Without a doubt one of the best series of movies ever. Do they ship to the US?

I've been waiting for this kind of good news, no way was I gonna pay ï¿½60.

Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 11:26 am

It seems the offer's over. It's back up to ï¿½50 again now. I guess they must have made a mistake.

At ï¿½6 a pop I'm not suprised. My friend pointed it out to me and he ordered one each for us. I even took a screen grab to make sure (and to prove to the wife I wasn't just saying it Wink

)

For the record down here in Oz at the moment the collection retails at about Au$52. But these things change weekly.

Obviously, this vendor doesn't subscribe to the "A card laid is a card played" philosophy.

One of my favorite online vendors, JR Cigars, does follow that rule. Every once in a while, they'll make a mistake on their website. The erroneous price will immediately appear on various cigar-related bulletin boards, and they'll get a thousand orders within the space of an hour.

So far, they've always filled the orders.

I also ordered the boxset and got the you aint getting it email. Just checked my account and it's still listed under outstanding orders.

I don't fancy my chances of getting the boxset, but while it's still listed in my account details, I guess there's still hope

PM me if you still interested I know where you can get it a good price not as good as 6 pounds but a damn site better than 50 or 60.

Each Pink Panther films can be got from PlayUK from between ï¿½5.99 each and ï¿½6.99 each, so it's cheaper than their current box set price to buy them separately. Shipping is free, but that's only if you are in the UK of course:

Pink Panther stuff

Needless to say, stay away from the Steve Martin version Shocked

Unfortunatly the UK trading law is that if they take the money, they've got to honour the deal. Play don't take the money until they're ready to post the item.

Unfortunatly in a moment of weaknes, I actually bought the Steve Martin version.

Aye, I know Play haven't done anything legally wrong, I was replying to the threaten them with trading standards post.

Discounts come around for retailers all the time. Sometimes they are passed on and sometimes not. jump a bargain when you see it and don't hold your breath if you missed it. It's usually because the warehouse is over stocked or the distributor is pushing the new release.
Always look for back catalogue deals when a new release is in the offering.

I'd love to offer all eater members a discount but I'd get banned for spamming Wink

I am so sorry. Don't worry, the pain will pass in time.

Don't give him any sympathy. I've seen his DVD collection and he has a lot worse stuff than that in there. And this is the guy that bought me Rhinestone for my birthday!! Ok, so I bought him Gigli and Hulk for his but that's not important Twisted Evil
