I'd love to think I'm wrong, but...

Dear Warner Brothers,

I initially pleased to hear that someone had finally got the right to put out Man from UNCLE on dvd, and that things seemed to be afoot to include some cool-looking extras while the majority of people involved with the show are actually still alive. However, I guess I'd forgotten that the money those of us not in the US would spend isn't something you actually want.

Thanks so much for deciding that it would be a really good idea to be selling the entire series in one single set in a way that does its utmost to make it as difficult as possible for anyone outside the US to buy it, due to difficulties around shipping, prohibitive costs and customs charges. Why didn't you just sell the rights to Columbia House and have done with it?

No love,
Me

[cycnus39]

I meant the dvds you sent arrived. Duh.

Anyway, I hope you didn't trip over your robe (as I did) and have you booked our room yet?

Oh, and do you want badfic for the cousin's stepson of the bride of the bad fan fic panel?

Well, you know what you have to do now... ;)

DVD's - yay! Bonus stuff from everyone who's still alive - bonus yay!

All four seasons at once? That sounds like it could be a very expensive set of DVD's. *eyes bank balance consideringly*

TimeLife? Drat. *eyes US flist consideringly*

This will require further thought. But still, at least the project is finally *moving*, so, on balance, yay!

Thanks for telling me about the good news. *g*

For comparison's sake, Get Smart is $199.

Also, still vexed with the WB. Hmmmph.

I'm going to have the same problem as the Get Smart set also by Time Life wasn't available to Canada at first BUT there are ways around that and if you want I'll get you a set at the same time I'll be getting mine ;-)

I have my vexed-with-WB head on at the moment. ;)

[obelix]

Oh I'm right there with you! It's frustrating as hell!

It's going to require some fancy footwork for me to get my set since Time Life doesn't always sell to Canada directly (sometimes they do but months later and I'm not waiting).

However I'm so happy to hear that SOMETHING is finally coming out with extras that I'm actually looking forward to watching, that I just can't stay vexed too long and considering the cartwheels I've had to do to get the Season 1 of Beast War Transformers, getting a set of MFU DVDs from Time Life should be a walk in the park ;-)

I have a sister in the States. I may be able to help you obtain the pretty. Email me when TimeLife start advertising...

Oh, I have my ways (thanks for the offer though), but that doesn't stop me being vexed... ;)
