I saw it at Walmart for like $40. I think it has the first one through to the eighth one. I'm thinking about getting it.

Glad you ended-up getting it. I went on Ebay and ended up getting all of the Jason films, plus an 18" figure, plus the "Crystal Lake Memories" book, a tshirt, and the playing cards in a single auction. All of it for $30.
I already had a few of the movies on VHS and DVD, but I couldn't turn the offer down.
My only regret is that the Crystal Lake box set you got also has a special features disk that I'd love to get ahold of, but no one seems to be offering it by itself. I wouldn't even know how to find it on Ebay if anyone WAS offering it.
They'll likely never release a box set for the entire series because Paramont did the first 8 (which is why they're all called Friday the 13th, part whatever), and Newline Cinema took it over after that. THey were required ot drop the name and change it to Jason, so now there's:
Part 9:"Jason goes to Hell"
Part 10:"Jason X"
Part 11:"Freddy versus Jason"
In February they're doing a new one though, and it's a remake of the first 3 films, called "Friday the 13th". (The trailer for it looks AWESOME!)
There's also a "His name is Jason" documentary coming out on Starz soon.
They're also re-releaseing an uncut version of Part 1 (the theatrical version was cut in-order to achieve an R rating), and parts 2 & 3.. From what I understand, they're coming out on Blu-ray Disk, but hopefully they'll also be availible on DVD.
Can't wait!

I think I saw a preview of it. I'm not sure I'm sold on it yet. It was of a fast moving Jason. I'm hoping they don't change too much. Rob changed too much, in my opinion, from the Halloween/Michael Myers movies.
