Kiwis -- "Mighty Saturns" DVDs NZ$10

[Kiwi]

The Warehouse had the Spacecraft Films 3-DVD set "The Mighty Saturns -- Saturn I and IB" in stock today for only $9.99, and if you buy another DVD at the same price you get them for $9.00 each. My nearest branch, Palmerston North, had four sets on display, so may have more, but they have one less set now!

Please post here if you see that they have any other Spacecraft Films DVD sets.

One frustration: It takes 1 minute 22 seconds before you can do anything useful with the DVDs. An absurd waste of time.

Can I contact this shop and order direct to Oz? That's a great price. I have the Saturn V DVDs and this would complete the set.

[PhantomWolf]

Unlikely, they tried going into Oz and it failed over there. They don't even have this sort of things in all the stores over here

PW, does this mean the New Plymouth branch of The Warehouse didn't have them?

Feilding and Palmerston North branches don't have them now, but it looks like some branches might have also had the Saturn V set, because some Trade Me sellers have grabbed them and are trying to double their money, plus up to $7.20 for NZ courier post.
www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Dvds/Popular.aspx?search=1&sidebar=1&mcat=0003-&searchString=mighty%20saturns&54=mighty%20saturns&164=DVDs&generalSearch_keypresses=0&generalSearch_suggested=0

So at least the I and IB set is still available for about half the normal US price, but only New Zealanders and, I think, Aussies can join Trade Me, which is the local equivalent of Ebay.

The main question is, has anyone seen any of these Mighty Saturns DVDs still in any branch of The Warehouse for $9.99?

I notified the NZ Spaceflight Association about them, so some of their members might have also grabbed a few.

[PhantomWolf]

I haven't actually looked, I didn't see then advertised, but in the past it is a case of just having what they get sent.

[Kiwi]

Good news. I called at the Feilding branch of The Warehouse today and in just the last week they had got in two each of three Spacecraft Films' DVD sets:
The Mighty Saturns - Saturn I & IB -- Cat. No. 5 039036 019620
The Mighty Saturns - Saturn V -- Cat. No. 5 039036 019613
Project Gemini -- Cat. No. 5 039036 021210

All sets have three DVDs and are $9.99 each, and $9.00 each if you buy any two $9.99 DVDs.

The catalogue numbers above are the barcode ones used by The Warehouse, so should be handy if you want your local branch to order any. Feilding branch now has only one set of each because I grabbed a I & IB set for Obviousman and the other two for me.

Again, if you see that they have any other sets, please post here. I particularly want Apollo 17 but would like to hear of any others.
