Lion King 1, 1 1/2, and 2 now OOP?
I heard that all 3 have been put back in the Disney vault recently. Is this true?

Yes - back to the vault. OOP ??? Tower Records is good about putting in info about when (the date of) OOP, but they do not list any OOP date for Lion King ???
I have still seen them at Suncoast and Fry's recently had the trilogy box set of 1, 1 1/2 and 2 on sale on their website and maybe in-store as well. Many online sites still have them for sale, even at discounted prices. Suncoast actually had them on sale at 2/$32 earlier in January, I believe - that is when I picked mine up.

fast forward a year, and you start promtoting, last time to own for seven years. with new commercials...you then start fresh with a new title....
it works....and the people who miss the boat end up paying double MSRP on ebay for it....people always want what they can't have....disney has embraced this...and made alot of cash

i doubt it...at least not to the extent that jungle book or toy story have been. Alot more people owned dvd players when this one was released...It sold a lot more copies...so the used market will be flooded. However, if you have a sealed copy, I doubt you could lose much money if you buy it for under 18 bucks.
won't buy you a new boat, or a bling bling mansion...but you might be able to afford supersize and an apple pie...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just found a Lion King Platinum at a store. It was the last one there, and it didn't have the slip case.
Now, they also have the Lion King Giftset (2 left), should I get it instead or in addition to the Platinum?
As far as I can tell, the only thing extra in the giftset is the book and character drawings? Is it worth $20 more?
And, they had a lot of the Lion King 1 1/2. I think I'll go back and get that also.

I believe there was a Lion King trilogy boxset (LK, LK 1/2, LK 2) that came out just before OOP. It might be a cheaper way if they still have it.
As for the giftset, it has the platinum edition plus a book, drawing and a collector's box. I would say get it if you already have the giftsets of other platinum series - Aladdin and Cinderella, so that they will look nice on the shelf.
