marie,
I'm not sure the exact $$ order via Idea. Some bk mom reported that $1x for each DVD. My colleague bought it at RMB 10 in shanghai for each DVD lor~ It's really cheap compared with US version US$150 for whole set (as reported by other bk mom)
Last week, my friend and I went to bought a letterland DVD and CD for holman. For the first time, he didn't really like it but later he likes it very much However, their products are quite expensive
