Where to look for Disney Treasures?

[Joe1086]

Where can I get good deals on the OOP Disney Treasures tin editions? Is there anything I should be aware of when purchasing? I have noticed some imports look like the R1 copies, is there anything else?

[Jackskeleton]

perhaps ebay or half.com or even the exchange forum.

[TomOpus]

I'll second the Exchange Forum. Check there first and help a fellow DVDTalker out.

That's how I recently picked up Mickey Mouse in Living Color Wave 1

[Class316]

For MMILC you're better off with a non-R1 as you'll pay a crap load for it. ($60-$120)

[ThatGuamGuy]

Join the Disney DVD club. They've got the four Wave 1s for $130 and the three Wave 2s for $100. You can't buy them seperately, but I bought Wave 1, sold 'Davy Crockett' on E-bay for $50, sold 'Disneyland' (or 'Behind the Scenes', whichever it is) for $30, and suddenly, it was a really good deal for that color Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphonies.

I haven't done Wave 2 yet. So don't do that. But do wave 1.

I suppose these don't come in tins?

Also, how much is it to join the Disney club?

[Joe1086]

I checked half.com and some people are selling at good prices w/ tins...do these look like good deals?

The cheap ones normally have no tin (and thus no lithograph)

[ThatGuamGuy]

Ah, but you know what happens when you suppose, don't you? You make a supp out of os and e. You're very wrong, they do. Also, your grapes seem sour.

Also, how much is it to join the Disney club?

It costs the total of shipping the three discs they send you for free for joining. [I'd also add, I made a mistake in my initial order and they paid to ship that disc back and give me a different one; unusually great customer service for Disney.] Then you have to buy a certain number of discs over two years (six, give or take one). Luckily, whatever this number is is covered (if not moreso) by the Disney Treasures. Thus, your quota is filled by the very discs which you join in order to buy, and you get three free discs off of 'em to boot.

I was wrong on the price on the Wave 1, it's $120.

All this stuff is covered better in the "bargains" section, though you might have to search to find it. The deal for Wave 1 has been up for at least a year now, though, and still hasn't sold out.

Incidentally, these are *new*, so unless you're getting a guarantee from the half.com seller that it won't be dented, damaged, etc., I'd say DMC is your best bet. They ship 'em in a huge box, they won't get hurt.

[Class316]

wow. So techincally wave 1 and 2 (with tins) are still in print :confused:

[Class316]

Just for the hell of it I went to http://disney.videos.go.com/General/splash and clicked "Don't have a promotional code"

Then I browsed DVDs but couldn't find wave 1 or wave 2 or anything of the sort.

No. They're out of print, in that nobody is printing up new ones anytime soon (or, by my understanding, ever). They're still *available*.

Just for the hell of it I went to http://disney.videos.go.com/General/splash and clicked "Don't have a promotional code"

You can usually even find a good code, especially on the Bargain page. I believe there's one which allows either another free disc or one less required disc to buy. (Not sure, I already joined.)

Then I browsed DVDs but couldn't find wave 1 or wave 2 or anything of the sort.

Okay, just for the guy who's not buying 'em, I'll give you the *exact* method to get this deal.

1) Log-in. (optional)
2) Click "multipacks".
3) They're RIGHT THERE

It's possible that you may only be able to get to the deal if you're a member, but, irregardless, as you have to be a member to get the deal, I don't see the need to quibble over that. (I can't link to the exact page you're linking, as it just defaults it back to my homepage and logs me in automatically.)

Also, you should've been able to find 'Goofy' seperately. (The others have sold out.)

[Class316]

I must be missing something. I did not login but I find no "multipacks". I guess I gotta login?

[ThatGuamGuy]

I must be missing something. I did not login but I find no "multipacks". I guess I gotta login?

It's probably only available/visible to people who are members, yeah.

I tried to find the link from bargains, but it was a while ago, so I couldn't. It's in there somewhere, but somebody who remembers it better than I will have to find it, 'cause I couldn't. But I guarantee you that this deal is 100% real and there for the taking if you want it.

