HOPE!! The $8 TS3 coupon expires on 11/8, i think. Or, whatever the last day for the coupon is..i will try and go the day b4 since the price is 34.99 to collect my pre-order. One manager stated at her store..she usually puts out preorders early & aplenty. Fantasia releases, 11/30/2010 & the $10 coupon is out now! So, i hope with a strained/strenched wait..i can catch it. Toys R US is a totally nob & needs to be turn into chapter 7 or 13.

Rang in as $34.99 at TRU, so just went to the desk and asked for my two $5 deposits back. No issues, got one as cash and one as a gift card. Tried to go to Best Buy (purposely timed my position in the line to avoid the woman who rejected coupon + sales price as combining offers the last time) but coupon didn't ring in and they wouldn't take it. Then went to Target and was able to get it, bu just realized after checking out that that since I got my cash back, I was really paying $17 for this blu-ray--which is way more than I ever pay for a film (I usually get my blus for under $10) so may end up returning it and waiting for a better deal.
And then in regards to Target, what price did you think you were going to be paying for it? And unless part of a deal with other films or additional coupons you could be in for a long wait getting a Disney/Pixar film for less than $10. I agree that basically ALL other Blu's I will not pay more than $10 but at least to me the animated films tend to be the exception and the best price for them is during release week.

Since the TRU $34.99 is a rip-off, I got the $5 refund back for the deposit. Didn't lose any money from the $10 off preorder. The free TS3 Wallclock isn't worth that. I then went to Target and bought it for $24.99 - $8 coupon = $16.99. Same price as TRU and I still have the $10 TRU Gift Card.
Disney still has 4 BDs coming out by Christmas. One of them should be down in price and compare to Amazon, Target, Best Buy, ect. I'll use the gift card then.

While I would have rather had a better TS3 price at TRU (even $29.99) I went ahead and picked it up at the 34.99 price. I am glad I got there early, there were plenty of wall clocks but not many of the popcorn tins and it looks like quite a few people were there early morning like me grabbing the same deal.
Total came to $17.xx after pre-order discount, coupon, and whatever was left on the TB3 gift card after getting Beauty & the Beast free. I can live with this price since this is a movie I actually really wanted, plus I got the wall clock and Tin even though I don't know what I will do with them.

Going to try and get my 2 deposits back tomorrow. If I wanted to pay over $30 for TS3, I'd go get the Buzz packaging at Target. I will most likely get 2 copies of the regular edition though. The way I see it, I will still be paying $11.99 once I get my deposit back from TRU. I haven't seen the popcorn tin or clock but don't think it's worth an extra $10 plus I'm a cheap bastard anyway.

Went to Walmart and used the $8 coupon on the 2-Disc non-combo pack. The coupon isn't intended that way but the cashier didn't seem to care. Came out to about $13 w/ tax.

Returned my two pre-orders at TRU. The cashier said a lot of people have been doing that today, and I was there at 12:15! So in 2+ hours on the release day, they have already had a lot of returns...
For those that really want the clock, there is another deal that may help. If you spent $40 on Disney movies, you get a free $10 gift card. But I don't know if that is $40 BEFORE coupons, or after...

@jgh8x. u jest! i have no time to explain or walk u thru months of threads on this preorder/giftcard/add. $10 off promotion. I want to get $10 more off of TS3 & get another disney disc @ a discount. Seriously, u were joking, right? Btw: 34.99 is not a great deal to many of us and its been stated all day.

Cancelled the preorder and got my 5 bucks back. Went to best buy, used the $8 coupon and a $5 rz cert with no problem. 13.xx out the door.

Interesting. I may try this. Did the coupon scan with no problem or was an override needed and the cashier/supervisor simply didn't care?

I had no problem getting my $5 back from the TRU pre-order. After buying TS3 at Best Buy for $19.47 out the door ($24.99 + CA tax - $8 coupon), my total for both movies (BaTB and TS3) is $19.47. BaTB ended up free after the $5 back. Not bad for both.

Re: Tinkerbell + B&tB + Toy Story 3 = $30 total at Toys R Us
Ended up buying this at toys r us because my son loved the clock and my wife wanted the tin. Since it took a lot of work and a manager to add the tin to the deal they dropped the price an extra $5! I sold TB on ebay and ended getting BaTB and TS3 for $10 net out of pocket with various coupon stacking, the eBay sale and the gift card. Not bad for 2 movies, a watch, a clock and a popcorn tin.
Thanks dvdtalkers!

Returned my pre-orders to TRU. They didn't have ANY blu combos available, but when I left they had five extras. (I purchase for all my family since I've already done the research). Here's how I figure my total cost when I purchased the combo pack from BB:
$24.99 - TS3
-05.00 - TRU preorder refund*
-07.50 - BB Ironpack preorder**
-08.00 - Disney coupon
--------
$04.49 - Total
* I assigned the $5 out of pocket for the preorder of TS3 to the BATB combo pack (which isn't so sneaky since it was part of the original $8 oop total anyway).
** I assigned the cost of the BB TS3 preorder to the ironpack case.
$24.99 - TS3
-05.00 - TRU preorder refund*
-07.50 - BB Ironpack preorder**
-08.00 - Disney coupon
--------
$04.49 - Total

Is Toys R Us refunding the $5 without a receipt? Can't find my receipt, so wondering if I can just hand in my reservation sheet.

Next time have them staple the receipt to the card. But to answer your question, I THINK they can if they want to. They have all transactions in their computer database so they might be able to look yours up based on the credit card you used.

I returned my preorder to TRU.
This may be the one time that preordering at Amazon (during the double $10 glitch with BatB) got me the lowest price possible.
