Figures, I made the journey to Target yesterday, had this in my hand, but didn't want to pay the regular price.

Naturally, it goes on sale the next day.

I suppose I could ask my friend who lives near there to pick me up a set.

 

[Tim Glover]

Good work Mike, again!

Already pre-ordered the HD-DVDs for Casablanca & Accepted....

King Kong HD-DVD is tempting me after Mr. Robert Harris' high approval thread

 

[nolesrule]

Just Family Guy this week. I'll probably pick up Quantum Leap later on.

 

[Patrick Sun]

[Mike Frezon]

Did you write them all down?!

I do that all the time and figure store managers are gonna freak that I'm stealing top-secret information or, even worse, giving their department an inspection!

 

[Patrick Sun]

I have the Wal-Mart flyer. YMMV as to whether or not the titles are on sale at your local Wal-Mart.

 

[Jason_V]

I was over at WalMart first thing yesterday morning to see about grabbing some Smallville. They didn't have a single set for any season on the shelf. There were S1 and S2 stickers (14.88), but not a set to be found. I left, half thankful that I didn't blow about $50 I didn't have to.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Somebody was looking out for you!

 

[Mike Frezon]

A quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout-out to regular RoundUpper Joe "nolesrule" Kauffman.

 

[Jason Hughes]

Any good deals on The Proposition?

Thanks,

Jason

 

[Joe-Frietze]

Thanks Mike. Ugh... what a week.
Two must buys - NCIS season 2, Looney Tune Golden v. 4, both from DDD @ 20% off tomorrow it looks like.

Reeeeeeealllllyyyyy want - Homicide complete series - but just can't swing it.

Pass on - DaVinci (so-so in theater), Kong (already too long), CSI 6 (used sale at GameStop will cover this one).

But I still need to buy already released from DDD this week - Doctor Who series 1, House (S1 and S2), and a few series of As Time Goes By - for my X-Mas shopping.

Ugh.....

 

[Mike Frezon]

Joe: Didja see my earlier post about CSI: Season 6 at DDD? I've been picking up all the CSI sets used, just like you. But, I actually think the DDD sale miht be cheaper. My local shops usually put CSI season sets at $49.99+

 

[Mike Frezon]

Jason: Out of curiosity, I looked into your question and found no "The Proposition" released this week. I found this...but Amazon.com says it was released a couple of months ago:

 

[Scott_J]

Thanks for the prices, M&P.

Looney Tunes 4, Green Mile, Quantum Leap 5, Strangers With Candy for me this week.

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

Costco has a great deal on the Homicide: Life on the Street Complete Series Megaset. They have it for $157. You could add the price of a Costco membership to that and still come out ahead of the price at most other outlets.

Regards,

 

[EricSchulz]

Got some pricing on unadvertised new release titles at Target today:
Gunsmoke: $29.99
DaVinci Code Gift Set: $59.99
Looney Tunes V4: $49.99 (Spotlight Collection is $22.99)
King Kong EE: $24.99
Masters Of Horror: $9.99
Forbidden Planet: $19.99
Strangers With Candy: $19.99

 

[george kaplan]

Costco had some great prices:

Looney Tunes Golden Collection - 39.79
Lassie (which I bought for my wife & son) - $17.49
The Green Mile - $8.99 (not a typo)

 

[Mike Frezon]

George: Didja notice if CostCo had King Kong: Deluxe Extended Edition? And price?

Even though I don't have a Costco near me, it might help me gauge what BJ's Wholesale Club's price might be.

That Green Mile price has me re-thinking my DDD strategy for this week. 20% off at DDD on Green Mile puts it at $11.84. And...I was just about to pull the trigger!

 

[george kaplan]

I'm sorry Mike, but I didn't notice about King Kong. I was there with the wife and kid, and it was hectic, and since I haven't seen the film yet, it's not on my list.

 

[Bill Thomann]

Got my Looney Tunes Gold & Green Mile at CC today. Couldn't believe that they didn't get any copies in of KIng Kong EE. Ended up grabbing their flyer & going next door to Wal Mart (who was selling it for $28.86) & pricematching it there for $24.99 (& I had a $5 Wal Mart gift card I'd forgotten about that knocked the after tax total to $21.75).
