The Complete Avengers: 50th Anniversary Edition (39 Discs)

Newbie!

Apologies if this has already been covered, but... are there any differences (apart from being polished up/digitally remastered) between the two sets of releases? I'm thinking in terms of the individual episodes?

For example, are any episodes edited now that weren't, or were edited before but have been restored in the digital version?

Cheers.

shame that it was never offered for sale in the U.S.

Agreed. I ordered the set via Amazon.uk. I'm very happy with the purchase.
I have pre ordered the season 5 blu ray set that is coming to the US.

I finally bought the original Optimum 'book-style' 50th set. The image quality is superb! However, the speed/pitch of the voices are indeed a bit higher on my set in the US. Some of Diana Rigg's throaty charm is lost in translation. Hopefully I will get used to it. Also makes me hope for a US Blu-ray soon.

The binding seems slightly fragile. Did this set originally come inside a slipcase?

Best,

i can't see a U.S. blu-ray release of all episodes....maybe series 4, etc...but the whole shooting match ? hard to say....and please do it right.....

They have a big sci-fi and fantasy sale at the moment, so grab a bargain. Complete sets of both The Champions and Catweazle are only £9.99!

I'm not sure if that's a mistake - it's a bargain if not. I've ordered one anyway.

It was a mistake ... it's £99.99 now:

Hello,
We're sorry to inform you that we will not be able to fulfil your order for The Avengers: 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set. An automated program mispriced this item so it appeared on the website at the incorrect price of £9.99.

When a mispricing takes place we will often honour the deal. However in this case the price difference is too large to make that feasible; £9.99 is a significantly lower than the price it costs us to obtain this item from the appropriate distributor. We have therefore cancelled your order. We apologise for your inconvenience and confirm that we have not charged your credit or debit card or, if you paid by PayPal that will be refunded asap.

As per our service charter and Terms and Conditions we retain the right not to fulfil any order for any reason whatsoever.

Please accept our apologies for the disappointment.
Yours,

I assumed it was too good to be true, but it was worth a try!

actually 99.99 is a pretty good price as most of us paid more i think. but 9.99 wow that would have been sweet.
