Stupid tuition fees keeping me from my dvd's...

and these are the boxes:

[Andreas]

Aww,  ! I must admit the head box is somewhat cute - I just love that smile. But still, for saving my sanity and the overall appearance of my DVD shelf, I'll take the digipack.

[Gazmanafc]

I'm wondering if it really is Swartzwelder doing the commentary in 5F01.

[SpringfieldHorror]

I'm looking forward to nine. This will probably be my last set. "Lisa's Sax" "Das Bus" and "Lisa the Simpson" are reasons for my purchase.[br]

You can still order a box through the mail for $3 in the states.  I got mine two weeks ago after 6 weeks of waiting (although I had to sacrifice a corner of the DVD guide to send in my proof of purchase ).

I had to send in the 1-800 insert from the box and I'm STILL waiting! It's been 8 weeks.
I just hope the mail man doesn't cram it into our tiny mail box.
