Boxsets

[ladybug_archive]

I've been looking at the Monkees season boxsets on eBay and trying to determine if there's any way I can get at least one. XD; I want them so bad. I wanted the old VHS boxset when it was out and it was too much for me, and I've wanted the DVD sets ever since they were released a couple of years ago. I know I really shouldn't try to get one, but they are definitely cheaper on eBay than in retail stores, and I've wanted them for so many years. . . . I really do think it would be worth the money, it's just a matter of if I really have that money to spare.

EDIT: I had to do it. XD; Since I've wanted them for six years, I think I'm entitled to finally have them. **pets them.**

And I'm steadily moving along reading Heir to the Empire. It's absolutely awesome so far, and I love the way Timothy Zahn writes the characters. The movie ones seem to be perfectly in character, and the new ones he's introducing are very intriguing indeed. Right now I really don't like Mara Jade, though. XD; She seems to be an angry, bitter, she-dog all the time. If she's mad thinking that Luke did something to someone she cared about, that's one thing and I could empathize with her. But if she's just all whiny because the Emperor is dead and she can't be his precious servant or whatever she was before, then I think she's pathetic. And at this point I don't get how she ever comes to love Luke so much that she actually marries him.

Candy Clouds chapter 10 is almost done. ^^ There's just a few more pages to go, if I can concentrate long enough. XD; Not only am I all psyched about the Monkees, but things are going to be really busy around here for the next couple of weeks.

I can so understand the boxset situation. *points to endless posts about her DNAngel and Chrono Crusade boxsets* I am going to get them both. *nod nod*

Good for you! Monkees are bringers of happy. And actually, the DVD boxsets they release now are cheaper than the VHS boxsets they released awhile back.

Yes, that's true. I have never seen the VHS set for less than around $70, even on eBay. But I got season 1 for about $54 and Season 2 for $49. And that's really good, especially since the going retail price now seems to be $89 for one of them, according to both BestBuy.com and Rhino.com. .___.; Occasionally I saw them for $60, at places like Fred Meyer, but I haven't seen them in retail stores for a while now.
