Nice set. Reminds me of the Big Lebowski bowling ball.

Season 1? I thought it was a mini-series? This seems pretty bold.

Yeah, as far as I know it's just the one series this year. I know King has come out with a letter to fans that don't like the changes in the show compared to the book, saying the changes only made for a better TV experience, and made for a better explanation of the dome being there longer than a week, like in the book.
So, maybe they have a plan for making this longer.

How many episodes aired so far, only one or two right? Shouldn't they wait until they see if this thing is a hit first?

Only one episode so far. You'd think they would want to see at least the reaction to a handful of episodes before making this set.
I guess they're thinking that the die hard King fans will get it regardless. I've got the book, so I'll be passing on this set.
It is pretty cool looking though.

After looking into this more, maybe the place I got the info screwed up calling this set the season 1 set. I got the info here. But, they seem to be the only place calling it a season 1 set, so I think someone there forgot it was a one off thing. Maybe there will be another season, but that certainly wouldn't be known yet. |

I just want to see where this goes. And they're catering to the same people that by collector sets like the Big Lebowski Bowling Ball, The Marvel Phase 1 Tesseract Briefcase, and all them Walking Dead statues with the BD in them.
Looks cool, but it ain't worth the 80 - 100 bucks their asking for it. Again, I think BD discs should only be $15 each, not $30 - $40.

That's the only thing keeping me from getting a decent but cheap BD player, then I have to buy the discs. I have so many movies that I'd want on Blu-ray it would break me, even if I had my old job back.
That's a lot of money for a movie.

Some are getting cheaper, and the sales break them down to what some DVDs cost, particularly new, but they can still be way too damn expensive. A movie shouldn't cost 3 times what you pay to see it in theaters.

Exactly, especially when I hate paying the damn theater price already. If I'm going to pay that much, it's gotta be something I absolutely love or some kind of super special edition with stuff I think is worth it.

Definitely. And even then, I still go out of my way to find it on sale or for a cheaper price. Look what I did for The Walking Dead book 8. It came out 9 months ago. I only bought it last week because it was $20. Cheaper even than Amazon. Hope that guy gets book 9 in a few months. Save me some bucks.

That man is wonderful. Hundreds of dollars worth of books for half or less. Can't beat that.