[The Black]

I just shed a tear. The offer is not applicable to non-US customers. I'm very dissapointed. I can't afford to obtain these wonderful dvd's via eBay because of the extraoridinary prices.
Since getting the whole of wave 3, I've really been wanting to purchase the rest of these. It's a shame some feel no remorse for those willing to enjoy a dvd without having to sell a kidney just to be able to afford to purchase these from one's greed-filled soul. Horribly supply and demand has put these people in a position to grin at one wholeheartedly whilst earning money from nothing.
Shame shame shame.

[Class316]

Let's say I order all of wave 1 from there [then sell the ones I don't want on ebay]. How many more DVDs would I have to order? Cause I'm kinda afraid of getting stuck.

Well you can buy MMILC and SS from Holland for very cheap. And as for wave 2 you can still get them at good prices on ebay.

[mmguen]

The Disney Movie Club option is a good one in my opinion.

Try this code - 509423- Get 3 free (plus $1 S&H) with 5 to buy later.

Sign up on the telephone or online. Select 3 free ones, select one more to count as an enrollment for $14.95 (no addl shipping if bought on first order), select one for $9.95 (doesn't count for enrollment).

3 Free + 1 @ 14.95 (1 commitment now) + 1 @ 9.95 + 1.00 S&H = 25.90

Then place a separate order and select the Wave 1 Disney Treasures for your remaining 4 commitments

$119.80 + $6.95 shipping = $126.75

Close account.

Did exactly that...thanks alot for the information

[DrOBoogie1]

Just to be clear (sorry to repeat questions): The Disney Club allows you to buy the complete series 1 and 2 sets - in the tins?

Don't mean to sound skeptical; it just sounds too good to be true!

[ThatGuamGuy]

The Disney Club allows you to buy the complete series 1 and 2 sets

Well, I believe they're called "waves", but yeah... ;)

in the tins?

Uh-huh. Sealed too. Want to know what else? The numbers aren't even *that* high.

And, obviously I can't vouch for *every* tin they send out, but the ones I got were mint condition (that is, undented) and shipped in a huge box that would more or less prevent any damage.

Don't mean to sound skeptical; it just sounds too good to be true!

Which is, I assume, why the deal for wave 1 has been up for almost a year and still not sold out.

(Wave 2 has only been up since March or April.)

It's a *great* deal, and the fact that you can turn around and sell the ones you don't want on E-bay for high profit (sorry to the folks who can't get it any other way; it's the market) just makes it absurd.

[dick_grayson]

how do you close your account? do you have to call the "cast member"?

[El-Kabong]

Sigh - so no way to get them without becoming a member? Thats Teh Suck - there's not 3 disney DVDs I want beyond the Treasures.

So anyone getting in on the deal - if they wind up with an extra Davey Crockett tin (the only one I want) send me a message - I'd like to take it off your hands.

I'll post an update when I get my order

[Pants]

Well you can start by getting a time machine...

[WeeeMaster]

Last time I checked (less than a week ago) Big Emma's had the Disneyland USA Tin brand new in stock for $19.95 + S&H. I know because I ordered one of them... shipped today. It doesn't state whether it comes in the Tin, but it does say New, so I assume so.

www.bigemma.com

Look in the out of print section (DVDs -> Specialty Items -> Out of Print).

[sracer]

It most likely doesn't come in a tin for that price. There are about 20-30 of the Disneyland USA discs on sale on eBay for Buy-it-now of $19.99... and they don't include the tin.

[El-Kabong]

For those of you looking for a Disneyland USA tin - there's one close by my house. I havent been by in a bit to see if they have it still, but if it hasnt sold by the last time I saw it, I doubt it did in the last month.

I'll gladly pick it up. . . in trade for a Davy Crocket tin. :)

[WeeeMaster]

I dunno. We'll see in a week or so. It doesn't particularly matter to me.

UPDATE: The Disney DVD Club is now selling Wave 2 for only $80, instead of the previous $100.

Came in Friday. No tin or insert (the little booklet came w/ it though). Oh well. Doesn't matter to me.

[Joe1086]

Mine still hasnt come in. I got my introductory DvDs two days ago. Does anyone know much longer I should wait. I signed up on the 16th and placed the order for Wave #1. Ive received a order confirmation, just not a shipping confirmation.

[Class316]

Originally posted by Joe1086

[Chooch]

I received the shipping confirmation about a week after I ordered wave 1.

