Subject: HL Store & DVDs
Just thought I'd tell you guys that I just got a call from the Highlander
store about the first season DVDs. She said I could get it for 99.95
instead of the 139.95, so I went ahead and ordered it. After giving her my
info, she said it wouldn't go through at 99.95, but was 129.95 now and no
one told her about the price change. <rolling eyes, wondering how I didn't
see that coming> I had a heck of a time trying to tell her I would wait to
order it. She said they're going really fast like all other DVD's and I
might not be able to get a set if I waited, although she had told me just a
few minutes earlier that the "Best of.." didn't sell very well, but perhaps
that was on VHS only.
I also checked with my credit card company and they said it would be no
problem to dispute the charge if it showed up on my statement after all.
So, are there still problems with the DVDs? I remember a woman here who got
some bad discs a few months ago.
Oh, and she just called back, offering me Endgame.

Hi Barbara
I ordered the dvd's as soon as they came out. I have had no trouble with
them. I have had trouble with other NON Highlander movies on dvd';s. Its
more with the dvd player than the dvd's. I would order them I love mine.
NEVER NEVER believe anything the store tells you. The first season dvd's are
going slow. More sales will be needed for then to produce the other other
seasons

Please feel free to forward to any interested parties.
Hello, all.
If there are any of our older zines, particularly in other fandoms (Blakes 7,
Highlander, Rat Patrol, multi-media, Man from UNCLE, Alias Smith & Jones,
Westerns), that you would like to pick up at MediaWest, please contact us
about pre-ordering. Only more recent issues of the zines will be readily
available at the convention. Leah's new Highlander zine, A Kind of Magic
(http://ashtonpress.ma-at.net/akindofmagic.htm) *will* be available at
Mediawest and there is a *possibility* that "Cry Wolf* will finally be
available, as well. But please don't hold me to that. I'm having surgery in
two weeks and have *no* idea how much time I'll be able to spend at the
computer afterwards.
Listings for all of our zines can be found at:
http://ashtonpress.ma-at.net/zines.htm
The first print run of Pretense #1 (Stargate Jack/Daniel zine) is almost sold
out. I will be printing more, so no worries if you wanted to order and
haven't, *but* I am having surgery in a couple of weeks and will be out of
commission for awhile. So, if you did want a copy and don't want to have to
wait for another print run or just to have it shipped, ordering now might be
a good thing. Issue #2 is almost finished and will be going to press either
right before I go in the hospital or a couple of weeks after I get out.
