There seems to be some confusion about the MSRP on this set. In the
listing for it at www.tvshowsondvd.com, the MSRP is given as $69.99.
It's possible that Image initially gave this as the MSRP, and Best Buy
put that in their database, and never updated it.

This has happened before. When Image started releasing the current
"Definitive Edition" TWILIGHT ZONE sets, the first season was MSRP'd
at $119.99 because it included a copy of Marc Scott Zicree's book THE
TWILIGHT ZONE COMPANION in it. The later sets were MSRP'd at
$99.99, but the second season mistakenly got listed at the $119.99 price
in Images original solicitation. Best Buy had marked down the set based
on the higher price rather than the corrected price.
