Curious. The price on the box I have is $44 (printed on the packaging, not a sticker)
I'm not as excited by the WB 'movies'. They were done kind of late on when everything was cannon and they were cutting budget. I tend to like the older animation when they were still viciously competing with Disney, Fleischer, and MGM. Though, on that note, I have to admit I've never been a real fan of Tom and Jerry. Some of it is nicely animated but I always felt like they took a lot of shortcuts and I honestly never could get into the rather limited story. Maybe I should rewatch them though. I tend to look at things with different eyes now, compared with a few years ago.
It's possible that WB knows that no one in their right mind is going to sell it for the full list price, so they just put the sale price on them. I know I bought Vol 1 & 2 for ~$40 via Amazon when they came out and Amazon always takes ~1/3 off new releases, so...
I'm a big fan of old skool cartoon violence (exemplified by Road Runner/Coyote), so Tom & Jerry is usually right up my alley. :)
