Fraggle Rock Official DVD

I bought this even though i knew it is region 2 and i live in the US. why can't the US bring it on dvd already...we've got the french and UK versions...(at least this one had english audio)...

Well, I have taken the liberty to make a back up copy that is now all regions so i can play it on my dvd player. worked like a charm too. i was going to resell or try to resell the real 2 disc set dvd on ebay...but i thought i'd ask in here first if anyone was interested. i don't know a single place in the US where you can actually buy it. so, if anyone would be interested in this, let me know!

now i'm not sure if i would like to sell it. lol. i got a region-free hack for my computer dvd players so i can easily watch them on there...and one of my dvd players plays region 2...but at home not here at college. the burnt copies are pretty much the same except i'd have no disc or cover art...hmmm...which is more important? lol. i wouldn't be able to set a price on this, so i may either not sell it or i'll put it on ebay. if i do put it on ebay, i'll post the link so anyone here can bid on it if they'd like. or make me a direct offer. otherwise i just might file it for the archives

2 words... red tape. It's all because of the deals Henson made recently involving selling TMS characters to Disney and making a deal with HIT for Fraggle Rock.

So, I'm guessing we could see a DVD at one point, but it may not be boxed sets....

how much would you want to buy it for. i wouldn't charge much since you have the original..just enough to cover the discs and time and shipping i suppose.
