Guess what just became available to buy in the U.S.? Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4, that's what! The series that includes "Death of the Doctor"! Plus other good stuff! But also "Death of the Doctor"!
So I did some comparison shopping and decided to purchase from Amazon. The only trouble was, the item qualified for Super Saver shipping (aka free shipping), but only if the total order was at least $25, which it wasn't. So I hemmed and hawed, and thought about adding Doctor Who Series 6 to the order because I do want to own that one day, but I was going to wait until the price went down a little since it's expensive and I have all those episodes on videotape anyway. So I poked around the site to see what else I might want to buy, and there it was: ANDROID INVASION! The episode that I used to have on videotape that I watched and re-watched until it sadly disintegrated due to age. The episode that I really enjoy despite all its flaws, because it has a great plot, great banter, Sarah's face falling off, and a wonderful moment where Colonel what's-his-face says that the astronaut has traveled farther than any human ever has before, and Harry and Benton give each other this look. Yes, I could practically buy the DVD just for that moment. Anyway, there it was, and I was aching to buy it, but it's not being released until Jan. 10. I can pre-order it, though, and the website seems to imply that if I add it to my order, I will qualify for Super Saver shipping. So I hit the "add to cart" button and watch what happens, and I'm just waiting to be told that both my DVDs will arrive together in January after "Android Invasion" is released, and I don't want to wait that long for Sarah Jane Adventures, but no! Sarah Jane Adventures is being shipped now, and "Android Invasion" is being shipped when it's released, and both are being shipped for free!
Hooray!!!!!!!
And now suddenly I'm in the mood to go shopping for a bright pink sailor suit. I can't imagine why. :D
