*Sorry if this shouldn't be here*

I found a store that has a number of the Disney Treasures and I have enough money to buy two of them, but I was wondering which ones are rarest or should be picked up first? Here's a list of what the store has:

More Silly Symphonies
The Hardy Boys, the Mickey Mouse Club
Chronological Donald Vol. 2
Disney Rarities
Adventures of Spin and Marty
Mickey Mouse in Black and White Vol. 2
Mickey Mouse Club
Chronological Donald
On The Front Lines

I'm wondering which store you found all these at?

From that list, I have:
Hardy Boys
Mickey Mouse Club
Rarities
Chronological Donald Volume 1
On The Front Lines

I've watched all of the Hardy Boys set. It's pretty good. I also watched all of On the Front Lines, another very good set. I've watched a little bit of Rarities and it has a good selection of cartoons along with some of the Alice shorts. I dunno, it's hard to say which is the best from that list. Id say if you can get Mickey Mouse in Black and White Vol 2, I'd go for that one as the only place you can probably find it is ebay.

In my opinion, you should definitely get "On the Front Lines"- that's just a great set, period. It's very interesting to see the patriotic cartoons (like about saving oil and buying War Bonds). I'd agree with Barbossa on the MMinB&W, Vol. 2. Get it while you can!

All of them.

Well, if you love all that stuff in general (as I do), I'd say go with the hardest one to find. If you're not sure what you like and tend to be choosey, go with the one that you think you'll enjoy the most.

I have all the Treasures so far and only lack the 4th Legacy Collection (I'll pick it up as soon as I can afford to). It's the one DVD line I've made sure not to fall behind on.

As a Disney fanatic, I'd say the best set from those and maybe all the Treasures is "On the Front Lines." However, it is probably not to everyone's tastes. Personally, I'm not big on military/war stuff, but I do love 1930's/40's nostalgia and WWII is one of the 2 wars that actually interest me (the other being the American Revolution). For pure Disney fun and enjoyment though, I have to say that my favorite set is probably "Disney Rarities."

Thanks guys To answer Barbossa's question I found them at CdPlus, I phoned them and asked about all the treasures I don't have and so far those are the ones they can order in for me.

Personally I was thinking of getting the two Donald Duck ones or MMB&W 2 and one other (possibly Rarities or Front Lines). I've been trying to juggle my money around to see if I could get a third one as well.

Chernabog_Rocks, I see you got C.R as your location. Is this Campbell River? Too bad we don't have a CdPlus in Kelowna, but we do have Future Shop, HMV, and A&B Sound, but these places always see to sell out of the good stuff like the treasures. I think there is a CdPlus in the mall in Cranbrook.

If buying them all is out of the question, I'd recommend the cartoons sets - and if only two I guess it'd be Front Lines and Rarities, although I consider them all quite "essential".

Yeah, CR is Campbell River it sucks having so few movie stores here to choose from though


I do plan on ordering in all of them it'll cost a lot, but with Christmas coming up maybe I could get even 3 or 4 of them as presents. After juggling money around I could get 3 of them I think I'll leave the Mickey Mouse Club, Hardy Boys ones alone until later on.

That makes sense - even because they're probably not the first ones to become unavailable.

Update, out of the nine I'm now able to pick up six of them which is a lot better than 2 or 3. Aside from that with the 7th wave coming out I'll have....quadrupled? (sp?) the number of treasures I currently own

Good - is it going to be the animated sets?

Well, I've placed the order but there were a couple of difficulties I won't be getting Chronological Donald Vol. 1 apparently it disappeared So instead I pre-ordered Volume 3. One thing I'm confused about is the lady said she ordered Mickey Mouse Vol. 3 for me but I have no idea what she meant since there's only Volume 2's so far.....

Well, there are four MM volumes - two in B&W and two in "living color". But none of them is called volume three (or four)...

I've always wanted to bid on the Treasures on eBay but never end up going through with it. I know for sure I'll end up receiving it with a dented tin or something. I'm super picky like that. I very rarely see them in stores too with the tins nowadays.

Seriously? I find that odd...the only Treasures that I know of that are sold in stores without their tins are the ones in the first 2 (?) waves that were/are sold at Costco in a multi-pack. All other Treasures should be sold in their tins, to my knowledge.

Yea, I find it very odd to. It is always this one particular store Sunrise Records. Whatever Treasures that they have out are all without the tin. I hate that, the tin is like a slipcover for me. If it has one, I will only buy it with one. lol

None of the stores here carry Treasures unless they're all in the back in storage We had a few from the first three waves but then nobody bought them and they went and disappeared so I'm assuming they're in storage somewhere. Campbell River only has Cdplus as a movie/cd store only so it's rather hard to get a good deal unless you drive down to the next town....even then you have a 50/50 chance of finding something.

Has anyone here ever won Treasures on eBay? If yes, did you receive it in good condition? I'd love to try and win some but I'm scared about the condition it will be in once I get it.

I got the entire 1st wave off of Ebay and all of them came in perfectly. Just make sure to get it from a seller with a ~99% feedback and hundreds of transactions.
