Was there any indication that the coupon would work on the Blu-Ray as well?

No, there was no indication. The coupon lists specific product numbers, but I didn't pay too much attention to them, as the Juno DVD was pictured on the coupon.

Thanks for this!

Save 10 instantly when you buy any 2 seasons of The Muppet Show.

Also, they have the 8-disk Die Hard Collection back in stock for $39.99.

This is the 14 film Basil Rathbone set.

JiM T · 05-21-08, 10:10 PM

No $19.99 WB sets at all at my Costco! What the heck gives??! They did have those Universal Screen Legends and Glamour sets, though. Hopefully they'll get with the program with those WB sets soon. I was so distraut over this, I accidentally left a block of feta cheese behind at the checkout counter after paying for it!

(Okay, the DVDs don't have me that upset. But we are a block of cheese short...)

Do you, or does anyone, know what is in the Marx Bros set/which one it is? Is it the green one or the silver collection?

Green. The silver one is a Universal set.

The Costco near me has it but it was on an endcap and not 19.99 (I think it was 29.99).

I did not see a lot of stock on these titles maybe 3 or 4 of each. Not sure if there is additional stock under the counter. I am guessing these will go fast.

MrAnonymous · 05-22-08, 09:15 PM

Does anybody know where Costco obtains their DVDs and what they do with unsold ones? While most of my experiences there are great, I had a couple problems with my purchases last month. I bought the Hitchcock Signature set, which seemed brand new except for The Wrong Man , which had fingerprints all over the bottom of the disk. I easily wiped them off, and there are no scratches, so it's no big deal, but I am curious about whether it may have been a return or if they get such great deals by obtaining imperfect stock. The other problem was the My Fair Lady 2-disk set for $8.99, which was missing the 2nd disk. I returned it hoping for an exchange a week later, since there must have been 100 copies the first time, only to find that the huge section of $8.99 titles had been replaced by $8.99 two-packs. Great deal, but nothing that interested me. So I'm wondering what they do with all those DVDs when they replace them.

Mr. Magorium and The Wonder Emporium
27 Dresses.

Item numbers listed are:

If someone wants to start a new thread with this info, go ahead.

There may be others that qualify here...

I picked up Hitman Unrated with $6 off. I think the newest Die Hard flick also qualified. Perhaps Legend as well. Check the racks to find other Fox DVDs that might have the same number. The ones I found shared the number with Mr Margorium and the Wonder Emporium.

AmonTwin · 05-24-08, 12:39 AM

I just received some Costco coupons in the mail today....

At about $6.20/disc, I might finally have to jump on the Ford at Fox Collection

JiM T · 05-24-08, 05:18 PM

Saw the assortment of big $179 Fox sets out at Costco last night - I was wondering if something like this might be up. Hmm, probably finally time to go for X-Files... But now, where to come up with $119?? A great price, but still a lot of money.

Jigen75 · 05-24-08, 05:51 PM

I'm going to have to get the X Files set. I'm not a huge fan but 120.00 for 9 seasons is about as good as it can get I think.

Neil M. · 05-24-08, 06:16 PM

Ford at Fox will be mine.
