The Best Buy near me put out the King Kong box early and I bought one.
Best Buy is the only place you can get the 2 disc tin set of King King with Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. Other places have a box with the standard 2 disc set of King Kong (non tin) with the other films.
Tin comes with reproduction of souvenir program and 10 one-sheet postcards. Best Buy's regular selling price for this is $38. Through Wednesday it is $34 .
Box says Best Buy bonus 5 additional one sheet postcards not available anywhere else.

Does this set come with a mail-in offer for the poster?

Think they'll havea problem with me PMing DDD's price? I doubt they would consider their exclusive package.

Best Buy does not price match online shops.

Best Buy's package is an exclusive. The tin box is available elsewhere, but only includes the two-disc "Kong" and the "souveneir" material. Or there's a Kong "Collection" which is just the three films, -but not in a tin box (I don't know if there's a slipcase for the three titles), -its available for about the same price as the tin. Best Buy's version sort of combines the two for a slightly higher price...

Yeah, the question is whether the tin and added reproductions are worth about $8 or so. Barnes and Noble and ddd have the king kong collection (1933 original and 2 sequels) for under $26 (at B&N if you are a member it is $25.18, but they now charge tax in most states). but as noted above, that is with standard packaging, probably two double slim amrays. i'm a sucker for these exclusives, so i'll probably just pony up like an idiot. . .

Unless things have changed, Amazon had both the 2-disc tin and the four-disc three-film "non-tin" for the same price, -just under $26, I think. I was trying to make up my mind ,and was leaning to the three films, since I want all of them. The Best Buy thing sort of consolidated it for me, so I'll probably just buy that, -but I'll probably have a good size case of "Buyer's Remorse" on Wednesday...

"Best Buy does not price match online shops."

Mine has done it more than once for me. I got Batman Begins DE for $14.99 by matching a print out of that pirce on CircuitCity.com (it was only up for a day or so).

Pics?

This is from BB's web site:



It's kind of hard to see, but the tin is in the front of the box, with the other two movies in their standard packaging behind the tin.

They matched it because if it's on sale at circuitcity.com, you can get the same price at B & M Circuit City. So they were actually matching the B & M store.

raidersrule86

Circuit City charged $22.99 for it in-store that day.

Classic Films

Yes.

The tin contains the Standard 2 disc set and packaging (digipack) plus 5 postcard size posters of the movie and a small reproduction of the souvenir
program . Best Buy set has that plus the other 2 movies plus five more postcard size posters for the movie. Many of the posters are for international release of the movie . As stated there is a form to order a full size poster for free. Haven't looked at form closely so I don't know if there is any shipping charge.

I picked this up today at BB and the set looks great. I got two copies of the extra BB exclusive 5 poster replica postcards for some reason. I hope that doesn't mean someone else got screwed. I was debating whether to go with this set or just the $14.99 two-discer and I'm glad I went with this set.

There is a $3.25 S&H charge, but for a 27" x 40" reproduction poster, that is still a great deal.

My mother-in-law, via my wife, is buying the BB set for my birthday. Woo-hoo....

I almost picked the tin up at CC today but decided to wait to pricematch it at BB when I picked up War of the Worlds LE there today. It's a good thing I did, I picked a Kong set up there in a heartbeat. I had wanted the tin since it was announced (I'm a sucker for tins) and was not going to get the 3 movie set for this reason. I was happy to see this exclusive.

Best Buy sure did a shitty job of advertising this "exclusive". I couldn't tell what it contained from their ad or their web site. I would have bought it there if I had known the contents.

Living Dead

I was able to price-match this exclusive set for $27.99. Circuit City had the tin only listed for that price, and when I gave the girl the ad at checkout to price match me a King of the Hill S5 set, she said "Do you want to price match this King Kong set too?" I didn't really know what she meant, but I said sure. It was only after I left that I realized she had price matched the box set to the single tin that was listed in Circuit City's ad, since the picture is almost identical. I didn't ask for it, but I didn't argue either.

I bought the KK Collector's Edition at Circuit City for $29.99 and then visited Best Buy which had the exclusive set for $34. Needless to say I paid a return visit to Circuit City to return my KK.

I thought all the extras were well worth $4!

I lucked out today at Target, they had the CE mispriced at 14.99, which they honored for me... I dropped the two 5 dollar seinfeld GC's I picked up this morning, so the total came out around 6 bucks

Overall for under 80 bucks I picked up today from Target:
Seinfeld Vol 4
Seinfeld Vol 5
King Kong CE Tin
and Dynasty warriors PSP

not bad... takes a little of the sting out of just missing a 360 at Sams club this morning

StrTrkker

I priced matched it as well today at BB for $27.99. I just missed getting it for $17.99 as the girl was ready to punch in that price (as seen in the CC Ad) when a manager showed up and pointed to her that it was for the single disc.

Rats...

Ginwen

I probably would've too. Instead I got the regular set at CH as a fulfillment. Oh well, I'm sure they'll sell them to someone, just not to me.