This is on wave 1 order information page:

"Get the ultimate Disney collection now before they're gone! Each limited-edition 2-disc volume comes in a unique, collectible tin case, together now in a must-own 4-pack for a limited time only."

I guess this can be viewed two ways, they used to come with a tin, but now they don't?

If I were you, I'd E-mail them [don't remember the address off-hand, but it's available on the website] and ask them why it hasn't shipped yet ... if you're not rude, if you can politely but firmly explain that you specifically joined the club because you wanted those discs, and that you're worried they'll sell out or your order will be cancelled or something, they should respond, and it'll probably be shipped shortly. [I actually received my Wave I *before* I got my introductory DVDs, though, so I can't say I know exactly what'll happen.]

I know everybody has problems with Disney, and I totally understand them, but I have to say, I've always found the info/help people from their DVD club to be really helpful.

I did notice that they recently updated their site ... 1) lowering the price on Wave II, 2) adding a group of Wave III, and 3) changing the language on Wave I in a way which suggests that supplies are dwindling.

[Joe1086]

Are there any places (preferably online) that still carry the Tomorrowland set?

[wastro]

Originally posted by Joe1086

The few Wal-Marts I've visited lately still carry a ton of all the wave 3 titles.

[Joe1086]

I just called the Disney customer service line to ask what was the problem with my order. The lady was very nice, and she told me that she would make sure that the order was shipped as soon as possible. I was getting nervous. I thought they may have sold out and I missed my chance to get Wave 1.

[MorE808]

I have just been reading this thread. This sounds like an awesome deal and I really wish I would've read it 3 days ago before I ordered 2 Tins from half.com for a pretty penny

Can someone confirm that by doing the Disney movie club you DO infact get the TINS and not just the 2 sets?

This is quite a bit of money to invest, especially considering I just spent a bunch on just 2 tins, but I'd definately do it to get MMILC and the full Treasures collection...

Thanks for all of the information on this deal...

I should know soon (that is whenever they send me my order). I placed it about 2-3 weeks ago. Hmmmm....

[Class316]

Cool! For a little more than the price of Alice in Wonderland DVD on DDD I got that and 4 more. Then I ordered wave 1. I also have Clock Cleaners and The Three Little Pigs on DVD UNCENSORED so this way I'll have all the wave 1 shorts 100% uncensored. And I can probably get at least $50 for Davy Crockett on ebay (I already have signed copy for that one).

I placed that order like 30 minutes ago but I got no email confirmation nor is the order status updated. Is this normal?

[Aaron_H]

I can confirm that the Disney Movie Club deal is legit. I ordered Wave 1 and Wave 2 on 5/20/04 and they shipped on 5/26/04. I received them 6/2/04. I was a little skeptical at first, too, but they did arrive in tins. I thought it was a whole lot better than buying them on eBay.

However, they have recently reduced the price of the Wave 2 from $99 for all 3 to $75.90. I missed out on that. Wave 1 is still listed on the website for $119.80 for all 4. And Wave 3 is now available for $99 for all 4 DVDs.

Also, each DVD in your multi-pack counts as 1 towards your membership agreement. So, if your agreement says you have to buy 5 movies at regular price to fulfill your agreement and you buy Wave 1 (4 tins) that counts as 4 towards your agreement. Wave 2 (3 tins) would count as 3. The Walt Disney Treasures multi-packs are the only multi-packs that count that way.

I just signed up as well, and did not recieve a confirmation email. Though, I did call the customer service line and talked at length with a very helpful woman about the details of this club. Apparently, you cannot make your second "commitment" order until after you have recieved your initial 3 freebies + 2...Maybe that is why some of you have been waiting so long on recieving your orders?

Thanks again to those who shared this excelent find with us, it was extremely helpful, and saved me a ton of money on getting some of these DVDs that I have been wanting for months (years even)

Kudos...

I just received my wave 1 tins. I ordered them on the 18th and they were here when I got home from work today.

You know, once I get these I think I'll buy some more wave 1 and 2 so I can make some $$$$ on ebay!

I hope they’re with tins and everything.

I’ll also have to decide how to get rid of Davy Crockett (since I have it) and possibly Disneyland USA (since it’s censored)

And I hope the Nightmare Before Christmas is the widescreen and not fullscreen. I ordered wide but the order list does not indicate anything.

