Cost-a-lottus

"This is great, but who can afford it? It averages out to slightly more than $12.00 per episode (with Amazon's price), but you'd think there would be a better price break for purchasing them all at once. I will never buy something this prohibitively expensive, no matter what it is or how much I admire the series."
Great Episodes, but no special box

"Nova shows are always very high quality and that is why I bought this set. Many of the 43 DVDs I wanted to get, so even with the few that I wasn't sure I'd like it is still cheaper than buying singles. Then again, I bet when I watch the ones I was indifferent towards, I'll love them anyway. The issue I have is that there is no special cases or holders - you get a cardboard box that says NOVA and has 43 individually wrapped DVDs inside - just as if you bought them seperately at the store. Each one has shrink wrap and those dang security stickers to remove. What a pain! I bought the set new from a seller on Amazon for $450 - so for 43 of them it is a great price for such educational programs."
