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 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 imagine a lot of younger people will discredit the show for lack of special effects and slick, fool the eye imagery. They're currently texting the person sitting next to them.

Unfortunately, most 60s shows suffer in comparison to today's effects. Having grown up with them, though, I have a certain fondness for the "naive charm" they had.