YES THEY HAVE TINS.

(Sorry, that wasn't just directed at you.)

I’ll also have to decide how to get rid of Davy Crockett (since I have it) and possibly Disneyland USA (since it’s censored)

I got $50 on E-bay for Crockett ... something like $30 for the other. I was really surprised about the former; somebody in Italy wanted it really badly. And that was just with buy-it-now; no idea what it might've gotten to if the auction had lasted (might've been lower, though).

And I hope the Nightmare Before Christmas is the widescreen and not fullscreen. I ordered wide but the order list does not indicate anything.

I think it is the WS (I've considered picking it up from them). If it's not, the Disney DVD club is surprisingly good about returns and whatnot. I bought "The Emporer's New Groove" when I joined, because I thought it was the good version, but it wasn't, so I just E-mailed them and they took it back right away.

I placed the other on the 15th. Called them up the other day to ask what the problem was. All I know is that I wouldnt hold my breath when waiting to recieve an order.

[Class316]

I got off the phone with the customer service and they said that my orders are all packed and ready for shipment. I also got some crap that they can’t have a debit card on file but this payment will go through and I can use the debit card to pay for future stuff. She removed it from file and wanted to put a credit card on file but I didn’t give any number cause I don’t like to use a credit card on the net. In any case I’ll for now wait for my shipment and decide if I’ll close the account and forget about it or order more treasures to sell on ebay.

[The Black]

I find it strange that they will not offer this to overseas customers. I'm still desperately seeking wave's 1 and 2 without paying the ridiculous prices or having to settle with damaged tins or even without the tins.
I would buy them in a heartbeat if the disney offer was opened to me. I'm however doubtful they or anybody else would want to help me out. :(

[The Black]

And on a side note, runnersdialzero I've sent you an email.

[dick_grayson]

ok, I just called. they said it will be shipped soon and that they were waiting (for some reason). Anyway, when I enrolled and made my purchases, I then called and cancelled my membership, but according to the cs rep. today, it was still active. So be careful. And yes, they're the tins, she said.

I hate to be pessimistic about this, but I wonder why it has to be "in limbo" for this long.

[NCYankee]

What is up with "Tomorrowland"? It is supposedly a very limited run (105,000 according to Amazon).

I see that Amazon.com, Costco.com and Sam's club.com are all out of stock, yet my local Costco has pleny of copies, and someone above mentioned that they had a lot at their local Wal-mart.

I couldnt find it anywhere. I went to Walmart, none there. Neither at any other stores around here. But yesterday, found one copy at Costco.

[Class316]

Tomorrowland is probably the worst treasure. But it will be interesting to see how much it will go for on ebay about 2 months from now.

[NCYankee]

I also found 6 sets of Tomorrowland at the local Walmart (one was badly dented).

Does the price they fetch on eBay tend to depend just on the lower production numbers, or does the quality of the set itself determine the price? Does anyone actually open these and watch them? All the ones I see for sale on eBay and Amazon.com marketplace are sealed.

[g]

The price on ebay depends on whether it is available at the regular retail price elsewhere. Scarcity dictates price.

[DrOBoogie1]

Guess it depends on your tastes. I thought Tomorrowland was the best. Considering the crossover potential with sci-fi fans (many of whom are DVD fans), I think Disney made a mistake in limiting that Treasure to such a small run.

[ThatGuamGuy]

Does the price they fetch on eBay tend to depend just on the lower production numbers, or does the quality of the set itself determine the price?

The lower production number can't hurt but, generally, the ones which sold out the quickest -- which is to say, the ones with the most interest -- sell for the highest prices on E-bay.

Last time I checked, the first color Mickey Mouse was going for over $100, Silly Symphonies was around 75 or 80, Mickey in B&W was up between 50 and 60, Goofy was at least 40, and the others were a bit more erratic, between 20 and 50, depending on when they sold ...

With these new ones, I expect that Mickey won't get as expensive, because all the people buying it are investors ... the Donald one will probably wind up fetching a good price ... and the "War Effort" one will definitely be popular, because I know plenty of people who don't care about the Disney Treasures but like watching weird WWII cartoon propaganda.

[NCYankee]

Unfortunately, the war effort set had a production run of 250,000. I could grab a bunch of these at Costco right now, but I am leaning toward the Tomorrowland set due to the much more limited run of 105K. I plan on selling them a few years down the line.

