This 3 disk collection is available from buy.com for $12.63! I ordered mine on 7-19 and it shipped on 7-20 (with e-mail confirmation) with a UPS delivery date of 7-27. The cheapest that I've seen this anywhere is $35.
Perhaps there's a new release that's only the three holiday specials (none of the extras) on a single disc and Buy.com is using old descriptions/photos?
Obviously someone at Buy.com made a mistake. I ordered it right away yesterday after checking prices on bargainflix.com even though it had a 8/24/04 release date. Today the price is back to normal, but it says it will ship in 1-2 days. My order is stil processing (sent to warehouse). So we'll see what happens.
You can still order this from Bestprices.com for $11.79 plus shipping costs. According to posts over at DVDTalk they are shipping orders and honoring the price.
According the the UPS tracking web site, mine arrived this morning. However, I won't know the condition until I get home. Still, can beat it for the price!
Well, all was well with my shipment. Packaging was in perfect condition. So happy I got in on this, also. I was looking at paying between $35-$40 for it later this year (before the holidays).
Did you get a confirmed price of $11.79? When I looked it certainly advertised $11.79, but when I clicked on description it came up with this:
Peanuts - Classic Holiday Collection Gift Set (New DVD Movie) - Actors: Peanuts Gang Directed by: ---- Studio: Paramount Home Entertainment Our Price:$28.40 Retail: $39.99 You Save: $11.59! (29%) Pre-Order (Notify me when it comes in!) Part Number: 097361561448IE--Release: 08/24/2004
Also, I tried putting it in my shopping cart and it came up $28.40.
Looks like BestPrices finally fixed the price. I ordered a copy on 7/22 for $11.79. Here are my order details below. However, I am still waiting for them to ship my order. It appears they are going to make me wait for the 8/24 release date.
I ordered mine on July 28th and it was $11.79 also but it's on pre-order status.
