Canadian dollars?
I contacted Total Action Universe to find out why there was such a lower price than elsewhere, such as a limited quantity, and got this answer:
"This is a great price on the "Babylon 5: Second Season" and it is only for a limited time (pre-order special). It began last week and I am advised that it will not last too much longer (since it is a very good price), there is not a limited quantity, but it is a limited time. I hope that this helps
clear things up."

Play.com are taking R2 pre-orders:

They get all their info directly from the distributors, so it's almost certainly right. Also, I believe Amazon.co.uk didn't start taking pre-orders for Season 1 until about a month after Amazon.com did.

I am a little surprised about the classifiaction PG, the Season 2 VHS has a 12 classification.
Although Warner Brothers made the same mistake in Season 1.

Re: Babylon 5 Season 2 - More on ordering from TAU
I went to order the S2 DVD from the Total Action website and discovered the ordering basket identified the price as 79.99. I contacted them again and got a further clarification. Their system is not currently set-up to display orders in U.S. dollars. All dollar amounts are Canadian dollars. Moreover, the U.S. price of $49.38 shown was the exchange rate for the day it was posted. Exchange rates change every day, sometimes several times a day, so the actual cost will depend on when you order it. Also, some U.S. banks charge a fee for making the conversion when they get the credit card order from Canada. So, before you order from Total Action you might want to consider checking the current exchange rate and ask your bank what they charge, if anything, for making the exchange. Right now the exchange rate is .6569, so the cost is a buck more than is listed on their website. It's still a very good deal.

Well, assuming that video classifications have been altered in line with movie classifications, there is no 12 certificate anymore.
The movie certificate above PG is now 12A, which means that anyone below 12 can see the movie provided they are accompanied by an adult. The first age barred certificate is now 15.
I don't see how it would make sense to certify a DVD box set as 12A, so PG is the obvious alternative.
Also, criteria change over time, so it could just be that we are several years on from the VHS release and the content no longer warrants higher than a PG.
As an example, the original Terminator movie was an 18, whereas T2, which I thought was just as violent and intense as the first one, was a 15. That's is what the passage of 8 years can do for you.

No. The 12 classification has been kept for DVDs and VHS cassettes. This simply means that an adult or teenager has to buy it. People are not asked what happens when they take the movie home.