One concern - will these hold their value once HD-DVD comes out? I would suspect they would, since the crudity of the early animation would not really benefit from increased resolution.

[Nefarious]

For those interested, the club site now has Wave 3 available for $99.00 for all four.

I just got shipping confirmation on the rest of my order (2 sets of wave 1). I'll let you know how it all turns out.

I got my shipping confirmation for the four wave 1!! Alright!! When I get them I'll also have all shorts uncensored cause I already have Clock Cleaners and the Three Little Pics uncensored on DVD.

What is cut out of the Clock Cleaners and the Three Little Pigs?

[pomodoro]

I dunno about clock cleaners but in"the three little pigs" the wolf dresses up as some Jewish brush seller. This is actually shown in the maltin intro preceding the short.

From Clock Cleaners in MMILC:

This is censored


Original dialog:

Donald: "What's the big idea?"
Mainspring: "What's the big idea?"
Donald: "Aw, shut up!"
Mainspring: "You shut up!"
Donald: "Oh, yeah?"
Mainspring: "Oh, yeah!"
Donald: "Sez you!"
Mainspring: "Say I!"
Donald: "I'll bust you, you doggone snake in the grass!"

The DVD version:

Donald: "What's the big idea?"
Mainspring: "What's the big idea?"
Donald: "Aw, shut up!"
Mainspring: "You shut up!"
Donald: "Oh, yeah?"
Mainspring: "Oh, yeah!"
Donald: "Aw, nuts!" (woof woof)
Mainspring: "Say I!"
Donald: (garbled electronically mixed quacking)

This DVD is the same in both R1 and R2/R4

From the Three Little Pigs:

http://www.geocities.com/disney_laserdiscs/pics/3AX.JPG

There were four edited versions of the Three Little Pigs. These included (1) the original uncensored short, (2) the short censored with the animation changed regarding the Big Bad Wolf's Jewish caricature mask, (3) the short censored with the original animation intact but the Big Bad Wolf's dialogue changed from a Jewish to non-Jewish tone, and (4) the short censored with both the animation changed and the soundtrack changed.

The R1 DVD has #4. The R2/R4 DVD has #3. I have #3 on DVD.

Although unlike Clock Cleaners this is probably not “censorship” in the strict sense since they were made by Walt himself. So it's kinda 2 different versions. ie BOTH versions should have been on the DVD.

And if you want to know what's been censored from Disneyland USA then see http://www.tannerworld.com/dvd/inserts/disneylandusa1.zip

If anyone's getting an extra Davy Crockett tin from this that they don't want, send me an e-mail and we'll see if we can work something out. Thanks.

To add onto the comment about "Clock Cleaners"
The version included on the Alice In Wonderland 2-disc
has all the original dialogue, nothing is changed.

(i really dont see why it was changed in the first place....)

The Alice version has the dialogue intact but it's missing the Mickey part. So you lose a lot of footage.

Which Treasure is the most expensive to acquire on Ebay/Amazon Marketplace?

Mickey ILC R1.

[Joe1086]

Has anyone sold any of their treasures on Ebay? How much in total do you think I would get if I got rid of Wave 1, as I ordered two.

[NCYankee]

The best way to answer than is go to eBay, hit the search tab, then advanced search, and look for completed items only.

[TomOpus]

Originally posted by Joe1086

You can maximize your incoming bids by providing decent pics of each tin. Show that they're sealed and undented (hopefully they will arrive undented). Also if you show the serial number (and it's low) that will bring in more money.

As NCYankee said, check out completed auctions and see what seems to work.

I just got Wave 2 today in the mail. It takes forever to get them after you place the order. I still havent gotten Wave 1, which I ordered on the 15th of June, and was supposedly shipped July 1.

same here. I got shipping notification on my wave 1s last week and still waiting. who knows when I'll get them.

[ThatGuamGuy]

I'm hoping on behalf of all of you that they still *have* Wave 1, since it seems weird to me that that one specific shipment keeps being delayed for so many people.

When I joined (almost a year ago), I got my Wave 1 before I even got my enrollment choices.

I still havent gotten Wave 1, which I ordered on the 15th of June, and was supposedly shipped July 1.

