OMG! I am all over that Nick Fury release! I hope the Generation X TV movie comes out next!

Here's a more direct wiki-link to the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Fury:_Agent_of_S.H.I.E.L.D._(film)

Thanks, Speedy

That's cool about the Nick Fury movie. I'm all over Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6.

cinemaphile
09-23-08, 02:07 PM
Yeah, the Iron Man "mini-bust" (emphasis on mini) is really being misrepresented. Basically, consider the box being approximately the same height and width as a DVD case, and you'll get an idea of the true size.

(same for the Crystal Skull with Indy IV)

09-23-08, 02:43 PM
Thanks Speedy! I'll be picking up Iron Man at Target I believe, but I might pick up Hot Fuzz for $5 here and perhaps the new Anberlin cd/bonus dvd for a friend.

So no price on the Forgetting Sarah Marshall/Knocked Up/The 40-Year-Old Virgin Bluray pack? I guess there was no way it was going to be anything under $59.99 anyhow, so my best bet is still online.

Actually, it was pictured in the Best Buy Insider magazine for the last week of release.. Didn't know too much about it, but I thought the person playing Nick Fury looked familiar..

No "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" exclusive anywhere, so I ordered it from Amazon for $19.99 for the 3-disc set. I had been holding out to see if there was an exclusive or not before I ordered. Thanks Speedy!

You're going to need to be more specific as to what size you're looking for and whether you're looking for LCD or plasma.

This was a double sided postcard I picked up last time I was at Bestbuy.. Is this the same one pictured in the weekly ad?

So it appears it'll be given away at the counter or something and not packaged with the giftsets itself?

I'm not speedy, but I can help somewhat. I do know that it's not an exclusive. The contents I'm not so sure on. I've seen listings for at least four versions of this album. The regular single disc CD, the vinyl, a deluxe edition and some version that's nearly $100. The deluxe seems to include the CD, a DVD, a book and possibly a live CD depending on where you look. I'd guess it's similar to the Songs for Silverman deluxe. I have no idea what the $100 one is though. It looks like it might be the deluxe and the vinyl, but there's got to be more involved to justify that price.

I did a little research and saw ad scan on SD. There was a note on the ad that said to check out www.bestbuy.com/ironman for locations doing midnight release. I checked the site and there was nothing. I don't know if site was taken down or not yet activated. Just a little heads up for anyone interested. I am hoping my local BB does it so I can score some free stuff with my Iron Man bd.

To answer your question, the $16.99 price is for the single disc edition, according to the Best Buy ad, not the 2-Disc Edition.

jkzahn
09-28-08, 10:49 AM
Don't know if it has been mentioned but online, there is a $10 discount if you buy Iron Man BLU and Indiana Jones BLU together, plus you can still get the LITHO for free. So, you are paying $20.99 for Iron Man and $24.99 for Indiana.

They currently have Indiana listed for $29.99 before the discount, which you know will change closer to release. I am not sure how this works as far as price adjustment, but this could be a decent deal.

all best buy has is a lame lithograph anyway (no thanks on the tiny TINY mini-bust!!)

i just go to any 24-hour walmart. every week i can get that day's new releases at mdnight, and usually at the cheapest price (bring the ads in and theyll match any lower ones).

If anyone bothered to pick it up, I'd love to see some pictures of the Best Buy Iron Man "Mini-bust" so we can see the actual size.

Holysmoker
09-30-08, 06:02 PM
I got the blu-ray set at Best Buy and it came with the lithograph and they also gave me a Stark industries poster tube. The plastic wrap on the tube was open on the end and when I questioned why, the checkout girl said they were checking all the tubes to see if there were posters inside. There weren't. She said alot of customers were coming back complaining that their posters were missing.

HOSALE
09-30-08, 06:23 PM
I just got back from Best Buy and I have to say I was impressed with the "mini bust". It was a lot bigger than a lot of the thread posters here seemed to imply. It was much bigger than the 300 Spartan's helmet or Hero Samurai mask, which were pretty small. I passed on it mainly due to price, since the $50 gift card seemed to be pretty restricted in its use. If the Crystal Skull for Indy is as large, I might break down and purchase that. The main reason for not purchasing was that it was a budget buster for me. If I had the cash, I'd have definitely picked it up.

