Just went to Best Buy in Alderwood to get Diner at Eight, but all they had was Philly and Baby. No box set either.

Picked up Bambi at Wal*Mart this morning with the coupon. Mike & Jeff: My coupon, printed on a B&W inkjet, worked without a hitch. It was around 5:45am, and I think the cashier was so tired that she would have let me have the discount if the coupon didn't scan, but it scanned just fine. Final price w/tax: $13.82. Sweet! Thanks to TonyD for the link!

Thanks for the roundup Mike! I like it the way it is. If I need to know online price comparisons, I use dvdpricesearch.com. You provide a valuable service in summarizing B&M prices which can be surprisingly competitive in some cases.

Is Warners having another distribution problem with Classic Comedies or did they simply underestimate demand.

In addition to all the above comments about not being able to find it, I pre-ordered this from Amazon in early January and it still hasn't shipped. (Amazon is stating a 5 to 6 day delivery period for this title.)

Didn't the Gangsters and Legends sets have similar issues?

I have to make another trip to Best Buy to pricematch today's Frys ad price of $19.99 for Brady Bunch.

Actually, that new store will probably be open to the public tomorrow (the new store in Oak Creek has its 'quiet opening' here on Thursday.) They tend to do alot of "New Store Specials" during the first month of opening, but they tend to be more of the commodity items, like Charmin, diapers, Coke/Pepsi, etc. There will probably be some deals on electronics items, but I don't recall them doing much in the DVD/CD area. I will be trying to hit the new store here next week so if I see anything of interest, I'll post it in next weeks column.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I just want to take the time to advise anyone buying Bambi to print a $5 rebate coupon that Joe Gido linked in THIS THREAD .

It basically says buy Bambi, buy three boxes of Jolly Time popcorn and get $5. Let me emphasize you do NOT need a proof-of-purchase from the DVD packaging!

I think Bambi is turning out to be one of the DVD bargains of 2005!

 

[GlennH]

Not that I really care, but I feel like Rodney. I posted the link to the coupon from DVDTalk in this thread more than a day before TonyD, but he's getting all the love. What's up with that?

I tell ya, "No respect at all!"

 

[Mike Frezon]

:b C'mon guys, Glenn's feelin' left out. You know what that means!

Group hug time!

RE: Brotherhood of the Wolf



Except, I believe the extras in the Canadian version are all in French, and they will be translated into English for this release. All of the behind-the-scenes stuff and the like. That's the reason I didn't pull the plug and get the Canadian version a few years ago.

[Joe-Frietze]

THANKS GLENN!!!

Ok, now does anyone have a resized version of the coupon they could post? My image editing software on my PC at work is giving me headaches today. (Thanks for the upgrade, IT guys!)

-Joe

 

[GlennH]

Mike, Joe, you're so kind. Now I feel better.

Joe, I e-mailed you a Word doc with the coupon in an appropriate size. Hope you can use that. It scanned fine at Target for me.

 

[Scott_J]

Thanks for the info on Target's opening Eric. I saw on the news they had their ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday so it makes sense they would open earlier. I may swing by tomorrow after work to check it out.

 

[Joe-Frietze]

FYI: A friend who had one open in his neighborhood reported 10% off on DVDs.

Good luck!

-Joe

 

[TonyD]

thanks glenn.
the $3 off was the deal maker for me.

 

[BrettB]

Can anyone help me out on the coupon? I too am at work stuck with a Giant-Size coupon from hell.

 

[GlennH]

Sent it to you too Brett.

 

[BrettB]

Thanks Glenn.

well, I went into WALGREENS to get a Bambi-and they have a piss-poor DVD selection-when I asked for BAMBI they had to go in the back room and look for it.
It was $22.99-so with their $5 off coupon- $17.99-nuts-I knew I could do better so, I went to my local FRED MEYER, where it was being sold (normal price) for $19.99-I asked the clerk if they took competitors coupons, and she said "Why not?".
So I got mine for $14.99+tax coulda been worse

Oh yeah-and people get ready!

RED DWARF 5+6 are coming out March 15-
THE BEST PRICE SO FAR IS $42.00 for the set, (at todays exchange rate) DELIVERED-from DVDSOON.COM in Canada
