Sorry Jeff, but you'd lose that bet.
The disks were released by Warner Bros. on 12-6-05. My letter to
Netflix would've been written shortly thereafter, but I don't have an
exact date. I'd guess that it was between 12-10 to 12-15.
Jeff, I never GOT any of the dvds. After all this time, they're still
sitting near the top of my queue. All of them STILL say "Very Long
Wait". Nothing has changed.
If you're really interested in my situation, I encourage you to put
"Superman the Animated Series, Volume 2" on YOUR queue, just to see
what it tells you. Please let me know. Does it say "Very long wait"?
If so, are you a frequent or infrequent renter?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
