Pre-Order Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series DVD

As was previously announced, Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series is coming to DVD on Tuesday November 4. Here’s the place to discuss all the details on this anticipated DVD box set.

Since most of us will be getting Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series, we'd like to mention that if you order the release from Amazon using this link above, a small portion of your order will go to Muppet Central to help keep the site, forum and radio running smoothly. It's a great way to help MC and get a great price on the DVD set with a low-price guarantee with free shipping. We greatly appreciate each person that helps support MC by placing orders through the site.

For more information on Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series, check out this release...

looks like if you pre-order by the end of this month, you can save 10 dollars by doing the bill me later option and deal with their coupon code. If they would've just made the set 3 dollars more, could've saved 20 dollars. although i usually don't buy these from amazon, i usually wait for best buy and use my reward zone stuff

I usually buy through Wal-Mart, but then, their so-called low prices aren't as low as they claim they are.

Nor their quality and work practices as reliable as claimed.

And it's funny...Companies say that they will market down prices as cheap if competitors are cheaper. Therefore, since I found the complete series on the 'net for $100, Wal-Mart had better make it less than $100 to pay for.

I'd love to see Wal-Mart make a few other changes, heh.

But anyway! Good luck to everyone in getting the set if they decide to. Hopefully I can, and hopefully I can find a good home for my old ones.

I can find a home for the first season, since I bought it. But once I do, I am buying the complete series.

Guys, whether it's online or at a store, I recommend waiting until late Nov/early Dec. That's when they're likely to sell at a discount for a brief time. I'd keep an eye out!

Good advice...

Though, if you pre-order through Amazon they have a low price guaruantee. If it's ever offered at a price lower than your pre-order price point between the time you place the pre-order and the actual release, they'll give you the lowest price.

Yeah that is good! Just if anyone plans to buy it off the shelf, I think it pays to wait and see if and when the price is lowered after Nov. 8th.

i really don't see the price being lowered too much below that. complete series set like this at a retail store...don't see being anything lower than 119.99...so i am really tempted to take the 10 dollar off 97 bucks at amazon.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking about the price not lowering too much. Besides, I'm a little loopy when it comes to Fraggles... Have to have it right away.

About the $10 off through Amazon thing... I'd read all the fine print on that before you sign up for it. I believe they give you the discount when you sign up for the bill me later thing and that might inculde some rather substantial finance charges.

Yep.

For as Money Inc. always said:

I'm going to wait, I have to save money and I'm still not thrilled about the decision.
