nono Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think we are parity to you these days.....or at least very close :D Hey, like the old days*!!!! OK then yes, I think you did the right thing by ordering. What's neat about the series is the conversationality of it, v. being akin to a dry lecture. And, thanks for the info about the related materials on the scholastic site. :) *We've had a larger than usual contingent of Quebecois here this summer, so I thought perhaps the exchange rate was perhaps largely in your favor! And, btw, we love the Montrealers visiting. They relax and blend in so much more than our other visitors! ;) Funny, but true. Though my French is sure getting a workout this summer as more from further away from the city are visiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aminuteorless Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yay! I've been eying these because my boy loves them. I used the Visa coupon code and got everything for $43 including shipping. Thank you! Thank you! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoLuRu Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I preordered and am bummed that it wasn't the best deal, but no matter - the kids LOVE them, and they're waking up and putting them on to watch while they have cereal in the morning - giving me an extra half hour of sleep in the morning! They're learning and I'm getting extra sleep? Worth it! Thanks for the activities link and breakdown by subject, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_Mom Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) A minor quibble ;) but I count only 51 on the list. I'll have to compare it to my set of DVDs. ETA: Found the missing title -- it's MSB - Show and Tell, about archaeology. Edited August 15, 2012 by Maverick_Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfknitter.# Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just tried the coupon and it didn't work with my visa.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Angel_79 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oh thank you for this!!! I am feeling so sick with pg that I can't muster the usual excitement about planning anything for school....this could easily buy me some time until I start to feel better! I also saw the complete Liberty Kids set and put in in the Amazon cart. Would feel bad about nothing but TV learning, but am always shocked at how much all my kids have retained and retold to me after watching both of those series when we get them from the library.

Don't feel bad. Being realistic and then prioritizing where you are going to spend your strength, is being a GOOD mom. I've done my share of video content to save myself for the skills, and it worked out very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I've been trying to read through the thread again (but I read the comments starting with the last one and didn't go through them all....which explains my slight confusion :lol: ). The question I have is: where is the best place to get this right now? At Amazon it's $54.99 with free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Barnes and Noble has it for $47.99, with free shipping. The coupons some people used were on top of that. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-magic-school-bus-the-complete-series/23996153?ean=767685272510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmansWife Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I just tried to get it from BN but the visa coupon seems to have expired. I wasn't going to use the Visa coupon, because I only have a Master Card. I would think they take Master Card, right? Their price without the coupon is still cheaper than Amazon.

Their price without the coupon is still cheaper than Amazon. They do take master card -- that's what I used. I preordered from them because they were a couple dollars cheaper and collect tax, which I prefer so I don't have to deal with it at the end of the year. They shipped it to me on 7/30. Then they lowered the price. The customer service person told me on 7/31! They gave me a price adjustment but those who used a coupon on top of the price paid less. I've decided to let it go and not get stressed about it. sigh. It is still a reasonable price, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmansWife Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was debating on whether or not to put the MSB on my cc right now or not. If I decided to go for it, I would have gotten it online at B&N. Well, my oldest dd went shopping at a mall yesterday (over an hour away)...she had asked if I needed anything and then asked, "Do you need anything at Barnes and Noble?" Which was sooo weird because I've never even been in that store. I'm like...."Well, actually yeah I do". So I gave her $50 to see if they had the set there. She calls me, *after* buying it, asking what price was it supposed to be again. Turns out that in the store it is marked as $79.99 with 30% off. Online it is 40% off. So....I ended up paying more (I owe dd money now). :banghead: OK....I'm trying not to worry about it. Whatever, right? At least I don't have to worry about paying off more on the cc. Youngest dd is watching some episodes right now and really likes them. She has a notebook and after each one she wants to write something she's learned and draw a picture. I'm using the online activity sheets (just the ones I want to end up printing). The set is very nice. I was surprised that the cover of the box has that 3-D kind of look to it.

They are worth what you paid for them seriously! There are people this week who got Draw Write Now for so much cheaper than I got mine, but...I'm getting every penny worth that I paid for mine. Now as for my recent purchase of Calculadder that I was horrifiedly disappointed in, even before my printer died, I'm :crying: instead of :banghead: Magic School Bus is good for prices more than anybody is paying for it right now. It's easily worth $100 when you compare it to other things people are paying $200 and $300 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that I may not have gotten the best price, but it still is a great deal. I'm tickled pink that we have these. Dd is loving it. We just got back from the library and she excitedly was telling the librarian that we got all the MSB episodes. We are home now and dd is eating lunch and watching the MSB. As I was saying before about her writing something after each episode....well, she has also decided to write down what earrings Ms. Frizzle wears on each episode. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsMama Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's totally worth it! I paid 60, and would have paid more. We are watching all the space lessons this week, and doing the BFSU gravity lesson, and then using notebooking pages from Evan-Moor to make an awesome science notebook. Science this year ROCKS!
