I can't find Clone Wars anywhere.

Are you guys getting it pre-order somewhere?

Yesterday I picked up Dukes of Hazard and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

Just picked up The Muppet Movie and Emmit Otter's jug band Christmas for the kids for Christmas.

The price really depends on the market. Some Wal Marts have the 2 disc for $13.97 er whatever wacky price. The Target bonus disc is really crappy, however.

Includes:

The Baxter Building: Declassified - 6 min, 45 sec
Fantastic Four: Comic Book to Film - 3 min, 50 sec
Trailers: Daredevil, Electra, X2, LxG

So, 10 minutes of features, and old trailers to mostly crappy comic book movies, as opposed to a 50 minute documentary on the making of the movie for anywhere from $0.00 to $4. It's all up to the buyer.

Thanks for the info. I actually bought the movie as a stocking stuffer for my nephews. My only interest with the movie -- and I'll have to wait until after Christmas to borrow it -- is in watching the parts with Jessica Alba.  :P

My point was more along the lines of gauging how successful or popular this program is for Walmart. I went to one Walmart today and saw a bin (mis?)marked $9.44 and filled with around 5 different types of bonus packs, including Million Dollar Baby and Troy. (ROTS was not one of the movies.) If this is widespread, it appears they'll have to refine the idea.

Went way overboard today.  Too many sales not to. 








Also picked these up in the $5 bin at Walmart

Best in Show is in the $5.00 bin. Bah! I paid like $15.00 for it over a year ago and still haven't opened it.  :)

I picked up Sin City, 40YO Virgin, and Airplane. I really debated the Peter Jackson King Kong Diaries set for a while. I just don't go for all that extra crap and just want the DVDs. I couldn't quite bring myself to get it. I might rethink on the ride home.

I'm going to go through my list tomorrow and head out to Best Buy - it's a big big week though, I'm going to try to keep it under $100 even if I have to cut out a few titles.  Lucky me that I have twenty dollars worth of reward zone certificates that came this week...

I picked up the 40 YO Virgin (The last Widescreen copy in the entire store, even) and Clone Wars Volume 2.

$30 for Sin City is ridiculous, and they're will most definately be a 2 disc "The Island", so I ain't going to fall for a barebones edition @ $17.

Got Death Race 2000 and Airplane, though. Came across Big Top Pee Wee in the death bin the other night, and copped the 2 disc Dinosaur. Wal Mart's throwing the OFOTCN 2 Disc SE in the $5 dollar bin? They're still selling it for $20 here....

I'm more amazed that One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest was in there.  That's a great price for a truly outstanding movie.

Will pick up 40YOV, Airplane and Sin City.  Just need to figure out who has them cheapest and price match at Best Buy for RZ points.

Yeah, I was really stoked about the $5 flicks.  They had these on a display next to the big dump bin that is the aisle outside of electronics in Walmart.  They had maybe 15-25 titles.  Others were T3, Mighty Wind, Gremlins, Empire Records, Superman, TMNT, a bunch of Bogart titles, Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, Caddyshack, etc.

Sin City is $26 in one of  the ads I've got here somewhere...  And it's a director's cut and there's a cheaper crappier option available - so the price is fair if you as me.

As for the Island, it's in one of the ads for $14.99 and I've got a $3.00 coupon that came with War of the Worlds - so forget $17.00, I,m paying $12.00

$5 for the 2-Disc One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, which I paid $20 for? Very nice buy. I'll have to go rummaging around for the Superman and The Shining, if they're also $5, now.

Brad, the Cuckoos Nest was only the single disc version.  I did not even realize I linked the 2-disc :P