If anyone bothered to pick it up, I'd love to see some pictures of the Best Buy Iron Man "Mini-bust" so we can see the actual size.


It's about up to Tony Stark's rib cage or IronMonger's pelvis.

Bearkiss,

I recommend you go directly to the Sideshow website to see what they have to offer and the restrictions on the use of gift cards. I don't mean to bad mouth the offer at all. On a previous thread, started by Speedy, specifically about this offer, some folks cautioned that the Sideshow card had some limitations. I went to the Sideshow website and really didn't find anything there that excited me. But if you find something there, and it isn't giftcard restricted, then this is a great deal.

Here is what cautioned me, and had me check out the Sideshow website.

from my limited experience with sideshow, they do not normally have giftcards or coupons like "$50 off $250". this may be an exception, but id think not.

but again, from my experience, most of these sideshow giftcards are generally good only for the older stuff (that isnt sold out and is less desirable). from the site:

"Gift Cards are redeemable on select Sideshow in-stock / back-ordered merchandise only. For your convenience, a list of the select in-stock items available for purchase with your new Gift Card can be found at the right of this page. Gift Cards are not valid on product(s) in pre-order status at the time of order or on wait list reservations."

still, if there is something that you want within that list, this deal rocks

btw, anyone know the expiration date on the sideshow giftcards? if it is way down the road, like 12/31/09, then i can wait it out for something decent that isnt available now but may be later :D

Has anyone seen an October issue of that small, blue Best Buy magazine (I think it was something like "DVD Insider") with 10% off DVDs/Blu-Ray coupons inside like they had for August and September?

It would be nice to have one of those 10% off coupons for Sleeping Beauty BR next week given that the 10% off mover's coupons don't work for DVDs.

They were putting out the October issue of Best Buy Insider when I was at my local store today. There was a small rack for them in the section with the new release DVDs. It has a yellow cover featuring the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull DVD on it. It has two coupons at the back that are valid October 1-30. One is "Get double Reward Zone Points on any Blu-ray Disc purchase," and the other is "10% off any single DVD or Blu-ray disc purchase.

That's good to know. That coupon saved me $4 on the Iron Man set, it will save at least that much on the Indiana Jones one.

When I entered the code from my card, it said the expiration date was:
"Dec 31, 2009 GMT"

Is BB no longer offering discounts on blank DVD media? It always seemed in the past that at least one brand would be on sale each week. I always waited for the week that included the Sony's. Generally, it was a 50 pack for about $13.

Any ideas?

They don't seems to be listed as frequently in the print ads across the board.

I'm not sure why that is.

They may be confining sales prices to an "in-store only" basis.

I've noticed far fewer sales on blank discs at Best Buy as well. Keep on eye on Office Max and Office Depot. They have different brands of blanks on sale almost every week.

For anyone that is wondering what to get with the $50 GC I found a pretty good Star Wars Book for $50. I had to pay about $8 for shipping but I think it will be worth it. Oddly enough it was priced at $49.99 but they didn't take of the penny from shipping so they might not let you use the GC for shipping. Of course maybe they didn't because it was a penny.

Pretty cool item that isn't several hundred dollars.

Most are Hasbro action figures from the movie, but one is a Toy Biz Marvel Legends figure from the comics.

I was able to use the $50 card on an R. Lee Ermey PT figure that I've been wanting for a long time (just for the lines it speaks to get "disgusting fat bodies" in shape) and it was available for $44.99, so to use the remainder of the card, I just got the catalog for $10, which comes with a $10 gift card, which makes it free minus the $5 from the gift card plus the flat $8 shipping fee. Of course, then I have to find something to buy with the $10 card. (Too bad you can't combine cards on one order, I could add it to the upcoming $25 one that comes with the Crystal Skull DVD set.)