Is there any sort of tracking on it or something? That seems like a long wait.

[Class316]

You think they even HAVE wave 1 :confused:

Me:

Order Date: 06/30/04
Ship Date: 07/08/04

[Joe1086]

I called today and the rep said that mine shipped and was on its way according to the tracking number. Apparently it left Minnesota on the 3rd, so I should be expecting it anytime soon, but you never know. I would advise calling the customer service number and see where your package currently is.

[dick_grayson]

also, be careful when you cancel your membership. I went through this long process doing so and then when I called them a few weeks later to see what was taking so long with my wave 1, they told me I was still a member. I'll call now and see where my package is.

[dick_grayson]

good stuff. they said it would take 7-10 business days (but since they were sent on july 7th that's today thru sat.) Also, she said there's no tracking number but they are signature required.

This is driving me crazy!

[Class316]

What do they mean "signature required"?

I think I'll give it till the end of the week before calling.

[dick_grayson]

like you have to sign for it and if you're not there when the post office delivers it, they'll leave a postcard saying you have to go to the post office to pick it up.

Oh. Well I live in an apartment complex so I don't have to worry about this.

[dick_grayson]

Well, both wave 1s came yesterday (tins and all). They were even low numbers on a few (4,000). Anyway, I placed another order (limit 3 per household on the treasures). Good stuff. I think I'll stash them away for a rainy day.

DAMN!! Will look forward to going home today. Maybe I'll see these nice shiny tins!

Then I can ebay Davy Crockett and order another set to ebay. Will think what to do about Disneyland USA.

[Joe1086]

Got my Wave 1 today in the mail. Finally, it only took about a month. I was getting a little worried. My collection is complete until they release the new ones in December.

[The Black]

I've still not been able to obtain either wave 1 or 2, is there anybody other than Class316 that can help me obtain these titles?

[dick_grayson]

Oh and by the way, they're bubble-wrapped and none had any dents.

[Class316]

Originally posted by The Black

Keeping in mind that the they cost almost $210 total and ebay would be more than twice that, email me what you think is a good arrangement.

[Class316]

Ahhh weak! I come home and find in my mailbox a pink slip saying it’s at the post office and I have to pick it up tomorrow after 8:30 AM. And it closes at 5pm so I don’t know how I’m going to get there!!

[Lecithin]

Here is the set I got:

Disney Treasures 7 Disc DVD Box Set (http://disney.store.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_id=14418&Product_Id=160519&Searchstr=treasures&Page=1)

I also got in late and missed the first couple of waves since I didn't even know about them until the new wave of tins came in (at least I got the current wave cheap at Amazon by preordering with STL and using my 5% off BankOne Visa ecard)

I also had ordered a Complete Goofy Tin on Ebay for $47 shipped when I found out that I could buy the entire 7 disc set in a box set form (no numbered tins) from the online Disney Store for $169.00.

Unfortunately they charge a lot for shipping AND sales tax so it is nearly $200 by that time.

However, I was able to take advantage of one of their FREE shipping promotions they have regularly and go through a commission site like fatcash or ******.com or MyPoints and get another $7.44 back on my total price of

1 61211 169.00 ''Walt Disney Treasures'' 7-Pc. DVD Gift Set
Subtotal: $ 169.00
Total Shipping & Handling: $ 0.00
Estimated Sales Tax: $ 11.83
Grand Total Amount: $ 180.83

So it ended up being about $24.99 each after all that without joining any clubs (and I don't really care about the tins, I just wanted to have the DVDs).

Also, I was easily able to resell the Goofy tin back on Ebay for more than I paid for it, so if you already bought some and want to go with the Disney Store or Video club instead, don't open the shrinkwrap, they have great resale value at the moment.

[Class316]

Not only are they missing the tins, but also the lithographs. I think even the booklet. Does this 7 pack come with a booklet?

[dick_grayson]

the second order I placed on wednesday (another wave 1 and wave 2) have already shipped, somehow. It took them a month to ship before and for some reason are out much faster. Good stuff.

My copy of Wave 2 came sealed but didn't have the white security stickers on them. Did this happen to anyone else? I don't plan on opening them (already picked up the W1/W2 set from Costco) so it'd be nice to know.

