TLAVideo is taking preorders for the following Falcon sets:

The Other Side of Aspen 1 and 2 - $79.99

The Other Side of Aspen 3,4, and 5 - $89.99

It's a tremendous deal on Falcon DVDs, if you don't already have them. PLUS, if you receive the TLAVideo newsletter, you get an extra %15 off these prices!

(Looks like these are actually the edited versions, which is suprising, since TLA usually gets Falcon's director's cuts.) O h well, it's still a pretty good deal.

Is V any good? I'm kind of leaning towards getting the second set (3,4 and 5). The only one I've seen so far is the edited version of 1, which only lasts like 35 minutes. Seems to me the second set is a much better deal.

Here is a run down on the technical aspects of part 5:

I bought the "retail version" dvd. There is a "directors cut dvd" for part 5.

Overall, the picture image is very good. A few of the Falcon dvds that I own have terrible video image - lots of grain and not much better than the VHS version. Not so here, the picture quality is much better than the VHS version.

The retail version feature is about 80 minutes, plus 3 minutes for credits at the end and about 6 minutes for 2 trailers. Total time is about 89 minutes.

The 2 trailers are FVP 132 - Bad Behavior and FVP 136 Bounce.

The menu on the feature has been improved. There are 5 scenes on this flick. When you select a scene, it will give you a breakdown of the action - foreplay, rimming, oral, anal, orgasm and you can jump directly to what interests you. Kind of a nice feature for dvds.

Between the 2 TLA special deals, I think the set one with aspen 1 and 2 is a bit pricey, especially when aspen 1 is only like 38 minutes or so. (I must say that I really like the type of men on part 1 though.)

Set two is probably a better deal since you get 3 flicks for about $30 bucks each before the 15% TLA customer discount.

Hmmmm, I only have to figure out what to do, maybe i'll try to sell my part 5 and buy the box set 2......

On Falcon's web site, the 2-disc, 3-disc & 5-disc (!) sets are listed in the director's cut section as well as in the regular section - with identical order codes and pricing! There have been several times in the past when director's cut DVDs were sold through "regular" channels. It will be interesting to see what these actually are once they are delivered.

I just picked up the second set... total came to around $78 after budget shipping and the discount. That's only $26 per movie!

I check out Falcon's website, and they are selling the director's cut for $179! That's well over twice as much! I don't care how much fisting, pissing and/or huge dildos are in the director's cut... there's no way in hell it could be worth that much more.

I also noticed that they just came out with the Abduction 3 DVD set .... hopefully that'll show up at TLA sometime soon at a similar discount.

Joe,

What I meant by my late-night ramblings was that on the Falcon website, the sets are listed in both the general release section and the "director's cut" section; however, there is no difference in their price or order code on Falcon's web site - regardless of the section in which they are listed - leading me to believe that there might be only one version of the sets.

The next questions are: where did you find your set and which is it - general release or director's cut?

Hmm, when I went to Falcon, I just clicked on Search->Find DVDs. The Aspen sets were listed at the top of the page. I didn't find any release or director's cut "section" at their site. The descriptions to the ones I found were definately the director's cuts, though. I went ahead an ordered the cheaper set from TLA. No idea if they are edited or not. I guess I'm not too worried about it... I like to buy uncensored stuff on principle, but I very rarely really enjoy fisting anyway...

Anyone else annoyed at how slow TLA is shipping product? These Aspen sets supposively came out 11/8, but I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, and they haven't even charged my card yet. Anyone receive theirs yet?

My sets were delivered on Wednesday, Nov 12th via post office media mail shipping. They were packed in a real card board box rather than those padded jiffy bags they seem to use for virtually everything else. I live in Los Angeles and the packing list shows an order date of 10/18 and a packing date of 11/6 so it looks like it took about a week for the post office to deliver the sets to me.

I haven't had the time to open the sets yet, but the box slip cover housing the individual dvds looks VERY flimsy. I think the clam shell boxes that McDonalds uses for their burgers are stronger.

Mine arrived the day before yesterday (the 13th). I ordered all 5 of the Falcon Aspen titles as well as the C1R Oral/Detention director's cut pair. The sets arrived in a proper cardboard box. The set slip cases are a joke - little better that a throw-away glossy paper wrapper. Oh well.

At least, by buying the 3 sets and with the set prices, the 15% discount and the free shipping, it wasn't too bad a deal. I would have liked to have gotten the director's cut versions of the Aspen titles but I'm not willing to pay the extra dollars to buy them from Falcon's site.
