Not sure if its supposed to be so low, but I'm sure it'll be bid up a fair bit over the six days but not bad starting at 99p

Blimey! Better not let my mum see that - she payed £80 to get that for my Christmas present two years ago!

Worth it though!

I'm one of those who bought them individually upon release 2008/2009 and paid an absolute fortune.  So an absolute bargain, whether 99p or £80.  Good luck to whoever gets it.

I probably would still buy them individually though if I turned back time, because of the excitement of a Crossroads DVD coming through my box every month.

Yes,it's up to us diehard fans to support these things on their initial release. Had we not we mightn't have got so many volumes.

I bought them individually too. I think I got caught up in the madness.

Oh well, "non je ne regrette rien" as Bo Beaumont might say. Or "wee-ell, that's God's way of saying yoove got more munny than sense" as Mrs Overall would say.

I enjoyed the thrill of getting them every month.

I know some months there were two released, and in the madness of May 2008 we had three : Archives, 1.1, 5 & 6  I loved it all  Cheesy

They should have stuck to one a month, that way some people wouldn't have been priced out.

Yes I also bought the whole lot as they came out paying a fortune. I did buy the 45th Anniversary Set as a present for a friend in the 100% off sale that Network did in January 2010 and paid £45 and felt I had got a real bargain and it was hidden away until last Christmas!

Just wish we could have some more episodes released!

Yes, definitely.  We are stuck in a time-warp of May 1979, and need to get to the end of the ATV years, 1981 especially.

Some good storylines in that timescale.

Yes, the cut off was most unfortunately timed. I was gutted at the time, but they're still out there so you never know. One day.

Well even the diehards found it hard to keep up, you can't get much more of a bigger fan than Peter Kingsman, and he still hasn't completed the set.

Its probably done at that extremely low price to grab peoples attention.  Mike's right, its bound to rise a fair bit.
