I had thought about posting this, too, Taeylor ... DeepDiscount has these 40 percent off sales two or maybe three times a year. But the sets are still pretty expensive even then. This is a good opportunity if you want to give someone your Christmas wish list - I ordered four sets for myself now, so my family doesn't even need to do the shopping! I will now have 16 out of the 32 sets for the series (at least I think there are 32). So, still a ways to go, and it may take several years at this rate to get the entire series.
Gothick's suggestion sounds good, if you can be sure that the vendors selling DS collections as "new" truly are new. I was able to get the out-of-print Midnite Movies double disk "Twice Told Tales"/"Tales of Terror" from one of these vendors right before Halloween, and it certainly appears to be brand new and never used, with the original shrink wrap.
