Many Blockbuster Mistakes

As all ready posted Blockbuster has SCTV Season 2 for $23.99 but there's more...

Looney Tunes Volume 2: $29.99
Friday the 13th Ultimate Edition: $26.99

I'm sure there's more...I haven't had the chance to look anything else up. But, here's a suggestion. Order them before hand and pay for them in full. That way, they have to give them to you when they get them in and the price goes up.

Is the Looney Tunes the 4 disk edition?

Is there any way to search these prices or pre-order on-line?

By Friday the 13th ultimate edition, are you talking about the From Crystal Lake to Manhattan thing?

I haven't heard about an ultimate edition.

Went to 2 Blockbusters on the north side of Indy.

One "didn't have a date" and the other said it was 59.99.

I asked two Blockbusters and they told me the prices aren't even in their computers yet for these items.

EDIT: Take that back.

Just went to the Blockbuster down the street from me, and they ordered me a copy of the Friday the 13th: UE. Price came out (after tax and what not) to $29. Not bad for a set that retails $89.99!

Well, I just got a local BBV to do this for me also for the 13th set. I've already paid in full, and I have the debit card reciept, the main reciept, and then I also requested a copy of a "special order form" in case they had to order it like that for me.

Total: $28.34

Are you talking about the 13th set? If so, I'm just a fan of the films. It'll look perfect sitting right next to my Nightmare collection!

We all need to ask and see what other deals BBV have for us, heh. When I was in the store earlier I asked about Seinfeld, and they were all priced "normally". They have the gift set listed as $119!

Yeah, I was just under the impression a lot of them were not watchable. I am glad everyone is getting hooked up with this price though.

I went to Blcokbuster and the cashier had me come behind the counter to find the Looney Tunes set on his computer. I was willing to pay but he said I'd have to join and get a card in order to pay now. So I'm not sure I'll get it for that price, even though he wrote down $29.99 on the special order slip.
I'd also like the Friday the 13th set, but I want the extra disc from Best Buy. Thanks for the heads up, OP!

Yeah, they also told me that I had to be a member to buy. I already am though, so that was no problem for me. Why didn't you just become a member really quick in order to go ahead and pay to makre sure you get the Tunes set at that price?
