything about them.

and no my head isnt big at all, I just know when I am right and wrong.

How come I worked out they were scumbags long before they started really ripping people off and stopped buying from them then?

brooce-leroy · Post by **brooce-leroy** » 08 Jan 2006, 21:19

me too.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Jan 2006, 13:20

According to this link, there is a full UK set at CD-WOW set for release on 16 Jan:

And Romero is busted

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Jan 2006, 13:48

You forgot:

AGAIN

, this is fun!

It could be CD WOW are selling both together for £43.99, they've done this before. That said the cover art says "The comlete first season".

p.s - Should I rename the title of the thread to? -

The busted Romero thread!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 09 Jan 2006, 13:53

The R1 still works out a lot cheaper at £30-ish though. Interesting that the UK set is an 8 disc set, the US set is 7?
