I'm hearing little birds tell me the set has a street date of Nov 5th.

You're not the only one. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif The
TV Shows on DVD site is also reporting a November 5th release date. (You have to remember, new DVDs are usually released once a week in the U.S., on Tuesdays, so you will always have batches of new discs arriving on the same day. This year there are four Tuesdays in November prior to Thanksgiving day, and every one of them is going to be packed with releases that could overshadow
B5.)
They're also reporting that the MSRP will be $99.98 (USD). So the street price should be around $80.00 with the typical 20% discount, and deep-discount dealers may sell it for as little as $60.00.
So far no U.S. DVD site that I've seen is accepting pre-orders on the set. They're probably awaiting the official announcement of the dealer price and/or MSRP so they can set their sell price.
But
Blackstar (in the UK)
is accepting pre-orders for the R2 release, reporting a release date of October 14th and an MSRP of £49.99. (About $78 USD, so in line with U.S. prices and a bargain compared to what was charged for the first two discs.) They don't have a cover photo up as yet, since no one knows if the UK and US editions will have the same artwork.
