Where do you purchase your albums?

Please tell me where to find the best price

I order basically every book, movie, CD, or game that I get off of Amazon. \:D/

I know that this post is supposed to be about where you purchase your odyssey albums but I'm having a tough time with a certain issue. I received some gift cards from Focus on the Family for purchasing anything I want from the Focus on the Family bookstore and I KNOW that I want to buy something Odyssey. I already own several albums and I know that I want to buy an album in the range between #29: Signed, Sealed and Committed to #33: Virtual Realities but I'm not sure which one I should get. What do you guys think? Oh, I have posted on here before about where I buy my albums so if you want to look at my previous post that is fine but I buy most of my albums at the Focus on the Family bookstore since my mom works there and I get a good discount and because I already live in Colorado Springs, which is incredibly convenient.

I would get Virtual Realities, but those are all great albums and that's a tough decision.

My personal opinion would probably be #29 Signed, Sealed, and Committed. It has For Whom The Wedding Bells Toll, Amazing Grace, and The One About Trust. It's definitely not one of the best albums, but I'd say it's better than #33, #31, and #30. However, #32 would also be another good choice with Malachi's Message. It has to do a lot with personal preference.

It depends. The Novacom Saga I purchased from Lemstone. But when I bought #44 Eugene Returns and AIO Live I went through Barnes & Noble.com since I get a membership discount.

I would go with either #32 Hidden Treasures. (Awesome episodes like The Devil Made Me Do It, Telemachus, and Malachi's Message) or #33. #29-31 are probably some of my least favorite episodes. You live in Colorado Springs. :D I live in Colorado too!

As far as buying albums, I have up to Album 41 all on Cassette, so I am checking the CD's out of my library and downloading them onto ITunes so I can listen on my IPod. I am too poor right now to buy all the old episodes on CD. It's gonna take me some time. :D

Back in the 90s, me and my brother and sisters would save our allowances, and Daddy would pitch in and he'd take us to the Christian book store and we'd pick out an album. Fun times.

But with the internet becoming widely popular and the birth of eBay and Amazon, we soon began buying them from those websites. \:D/ But no more trips to the bookstore. :boohoo:

I just bought the Novacom set and BTV: Live from Family Christian Stores. I had the help of a 20% off sale and a 25% off coupon to help make the price more bearable.

When I was younger, I believe we got our albums from our local Christian bookstore and CBD. Now, I'm in charge of most of our Odyssey buying, and my seller of choice is usually Amazon, occasionally CBD if Amazon doesn't have what I want in stock (a la the Novacom Saga and BTV: Live! \:D/)
