Don't feel that way. Target is having a sale on *ALL* their TV DVDS and a lot of their movies. It is not just Firefly $18.99 and Serenity WS $10.00.

It is just that we don't care that any of the other TV DVDs or movies are on sale.

KAELE above mentioned the
http://www.whedonverse.org project.

"The Whedonverse Multimedia Project seeks to donate DVDs of Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series, Firefly and Serenity to public libraries and other charitable organizations.

If you've donated Buffy, Angel, or Firefly/Serenity DVDs or Books to a public library or other charitable organization, please submit the details of your contribution to our tally. We would like to showcase the generosity of the fandom. "

They accept donations of cash or DVDS.

Check with your local library. Do they have
Firefly and Serenity? Tell them about the
deal at Target.

yeah, like the other poster said, it's not just Firefly. Target has sales on their TV DVDs all the time. This week they had Firefly, all the seasons of Seinfeld, Arrested Development season 1, Rescue Me seasons 1 & 2, Grey's Anatomy season 1, The Office season 1, 24 season 1, and a bunch of other DVDs on sale for $18.99. Heck, that's good company to be in, so the sale really has nothing to do with the show. like i said, they just put DVDs on sale quite often. which is good for me, because i've bought a number of them in the past. like all 4 seasons of 24 when Target had them on sale for cheap.

Gorram it!

I was just in Target last night and bought two copies of Firefly at sale price for gifts. Wish I had known that Serenity was on sale for $10 & I would have picked up a couple of copies of it as well. Can always use them as gifts or give aways at parties or conventions.

Yeah, thanks, I suppose that does make me feel better, I just think y'know if they can justify selling Star Trek for over $100, why not Firefly?

Dropped by my local Target yesterday; they were SOLD OUT of Serenity! (lots of other $10 movies were still available, though) :)

I ran into Target yesterday to get a copy of both Firefly and the BDM. Serenity was SOLD OUT but I was able to pick up a copy of the series. I also convinced a lady that was there browsing to buy a copy of FF. I made sure to tell her that there was a movie and if she liked the series to look for it next time she was at Target.

Always looking to spread the word.

Bought two of each on Thursday but had to go to multiple stores as the first one didn't have it, which had they sold out would have been fine, but they didn't even have a spot for the BDM to be in to start.

Thankyou a million times over for this post. I originally bought the series on Amazon and was sorely disappointed when it came to me terribly scratched, especially Disc One. Until three days ago, I'd never seen "Bushwacked" in it's entirety. I even sent the seller an e-mail, giving him/her a chance to rectify the problem. He told me to contact Amazon for a refund. Great service.

Anyway, thanks again. You're my hero.







I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... how do I know you won't kill me in my sleep?

Eeek, that is scary. Like they won't restock Serenity after it sells out. Target seems to always keep Firefly in stock.

Walmarts in my area are sold out and not restocking Serenity.

Target, FYE, Best Buy and Circuit City still have Serenity.
