Curious If DVD Set Is Legit . . .

I believe I have seen that set at Costco, and I have never known them to have illegal merchandise.

I have a perfectly good complete set of these DVDs (the real deal) which I could sell to you. Please note that some of the covers are not in the best shape, but the DVDs themselves are perfect. Let me know. thanks!

My father in law gave us a set and it is great. Same comments as the first post!

My daughter loved the Mozart dvd and HATED Bach. She screamed when I put that on. I think it was because you can't dance to Bach.

She LOVED Van Gogh from an early age and still loves it today.

Hi E.!

Last year I purchased a 26-disk set off of Ebay, and it's great! We haven't watched all the DVD's yet, but they are just like brand new and we are loving them!

Good luck with your purchase and enjoy!

I bought the 26 disk set off ebay about a year ago for about $50. It was definitly legit. They all come in a small box with sleeves to hold each one. They aren't in seperate dvd cases. I would try a couple to see if your children like them. My daughter didn't pay attention to them at all. Good luck

Hi, E.. I've seen it at Costco. Sometimes, some big retailers, i.e., Costco, Target, BabiesRUs, etc., would get into a license agreement with the manufacturer, about special deals or products they (the retailer) is only allowed to sell and consumer will not be able to get that product anywhere else. By doing this, like Costco or Target, for example, they can order a large order (quantity-wise) in discounted price and because they're the only ones selling the product, hence consumer would only go to their store. Good luck, those Baby Einsteins, are great.

I'm not real sure what your asking, but I bought one of those sets at Costco about 4 years ago. He Loved all but one of the DVD's, and now I'm using them for the one year old who loves them as well.

There have been several studies and has been aired on NPR
There are several books on development + activities

I bought a set like that Christmas 2007 - it's the real deal as far as I can tell. They are in a fairly small box with a sleve book so they don't take up too much space, which is nice.
I'm not sure what all to tell you, but I got a great deal for them online as well, can't remember how much now, but I want to say well under $100 - maybe $60'ish.
I bought them for my daughter, now 19 mo. She hasn't seen them all yet, but I feel as though I don't need to buy anymore Baby Einsein videos - ever. It's a good set. Since then I found a few individual videos on eBay but I checked the set first to make sure I didn't already have them, and I do.
If there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to email me directly.

We used the CD set and loved them. We purchased them nine years ago when they first came out. My daughter excelled at everything and we gave credit to the Einstein series.

E.,
My son loved his Baby Einstein DVDs however, I would buy them off of Ebay or Craigslist instead of buying them new. You can find them for a fraction of the cost. They are pretty short but very entertaining.

Hi E.,

I agree with the other moms that advise to get them on ebay or craigslist. My daughter LOVED the DVDs....and we only had about 4 or so of them because she wanted to watch the same ones over and over again. The only reason we bought other ones was because my husband and I were the ones that got tired of hearing the same DVD over and over again. My daughter actually preferred the older ones over the newer, better-produced ones. So I think you should just gradually get the videos one by one rather than the whole set. I doubt you'd be able to get to all of them anyway....my daughter was done watching them before she was 2.

Yes, I have purchased this set. I have seen it at Costco. I have not seen them all. They are okay but my 3rd child doesn't watch as much TV as my first. I might just opt to buy a few and make sure your kids enjoy them. Another set I suggest is Leap Frog--Letter Factory, Math Circus ect...I got mine on Amazon.com. It is really a good set for preschool.

Good luck!

I purchased a 10 DVD set off Craigslist about 4 years ago.
They ended up being copies and some of them won't play.
I tried to contact the person and of course there was no response. Luckily it was not too expensive.
If you don't have a good feeling about the purchase then don't buy it.

Bought mine off eBay when it was a 17 disk collection. It was legit, and almost 4 years later, my boys still love watching them!

Personally I'd say just buy a few second hand dvd's instead of 26. I don't see how you'd ever get around to watching them all and they'd be taking up more space. I always see these at childrens resale shops. Kids ,little ones ,they all seem to like to watch the same one over again.

I have a set so I know for a fact that it is legit! Then again, I bought it @ Costco, not on a website where I did not see the product physically. My daughter absolutely loved them! It was a great tool to teach her to recognize shapes, sounds, colors, music, sign language, etc! It was a little expensive, but we used that set for 5 years! Money well spent!
