My very own christmas present to myself arrived today, surprisingly early (if the picture on the left is broken: it's the Buffy the vampire slayer - the Chosen collection - DVD box). Due to considerate friends and nerdy blogs I didn't miss the amazon.com Gold Deal of the Day on November, the 21st. All seven seasons of THE show that initialized my TV-junkiness for 70 bucks, that's 10 dollars per season. Packaged in a very decorative Box.
The delivery estimate spoke of a date between December 22 and January 13, but mail seemed to be fast. And to make it even cooler, the german customns didn't seem to care about billing me the 19% sales tax plus 3% customns tax - so I got the whole thing for just 63 Euros including shipping. HA!
So. At last! Buffy complete in my bookshelf! I can throw away the old UK-Video-Imports and the expensive 2,5 german season boxes! Waiting DOES pay off.
By the way, amazon.co.uk has a similar (but not so nicely packaged and in the "wrong" aspect ratio) Box for 50 pounds - should be in the same pricing area like mine. So if someone is still looking for a cheap version... :).
