After she moved out the magic went away IMHO :frown:.

I got the Powerpuff Girls: The Complete Series - 10th Anniversary Collection :excited:. I remember getting a sticker with the "Teacher, may we be excused to save the world?" motto when the series was so brand new it wasn't even on tv yet, I had it for years, and later a Blossom sticker on my PS1:excited:.
In honor of the PPGs birthday I got a sticker of all three of them to put on my PS2:3. Ah..the good old days : (...Bubbles is my favorite : ).
That's on my want list as well, I've always loved that show, I totally want that set.

By the way Red, that's something we have in common cause Bubbles it totally my favorite as well

Aww, that's cool. :smile: I haven't watched that show in such a long time, but I still have body glitter and a Golden Book from when it first came out. ^^ Apparently they're making a new season, too. Heard that from a friend of mine...
They aren't that I know of, they made a new episode just for their birthday though (and showed it on Cartoon Network), it is called "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!" and it is on the last disc of the set to :3. In fact, the only thing not in the set is the movie...

I love Bubbles because of the three she is the most realistic to me :smile:. The idea of being five and having superpowers is what made me watch the show in the first place. It is the reason "Best Rainy Day Ever" is my favorite episode :big_grin:

lady and the tramp platinum edition dvd from someone on ebayexpress.com for only 23.00 dollars brand new factory sealed. I'm so excited that I finally found it relatively cheap!:smile:

Well, forget that! It turns out that the person that I bought it from is selling illegal copies of the movie, and mine was one of them!

That's why I usually try to advoid buying DVDs from people off ebay. People will try to do whatever to make a little extra money and sadly that includes lying to people :mad:.


Whenever I'm looking for out of print DVDs I usually try used DVD shops. there's a place in Colorado Springs called Entertainmart that pretty much sells nothing but use DVDs, most of the time that have nothing but a bunch of the same old crap, but every now and than I get lucky and found something worth getting, I found the Lion King, which made me totally happy. I would say check out places like pawn shops and anywhere else that sells used DVDs.

The best thing to do on ebay is not buy the really cheap DVDs to make sure you get an official copy. It might cost more but you get what you pay for. I have been buying on ebay for eight years and have only bought one bootleg in that time...It's funny, they mostly focus on Disney movies :\

Truth be told no matter what you buy on Ebay you better make sure you know what you're getting.

I'm a huge ebay user (at least I use to be) and I usually for one won't buy from a seller that didn't have at least a good 99% postive feedback rating.

yeah, I try to avoid anyone under a 97% and even then I check and see why they don't have 100%. I did find one version that appears to be the real thing. It's from California, and is 40.00 plust free shipping. This person has pictures of it up, and its from the product itself, showing the slipcover next to the dvd standing up, showing the security label sticker thingy on the top of the box that every Disney dvd has. I'm going to try that, and hope that this one will be real!

Yeah, I'll agree with that! I had another bad experience, only with someone on Amazon. They claimed that they had the Empereor's New Groove 2 disc ultimate groove edition dvd from a few years ago. She didn't, it turned out to be a crappy printed label, on both the disc, and for the dvd case label, burned on some gold bottomed disc, not clear like real dvds.

I would dare say that if a seller post pictures of all that stuff, it's a safe bet that it's the real thing.

Good luck in finding your Lady and the Tramp DVD. I'll be screaching for that one sometime soon myself.

Thanks! Good luck to you to. If you do decide to get yours off of ebay, watch out for chris29600. Thats the person who is still selling fake sopies of the movie
