Geek Deals: Angel DVD Set For $51; Force FX Lightsabers For $50

A few weeks back, Amazon was offering the Buffy the Vampire complete series collectors set for $70, and I picked it up despite not being a Buffy fan. I have since found the time to only watch 3 episodes. I like what I've seen so far, and people tell me it only gets way better. I've heard a lot of high praise for the spin-off series Angel. I wish I could clone myself, I would be able to get a lot more done that way. Unfortunately that isn't possible, and while tempting, I might have to hold off on Amazon's 24-hour only Gold Box Deal of the day:

Angel – Seasons 1-5 30-Disc DVD Set for Only $50.99, 64% off the retail price.

But I'm sure a lot of you will jump at this opportunity. I still have the Complete series of The Write to catch up on.

Walmart has put the Star Wars Force FX Lightsabers on clearance for only $50, about 60% off the normal $120 retail price. As of this posting, the Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi sabers are the only ones still in stock online. I bet that won't last long. You might want to check your local store. Master Replicas lost the license to make the Force FX Lightsabers to Hasbro. From what I can tell, the Hasbro lightsabers are identicle to the old Master Replica models.Previous (Still Valid) Geek Deals:
