Today, Amazon began the Pre-Orders for Futurama: The Complete Set on DVD! Here is the news story on TVShowsonDVD.com, and here is the product page for Amazon! Can't wait, as the set is described as being sold in Bender's head!!

Well, the season sets and movies each sell for $18 new, while the complete collection sells for $120. So the complete collection isn't economical if one already owns a couple of the season sets or movies. But if there are a few hundred thousand Comedy Central-era new fans who don't own any of the DVDs, I certainly hope they all run (not walk) over to Amazon and buy this thing.
The seasons 1-4 are available at the local Wal-Mart for $14.95 each. BWABB is $24.95 and ITWGY is $19.95. WHAT'SUPWITHDAT?

You're confused, Snart. They are paying people $24.95 to take BWABB.
And still very few takers...

A much as this product sounds nice, it seems that the price has been inflated for the collectablity novelty factor...

It's nice that Amazon has a discounted pre-order price...I agree, though.

Is it going to be in any other stores than Amazon? Like Bestbuy?

Have you noticed that the page of the Futurama Complete Collection is not available at Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029XFNBC/and I can not find it in Amazon anymore.. Don't tell me that they are not gonna release that special edition collection!!!!! I read somewhere that there's no region 1 box yet, but I don't know.. Or perhaps Amazon is trying to get rid of the individual seasons first..

Is there still going to be a retail version of the "Complete" Collection. Because I don't see the point of that. I doubt any fan would jump in to an offer that costly (since they already likely own the Seasons/Movies). The individual sets are cheaper than a "Complete" Collection likely would be. On the other hand, a Bender casing for all the movies together (sort-of like the Simpsons did) would be fine (40/50$).
P.S. How well did that other Complete Collection (The Series Box Set) sell?
I'd assume it did well. When I had to purchase mine, I had to purchase the last available in the country. If that says more about the box set or my country is up to you to decide.

According to the site you can have someone else pick it up for you. Do you know anyone in the US? Yes, but is a big favor to ask someone to go from Florida to San Diego in order to pick up a giant Bender head , and later bring that Head to Ecuador, where I live. I wish they'd announce the price already. $200 in the SDCC acording to an official press release of the collection: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Futurama-Bender-Head-Complete-Collection/12235I guess the high price is because of the exclusive number by Matt Gorening and David X Cohen at the CC and you'll receive a limited edition poster The good news is that it says: Futurama" The Complete Collection will be available everywhere this October. The bad news is that you don't know if it comes with the Bender Head, but I say the Collection will come with the Bender head.

I'm hoping they release a second set that doesn't contain the volume one series.
Why? That would hardly make it complete.

You didn't answer my question. It sounds like you don't want Volume One.
I'd made sense if you had said, "they can put off some of the seasons, because I just want the Bender Head".