Thanks

So I just got all my tins in the mail, very nicely bubble-wrapped. One thing puzzles me. For some reason, the Complete Goofy Tin that I also ordered, didn't have the blue band around it? It's still sealed, and all of them have it except this one...

Is there a reason for this? Anyone?

I also just received all 3 waves in the mail this week. The Complete Goofy collection didn't have the blue band with it and had no security sticker on the top of the tin package. It was obviously re-shrinkwrapped, which kinda disappointed me. Nonetheless, I'm just stoked that this "deal" actually worked out.

[MorE808]

yea i dont much care either...i ripped the MMILC v2 when opening...they are nice though to know which one is which from the side...

[mmguen]

shawagg- in the past I've bought tins from the Disney Store at my local mall without the white security stickers. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

By the way, I called after placing my order online and asked them to upgrade the shipping to Priority Mail. They mailed it out within 2 days and said it will arrive in under a week. I think the Priority Mail added $5 to the shipping of my order of 4 Wave 1 tins.

[Class316]

I just ordered another wave 1 to ebay!

[DrOBoogie1]

So taking your sound advice, I've signed up with the club and ordered the first two Treasures sets. I had to place seperate orders for each set (presumably so they could charge me postage twice, but whatever). I did all this within the last 90 minutes, but so far have received no confirmation emails of my initial membership or my orders.

How long did it take for the initial discs to ship? The Treasures orders?

Thanks to all who posted their experiences here with this plan.

[Zman]

are you all just signing up to the club, or using some sort of code to get a better deal? I'm just so weary of that buy 5 more in the next 12 months standard offer.

as explained multiple times throughout this thread, the Treasures will cover your requirements for the club, so that, by joining, you're getting three free DVDs and a ridiculously low price on the seven Treasures discs. (Note: If you only buy one set, yes, you'll have to buy one or two more discs; point is, each Treasure counts as a seperate disc, even though it's one package you're ordering.)

[Class316]

They’re hardly “ridiculously low” at $30 a pop without shipping. But low compared to ebay (where I hope to actually have a bit of cash flowing in for a change)

And don't worry, the confirmation email will come through.

I'd say it's a judgement call; to me, when 'Mickey Mouse in Living Color' routinely sells for $100 or more (not to mention 'Silly Symphonies', $60-$80, maybe more; and I personally got $50 for 'Davy Crockett'), buying all for for $130 + shipping is ridiculously low. And a lot of people in this thread seem to think the price is too low to be believed.

"low compared to ebay" = exactly. There's pretty much nowhere else to get Wave One with tins (let alone sealed).

[Class316]

By the way what is the limit per wave for each person? Is it 3 waves per person?

[ThatGuamGuy]

Originally posted by Class316

The only limit I saw posted on the site was "one per order". Dunno how many orders you're allowed; I imagine they're trying to unload them, so they probably don't mind.

[dick_grayson]

I know they did at first, but I don't know if they still do. Probably not anymore. I guess you can email them and ask.

Also note that the R2 released of SS has the Jewish mask. The R1 doesn’t. Clock Cleaners is the same on both R1 and R2 (I have a DVD with both these uncensored).

Oh well at least I have another set on the way.

And maybe I can still make some money off of wave 2.

I actually ordered a set a day before they went off the site, and have received the shipping confirmation. I just wonder if I ordered the last one? I'm very glad that I did not hold off on purchasing it any longer!

[DamDavila]

Ok, now here's my plea:

I know a few of you ordered extra sets for ebay. Now remember why you ordered the set in the first place. Because those bloodsuckers on ebay won't give up these DVDs to those who need them without a fistfull of cash. Now I NEED this set (as a whole or without the Disneyland USA, it soesn't matter). What I'm looking for is someone who will be kind enough to sell them to me at cost plus shipping, no profit. I know it is a terrible thing to ask, but your fellow board-member needs help... So how about it? Anyone?

Well, you could always opt for the Dutch versions. 36 euroes shipped to the US for both MMILC and SS. That's actually cheaper than the combined cost of the Disney Movie Club price.

[The Black]

You could opt for the Euro versions, I bought them for the dvd's solely. However the "tin" consists of two pieces of tin that only stay together in the plastic, they don't fit over eachother to close, you do NOT receive a litho as do the R1 versions contain, and the icing on the cake is that they're not numbered.

