Like Volume 25 before it, volume 26 is on the best seller list at DVDPlanet.com, the USA's largest online video store.

OK, networks, WAKE UP!
There's a huge Dark Shadws audience out there!!!!!

Well, it's about time! Thanks for posting this.

I look forward to my copy from www.deepdiscountdvd.com.  I've bought them all from DDD and I hope they can get the special collection of the pre-Barnabas episodes after MPI makes them available to members only.

Ms. Crisey, Netflix also has volume 26 listed, coming out Sept 26, which means vol 26 before 25, but at least they are finally getting them!!

DDD just reduced the prices (or I just noticed the reduction) on their DS sets to around 36 bucks per set.  I wonder if this is just for the H'ween season or if this is the new price?  It's not being billed as one of their sales, so far as I can tell.

This is great! This is almost as low as they were selling for the last day of the fest-- $30 a pop! What a deal! And free shipping too! Let me just head over to the family mausoleum and open up that coffin with all the jewels and cash in baby!!!

I've been collecting the DS DVDs from DDD since they've been selling them.  At times, I've notices some collection boxes cheaper then others.  Regular price is usually $43 but a few are down to $35.  Occasionally DDD will put all currently stocked DVDs on sale and I've gotten some very good prices.  I'm going to wait until MPI makes the pre-Barnabas DVDs available to the public before collecting these too.

I've been thinking about joining the MPI DS DVD club for a while, though now I suppose it's pretty much useless. I've got up to....I think set 19, and their policy is buy five, get the sixth free. So I'd get the 25th set free, and then possibly one free from the Beginning Series DVDs. Do the benefits really outweigh the costs? I don't think they do, but if anyone else has an opinion please let me know. I didn't think the benefits outweighed the costs before I had nearly the complete series, because they want close to $60 for each DVD set! Yikes! Why would I do that when I can save $20 by going elsewhere? The only thing that really would interest me is the things that only members can get--like the coffin for keeping the bobbleheads in and whatever else.

They don't Brandon, wait until you can get them from someone OTHER than MPI!  Don't let them bully you into joining their club.  Amazon, Best Buy, DDD and other outlets will have the pre-B eps eventually.

Let's do the math.  At MPI, you get 5 boxes for $60 each and the 6th free.  At $60 a crack, that's $300 for 5 boxes in which you get the 6th one for free.

Using DDD as an example, all the regular priced DS boxes did cost $43.22 each. [I just looked on their website and saw ALL their previously DS Collection boxes now down to $36.73 each which is lower than I've seen in a LONG while.] The only one left that costs $43.22 is the last box, Set 26.  So at $43.22 each, 6 boxes would cost $259.32 if DDD sold "The Beginning" boxes at the same rate.  If sold at $36.73 each, 6 boxes is $220.38.  That's $40.68 - $79.62 difference...

Yes, MPI has other offers available but if one isn't interested in those other offers, one would save money looking elsewhere.  I believe the pre-Barnabas boxes will be available to the public eventually.  So I'm waiting.

Couldn't agree more dsbf.

My late cat Megan use to sit staring at a small mouse hole in the garage patiently and calmly waiting, waiting - sometimes for hours at a time.  She got what she was waiting for about 99.9% of the time.  I learned a lot from that cat.

Bully?    I'm a club member but not because I was bullied.  I felt no pressure to join, chose where my collection would begin, and am free to quit whenever I wish.

The reason I joined was, in a word, convenience.  I'm sent an email before and after the next release is shipped, it comes to my mailbox (albeit slowly), and my card is charged.

Yes, bullied.  They are blatently trying to force fans to join the club simply to be able to buy the pre-Barnabas eps, that's a plain as the nose on one's face.  If they weren't doing this, they'd be available to EVERYONE right away and not a year after the so-called CLUB members can buy them.

I think you mean that buying the DVDs when they're released requires joining MPI's club, which IS a bona fide DVD club that, to me, seems less restrictive than most.  I don't think it's such a hot marketing decision, but bullying implies intimidation, and when I hear upfront that I can purchase directly from them when they're released or wait an unknown period of time (I don't think they've said it would be a year, have they?) to buy them from someone else, I don't see any blatant force, intimidation, bullying, or coercion in that, but that's me.
