I was going to be cheeky and give today’s update a miss after a pretty mad week welcoming several new staff members aboard Animated News & Views (more on those good folk soon!), but really couldn’t let the weekend pass without pointing you in the direction of Amazon’s seemingly unofficial price drops on select Hanna-Barbera sets from Warner Home Entertainment!

I’ve been meaning to pick up quite a few of these fairly costly sets for ages now but just had to cave in when I saw the current prices. There doesn’t seem to be any specific promotion going on, so it’s luck of the draw if you don’t take advantage, but with many of these titles going for almost 50% off suggested retail, how could you afford to miss out?

Here are some of the bargains I just popped in my shopping cart:

• Dastardly & Muttley: The Complete Series – $15.49, down from $34.98

• The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop: The Complete Series – $15.49, down from $34.98

• Top Cat: The Complete Series – $23.99, down from $44.98

• Wacky Races: The Complete Series – $15.49, down from $34.98

• The Huckleberry Hound Show: Volume One – $24.49, down from $44.98

• Jonny Quest: The Complete First Season – $23.99, down from $39.98

• The Flintstones: The Complete First Season – $23.99, down from $39.98

• In addition, there’s a 25% discount on the pre-order for next Tuesday’s Wait Till Your Father Gets Home: The Complete First Season going for $33.69 instead of $44.98.

I’m going to plug a reminder that buying through our Amazon-affiliated page links directly from Animated Views contributes a small sum to our kitty and allows us keep the content coming here on the site. As always, it’s much appreciated, and helps our reviewers do their good work!

Have a great weekend! – Ben