To top all this, the latest treasures to be released here are MMILC2 and Donald, this round no tins, and there has been no confirmation as of whether there are any more Treasures planned for release.
I've managed to obtain these two Treasures in R1, the way the treasures should be released worldwide!

Hmm - your post makes no sense - "I know a few of you ordered extra sets for ebay" - yes to make a profit (not myself).

"Now remember why you ordered the set in the first place" - to make a profit.

[johnglad]

I continue to find it fascinating that people would use a word like "bloodsucker" to describe a seller that puts an item up for AUCTION. Auctions can end at 99 cents or $10 or $100 depending upon BIDDERS. No bidder on Ebay has EVER had a gun to their head to make a bid. They bid, they purchase, they pay and then they leave postive feedback (both the buyer and the seller do). Both the buyer and seller are thrilled with the transaction, yet the people outbid feel better by making it seem like they were screwed or the world is against them.
Blame Disney for limited print runs if you want, but other than that it is a free country (at least I hope it still is?). Without free enterprise we are not the USA. I would love to go back 3 years and not buy Disney Treasures but BUY EBAY STOCK. I would guess no one would call the stock owners bloodsuckers.

[NCYankee]

Exactly - and I think some people need to learn the difference between NEED and WANT.

If the desired discs complete the above poster's collection and enhance its value - the only reason I could see that he would be so desperate to get them (I am sure he doesn't want to resell them for a profit himself, right?) - then I guess he should just decide how much it is worth to him. Or plan ahead better next time - this thread has been here for a while.

[johnglad]

Exactly to you as well NCYankee. People seem to think that they are entitled to under $20 dvds forever even if an item is rare, collectible, etc. With patience you can have ANY Disney Treasures dvd other than Mickey Color #1 on Ebay for under $40. Full Retail was $32.99 for these sets!!! Anything on LASERDISC was $50-$100 PER MOVIE. What a deal we get these days.

[mmguen]

Disney might the release Wave 1 titles without the limited edition numbered tins in the future, as they did last Christmas through Costco (you had to buy the whole Wave 1 & 2 collection).

Reminder- now is the time to buy Wave 2 from the Disney Movie Club

Originally posted by mmguen

Yea but that doesn't make as much money on ebay. MM B&W and Goofy go for like $60 each :/

[NCYankee]

So what is the state of supply for Wave 3? Walmart's copies near me are finally gone, but Costco still has loads of Front Lines, and about a dozen copies of each of Tomorrowland and Mickey ILC vol 2. Costco online still has Chron Donald but not Tomorrowland, while Sams Club online only has Front Lines.

Amazon still has them all except Tomorrowland.

[habers]

anyone think MMILC 1 will go up in price any more?? I have 2 sealed sitting here collecting dust along with 2 Silly Symphonies

[johnglad]

All Ebay prices will crest in the 2 months before Christmas (that is just the way Ebay has worked the last several years). It is an auction and more buyers are bidding around XMAS. Online xmas shopping is huge and growing larger.
Wave 3 is still available but supplies are running low. Costco, Sams and BJs have NO STOCK in any wharehouses. Everything is in their stores and that is it. Amazon will sell out before XMAS to be sure. Get them NOW (no one should have waited this long anway). Tomorrowland has approached $40+ on Amazon Marketplace in the last 2 weeks. They are going....going.....going..

[Class316]

Wouldn’t it be funny if one day the treasures are re released and all efforts to rush and buy and hunt and pay $$$ on ebay would be so wasteful.

Though chances are that won’t happen, they will probably be released in SOME form just not in that form (like Davy Crockett was). For instance they make take some cartoons in MMILC, censor them, then release it as a $10 DVD.

[NCYankee]

I wonder if the advent of high-def dvd will affect the values - I wouldn't think so, since current technology has probably reached the limits of resolution for the source of the older cartoons anyway, so I doubt they will look any better in high-def.

[DrOBoogie1]

Hey, just got Waves 1 and 2 in the mail from the Disney Movie Club. They look good, some minor imperfections, but they look very good overall. The Goofy set doesn't have the blue band around the front, as others have mentioned.

Anyway, just wanted to thank you folks again for the recommendation on getting the discs through the club. Couldn't have done it without you!
