    hey all,
    So, I am trying to find a copy of the season one boxset in town (Phoenix.) Just wondering if anyone could suggest stores that might carry it? We tried Borders the other day, checked the boxset, childrens, and anime sections, and couldn't find it (the DVD section there is friggin confusing ) I know amazon has it, but I would really like to avoid the shipping cost and waiting time..

    (any help greatly appreciated)

    I had a hard time finding it as well. I went to Toy-R-Us, Wall-Mart, and a few more stores with no luck. I finally found it at an "fye" and they had it for $62, which is way more than it should be. But I was impatient and bought it anyways. So personally I think that buying it online might be your best shot. Good luck

    No such luck. I was thinking maybe trying Suncoast, or having Borders or someplace special order it for me, since they usually don't charge for shipping.. but, I would still have to wait for it, and it usually takes weeks for them to get stuff in they don't normally stock..

    I saw that at FYE too and that's a crime really. I got mine at Target for 44 dollars if that helps. Target>Walmart

    I had to call a couple places, but I finally found a Wally World that has it - only one copy left, and they said they would hold it for me
    It's $43.87, BTW

    I had to get mine at a Best Buy. Man it's nice to have the whole season though. I really wanted more special features though. The only ones I really liked were the commentaries and the original pilot.

    Never heard of FYE.. but, man.. $62 is crazy for something with a list price of $43. Getting it from amazon would be cheaper, even with shipping.. too bad they don't have it at Sam's Club or Costco.

    Yeah, looking back on it now I wish I had bought it from amazon, but I was way to impatient. FYE's prices are horrible, so if you ever see one don't waste your time and money shopping there.

    Why would you have to pay for shipping from Amazon? Isn't it, if the purchase is over $25 US, you get free shipping? I'm in Canada and we get free shipping if it's over $39 CDN. Wait time is only an extra day or so, I think.

    Does anyone know where I can watch the orginal first episode in the box set? I bought each the Volumes as they came out, I didn't know the boxed set would have extra bonus features. =( I'm poor, can't afford to buy them all again just for one episode. I tried to go and rent the box set, but everywhere I went only had the 5 main disks to rent, no bonus feature disk .

    Sell the volumes on Ebay.

    I got the Box set, and watched it, and here is my review. It was worth the price. I loved it. I loved the extras, especially the Kung Fu feature.

    Behind the voices of Avatar on Disc 3??was a great feature. Of the actors that was featured (disappoined Mae Whitman did not participate), everyone was very loose, and jokingly in front of the camera, except for Dante Basco. He was the most serious of all the voice actors??that was featured. I guess he was still into character, Dante is a really funny person, he is a comedic rapper,??so??it is not his personality to be all serious. So he was still in Zuko mode. LOL He also whore a suit to the recoding studio.

    On the DVD, there is no Previously On Avatar segment, and the Nickelodeon logo, copyright, etc. at the end of the closing credits are chopped off. No big deal, but still would be nice to have the episodes as they aired on tv.

    Biggest disappointment, is the original pilot was only available with Audio Commentary by Brian and Michael. Would like to have had the choice to watch it with commentary.

    Man you guys should go to Modesto, CA. I've seen ten box sets yesterday there. But I hate how they jacked the price up 20 bucks.
