Round Table - The Box Set, Yes or No...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I noticed the other day that people were talking about the new box set and a very spiffy price on Amazon.com  Seems the movie has done one of two things:
1) Spurred sales of all things UNCLE, or...
2) Left retailers with excess merchandise.

The sale is over, but the MFU page is pretty full... see it HERE
So, what do you think?  Are we going to experience a deluge of new fans, both for the show and the movie?  Movie only?  TV purists?
Did anyone buy the set at that Fab price of just under $60?
Talk to me people!

I've already seen a lot of fic based upon the movie cropping up. Just like Star Trek, I think we'll have the origiinal MFU fic, and the New MFU fan fic. At the same time I think the movie has generated interest in the original show...for people who want more.

Over on Fanfiction.net my stats (when they were working, but they've been down for a week...grrrr) they were through the roof! I've had lots of new people commenting and adding my stories to the favorites, I mean a lot. These are people who aren't new to the site either, so they're discovering the MFU for whatever reason.

Going to the movie today. Purchased my 4 seasons of MFU from Amazon. I can watch wherever I want. Pretty ok. Just can't download the return movie, which I kinda liked.

Already had the set that I got on a good sale years ago when it first came out.

I cross-post most of my LJ stuff onto my Tumblr and I've gotten a big surge of new followers since the movie came out. I think the movie will pique curiosity about the series, but I'm not sure about it gaining and sustaining new fans. I was reading a review of the movie and in the comments section, several people said that they loved the movie but thought the series "sucked."

I still haven't seen the movie, and in all actuality it will probably be on dvd when I finally do watch it. Maybe not... depends on how long it's in the theaters.

I got the series set in the nifty "aluminum" case on sale a long while back. I think Warner Bros had it on sale.

Did just pre-order the new movie since the local theaters stopped showing it already.

I forgot to mention that I had gotten the briefcase boxed-set several years ago. Despite the price, I'm glad I have the older one, because I adore that little briefcase.
