Get your stinking paws on one!  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-18-2009 12:26 AM                     Thanks for the heads up! I just got a $25 certificate from Amazon (I guess I racked up enough points) so this set ended up costing me $33 bucks. Not bad.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 04-22-2009 11:40 AM                  Mike - Did you get your copy yet? What a fantastic package. The book is unbelievable and the movies look and sound great. I thought the odd package configuration would bother me but it doesn't and the content is amazing.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-22-2009 12:25 PM                     Not yet... I chose the free shipping option, which usually takes a week or two (though oddly, the last blu rays I bought from them with this option arrived 2 days later).  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

It was not as good as the original film series but it would be nice if it was part of the POTA BD set. Is there a deadline to oder the set at the special price? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-22-2009 05:24 PM                     It's just the original feature films of the series plus a nice 200+ page book.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-22-2009 05:31 PM                     I just got mine today, and it's a great set. Can't wait to fire them up this weekend.  |  IP: Logged Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 04-23-2009 10:19 AM                  The book is beautiful. Not the typical DVD swag...it's really great. Claude - unfortunately the deal was only for one day. It's now back at it's regular price of $82.99. The set only includes the first five films. That remake was terrible...the only truly disappointing Tim Burton film I have ever seen. There is a standard DVD set that includes all the films including the remake, all the episodes of the TV show, all the episodes of the animated show, the "Behind the Planet of the Apes" documentary and presumably all the available behind the scenes material. It is in an ape head package: POTA Ultimate Collection Of course not being blu-ray - at least for the feature films - it's a little behind the times.  |  IP: Logged
