Would be an excellent deal if it were not for the shipping charges and Tax. And that WM will most likely cancel your order.

[pilot]

almost (maybe every) price mistake that's ever been a pre-order at walmart.com has been canceled. so don't get your hopes up, but definately try if you're interested....

[gfoots]

It isn't a very bad mistake so maybe it will go through.

They honored my two orders for Jerimiah Season One, and it was insanely mispriced if I remember right. Wasn't it like $15 for a $60 set? It was something like that.

I ordered the King Kong Collection, so hopefully that will go through too. :)

[Dr. Calamari]

I actually just placed an order for the 4 disc set, using Bill Me Later...I'm thinking I should have ordered more than just one set at that price, in case it does go through without being red flagged. Great X-Mas gifts for all my DVD addicted friends!

We'll see what actually transpires...

[g]

does the 4 disc set have the tin and other collector's items? Im deciding between just the king kong tin and the collection?

I believe the 4 disc just has the SE, but I could be wrong.

[Brent L]

Is the CE and SE the exact same as far as actual DVD content goes?

[ernestrp]

I think the CE comes in a tin type thing.

I decided to place an order for the Collection. Dvdpricesearch listed the shipping at 5.89 but when I placed an order it was only 2.47 and .99 for tax so it is 23.34. A few dollars less then my pre-order at Amazon.

Jeremiah was far from being a pre-order.

[Brent L]

D'oh, I forgot about that one little small detail.

[DJ_Longfellow]

Yeah, looks like they MIGHT honor this as it is not that under-priced. I think they are $27 at Amazon.

[darkside]

They honored some huge GameCube game pricing errors I ordered awhile back so I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one. I used bill me later as well.

[RevKarl]

Add one more order for the 4-disc box set. (I was hoping to pick it up at Costco, but they have been very inconsistant of late in which WB DVD box sets they stock, so I'll give "the evil empire" a try.)

Many thanks to the OP for the heads-up on this deal, whether Walmart honors it or not.

[The Valeyard]

What's the advantages of using Bill Me Later?

[bobpierce]

$22.35 shipped for the 4-disc set! Not bad! :-)

Thanks for the heads up.

[natevines]

They honored Cary Grant Signature collection for about $15, so I'm actually confident this will be honored. I won't be able to order until tomorrow morning, so this better remain!

[smackattack]

are these really that great a deal or just mearly good for a preorder? Wouldnt something like this be this cheap or cheaper in 6 months anyway?

[victant]

Thanks for the heads up on this! :up:

[Eric D.]

Thanks OP! If people didn't get greedy and order 10 copies each, this may actually go through.

[jdpatri]

Ordered a 4-disc collection. Hope it goes through. Thanks to ernestrp for the post.

[Classic Films]

Order the 4 disc set. Thanks for the heads up. Here's hoping they honor it.

[natevines]

I can't see three warner releases (one of them two discs) being cheaper than $20, so this is an excellent deal.

[thejester]

Don't believe WM will let any of these thru. Good luck to those that want to TRY. Of all the price mistakes I've seen WM make, no pre-order has made it to ship - even ones that had a short time frame (week or so).

[The Valeyard]

Worth a shot so I jumped in. Thanks, ernestrp.

[seymouru]

If this is available during DDD's next 20% off sale, the 4 disc and the CE tin will be $28.78 - 20% = $23.02 shipped.

[spyd3rgt]

King Kong Collection went up to $26.88...

[ernestrp]

King Kong Collection went up to $26.88...

They still have the wrong MSRP. The CE is still 19.88. Maybe they got enough orders for the collection so they made that 10% off now.

[jrsl76]

The 4 disc collection is still 19.88 + shipping and tax on Wal-Mart's site as I just placed my order a minute ago.

[seymouru]

The CE tin and the 4-disc both went up to $26.88 yesterday, then back down to $19.88 again today. Apparently they can't make up their minds. From the looks of it I don't think it's a price mistake. But they are still showing the wrong MSRP, so who knows...

[DJ_Longfellow]

Yeah, I'm debating to get it. The TIN is cool looking, but the 4-disc is the better "deal". However, I've never really been a fan of "OLD" movies like that...but, it's King Kong :)

[ernestrp]

List Price: $39.92

Our Price: $19.88

You Save: $20.04 (50%)

They changed List Price to the correct list price and now 50% off, 19.88. I guess the orders should go through.

[ctowner1]

If this is available during DDD's next 20% off sale, the 4 disc and the CE tin will be $28.78 - 20% = $23.02 shipped.

The release date is 11/22. The DDD sale doesn't apply to preorders. Last year's DDD sale was 11/15-11/21. If they choose the same week this year, it'll be 11/14-11/20.

I went ahead and bought mine for $24 on Walmart.com (that was my total price including shippig & tax - have people been getting it for less than that?)

$23.99.

[ctowner1]

$23.99.

I stand corrected. -rolleyes-

[HockeyMan2000]

I stand corrected. -rolleyes-

No kidding...it takes all kinds, doesn't it?

[stonecountry]

Is the King Kong DVD in the Box Set For Sure the 2 Disc SE? On DeepDiscount and some other places it lists it as 3 disc set.

[The Valeyard]

I stand corrected. -rolleyes-


I swear. Sarcasm is lost on this forum.

[Dabaomb]

you should've posted the winky smily or something ;)

[The Valeyard]

Good point.

-biggrin-

How's that? Do we have a "wacka wacka wacka" smiley?

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Smilies are for the sanity-impared.

What else could valeyard's post have been besides a joke? Even if valeyard was insane and was not joking, that itself would have been an even better joke.

[Ashirg]

DDD has it now for $25.67 for collection

[Eric D.]

They should go through now. Nice! Can't wait to get this.

[TomOpus]

Just wanted to chime in for those buying the tin online. If you're anal about dents and dings, you might want to wait and find the best price in store.

I can live with a tiny ding but, unless the price is REALLY good or can't find it at a B&M, I usually buy my tins in person.

[Dabaomb]

DDD has it now for $25.67 for collection

If DDD.com keeps it at this price during their 20% off sale, it'll be $20.54 shipped.

Plus, I'd rather give my money to DDD.com than Walmart anyday of the week.
