Hi, I am completely new (sorta) to the Aeon Flux world and I was wondering what sort of material was out there (videos, DVDs, etc.). I used to watch the show back when it was on liquid television when I was young and never could comprehend any of it due to my youth. Now there is the internet and I remember being intrigued by the show and wanting to know more. Back then there was practically no information available especially to a 8 / 9 year old. I would like to know more about the series and would appreciate any information as to where to start (places to buy the series in entirity?). any response is appreciated, ~~~~Jeremy ( debonair@subdimension.com )

Jeremy, You've come to the right place. The best source of information right now is right here on this board. Check out the archive of topics and you'll find answers to just about anything Aeon Flux- related imaginable. It's truly a treasure trove of trivia! Over the years, a lot of the key creative staff of the show have dropped in and have offered their reflections. You'll have to dig a bit, and you'll waste hours trying to find the answers to those nagging questions. I'd suggest starting from the bottom and working your way up.

The Aeon Flux DVD is currently out of print, and is selling on Amazon for $170. Your best bet is to get the three-volume box set of VHS tapes. It contains all the episodes ever produced, including the Liquid T.V. shorts. Some minor corrections were done to the masters before the video release, so these versions are preferred over the versions which aired on MTV. Get them while you still can...

Wow, I'm glad I got my DVD when I did...

Both buy.com and cduniverse.com have the box set reasonably priced. No sign of the DVD though.

$170!!!!!!!!!!!??! WOW!! when did that happen?!? that's crazy! glad i bought mine last year for $20..

Mr. Chung is correct. Check out Amazon, the sellers name is custom pc 4u, and the price is $170.00. Brand new, unwrapped, rare out of print dvd. If you got it for $20.00 I'm taking it to be unwrapped, a vhs or used. Collector's like things pristine.
