Kocheese99

After reading some reviews i'm kinda pumped about getting this, but i really haven't seen any prices for B&M yet. So anyone know the prices for any stores yet? I know online it can be found for under $30 but i'd rather pick it up day of.

As of right now all i know is that Best Buy has it for $32.99.

a post at the end of this thread suggests the price at costco may be $25.

I really think they're going to eventually put this in there so called ultimate edition when the movie comes out on dvd. Wouldn't it be best to just wait until then to get a full package rather than pay for this at this price. It will be less to pay in the long run. Don't you guys think?

i think this may have been mentioned in the the dvd thread, but, IIRC, PJ has said a completely different set of extras has been filmed for the eventual dvd release.

Snowmaker

Yeah, it was $25.49 there.

All these rumors about the production diaries being on the King Kong release need to stop. I think there's some feeling out there that because LOTR had two editions that people were being tricked into paying twice. That just wasn't the case. Two different movies, two different sets of extras, plenty of warning that it was happening.

I don't have a Costco near me. The cheapest I've seen at a B&M is Target for $29.99. I was able to price match this at Best Buy today so I could get the Reward Zone points.

Picked it up at Walmart in Portland for $24.88. Incredible amount of extras inside, and a great looking package.

The Escapist

My local Costco had it for $25.59, but hey, what's a dime? They only had 8 sets, so maybe the limited number thing's for real.

I stopped by Tower Records just out of curiosity, and it was $29.99.

Roger Ebert featured this set on his show this week. he showed off his Certificate of Authenticity, and it was some number greater than 250,000 so I wouldn't be too worried about rushing right out to get one.

wally world here is at 31.49.

Hank1215

It says $31.49, but scans at $24.88

Mr. Cinema

I just saw King Kong and I must now have this. I may get it through Columbia House. One of my accts is showing the price as $27.99 + $2.99 shipping.

Maxflier

No. I don't think it is wise for anyone wanting this to wait just because Roger_d from the DVDTALK message boards thinks it will be included with the movies DVD release.

bigkid43

Coconuts has it for $27 after mail in rebate

Spunkymonkey

um....no, I went today, and it was 31.49 once I went up to a computer price scanner thingy.

Sounds like you got a bad Walmart! Also sometimes the good prices are on Tuesday only.

justbarelymovin

It's usually different for every Walmart.

laidbacklarkin

Just saw King Kong at a multiplex near me. WOW !! Just cant believe a CGI ape can be made to look so ultra realistic. Sheer spectacle..and Naomi Watts is one pretty Goldilocks indeed !! you dont realize even a minute of the 180 minute feature tick by..cant believe this is from a director that started off with B-horror movies..way to go, PJ

Trevor

I think I saw it for 26.99 at Target, but since no one else has mentioned it I doubt it was in the flyer.

Mr. Cinema

Picked up the set from Best Buy last night. Very classy package. Goes good with my Kong scrapbook that I got from Best Buy last week. Now I just have to watch the damn discs.

The Kong Photo Journal (Scrapbook) Exclusively from Bestbuy does lokk good with PJ's Kong Production Diaries

Peep

I'm waiting for the re-release.

Almost picked this up, but I'm going to wait until after I see the movie. For one thing its really a one disc set. If its under 4 hours it could easily fit on one DVD-9. I like the other stuff included so I'll decide on it later.
