Default Good blind buy?

I just ordered Heroes S1/S2, and Band of Brothers. I continue to hear nothing but good things about all of these. Of all three sets, i've only watched a few episodes from S1 of Heroes, and none of season two , and none of Band of Brothers. Bought them through Amazon for $122 total, seemed like too good of a deal to pass up.

Good purchase?

Your gonna love Band of Brothers, everything about it rocks (i.e. story, visuals, audio, etc...) worth the $122 alone imo.

Great purchase, Band Of Brothers is very good, Heroes Season 1 is amazing. Unfurtunatly Heroes Season 2 is not as good, I found it good but after the great buzz of Season 1 it's a bit of a let down.

If anyone is into netflix. they have Band of Brothers on blu, all 6 discs. So you could check the first one if you're not sure. But I'm sure it is great!

OK, so should I swap the Heroes S1/S2 set for just Season 1($65 though), and add on the Austin Powers set... will be $30 more total. Or Keep the set and get the S2 of Heroes for just $11 over S1 solo, and add Austin Powers Set, then sell the S2 lol?

for $11, you can't go wrong with Season II

I will say, nothing was as good as season I but the story is so broken up, it is like they tried to pull a Lost like story timeline and it gets lost with so much going on - they are getting there though...

Once Band of Brothers gets under $40, I will be all over it.
