Universal Sci-Fi Giveaway!

[ramsey37]

Over the last couple of years, Best Buy sold two volumes of a DVD set called "The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection". Both sets were comprised entirely of Universal classics that had previously had no DVD release, and both sets were highly anticipated by movie buffs and monster fans. Volume 1 sold out almost immediately and was quickly turning up on eBay and elsewhere at grossly inflated prices. I missed out on that set but was able to score a copy of last year's Volume 2. As luck would have it, Universal just rereleased both sets as one big set, which I just received last week. Now I have two copies of the Volume 2 set, and since I'm unlikely to sell my spare set at a huge profit, I figured I'd offer it here as a giveaway. The set includes the following movies:
Dr. Cyclops
Cult of the Cobra
The Land Unknown
The Deadly Mantis
The Leech Woman
I had trouble getting "Dr. Cyclops" to load properly, the opening keeps coming out rather pixelated. The other four films all played just fine, however.
I will give this set to the first person to PM me with their name and mailing address. Good luck!

So the first set is available again along with the second? Is it a Best Buy exclusive again?

They're available as one big set now, and it's not an exclusive. Actually, it looks like all they did was design a new larger plastic sleeve to house the two sets of discs, which are identical to the original discs. I purchased my set through Amazon:
Amazon.com: Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection 1 TV

Well, crap. Now I have to ditch set two.
