Thanks.

For those in the Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City area...I would bet Neb. Furniture Mart will offer this for $19.99 or less. The trend the last couple of Sunday fliers have a top release a the lowest price in town. Karate Kid is on sale for $15.97, so I would imagine HTTYD will be in that range too.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Still hope Nebraska Furniture mart have it for $14.98 or less :)

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Still have my $18.99 Amazon pre-order :cool:

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I have no problem waiting for this to become cheap.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I see this being a cheap title on Black Friday

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I'm thinking Ultimate Electronics will have it a little lower than BB- maybe 19.95 or 20.95. They've been coming in a couple dollars cheaper than BB on most of the major new releases, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Thanks for compiling prices lizard, unfortunately they're all too pricey. I've been wanting to see this, I guess I wait a little longer.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

$22.99 at Best Buy isn't too bad with a child's Megamind movie ticket included (probably $7.50 which is .50 shy of a matinee ticket here). Most theaters don't care if it says childs, just the $ amount toward whatever ticket you want.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I'm happy with my Amazon order. This is probably my favorite movie of the year, so it's a must buy for me :)

You were fortunate to get in on that price, it didn't last long. I have one with a $1.15 Gold Box discount, which helps some.
I'd be surprised if such a recent release became a Black Friday loss-leader next month, but I suppose it could happen.
Yes, it is easily my favorite movie of the year thus far—even though I don't usually care for kids' animated movies—and it is a rare BD I plan to get right away because I want to give one as a gift to a friend. The problem is that those Disney coupons have spoiled me when it comes to new releases of animated BDs.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

It's possible :shrug: Monsters vs. Aliens got pretty cheap last year

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

$10 at both Amazon and Best Buy. So did Wolverine and a couple others which were new at the time.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

was it Best Buy's ad that talk's about a bonus short movie included??

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Pretty sure that's on all copies. On the BD and as a 2nd disc on the DVD version.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I can confirm that sotra is right.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Ultimate Electronics - $21.95

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

walmart ad says $20

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Looks like Walmart may have another Iron Man 2 fiasco on their hands. The ad says $24.96 for the DVD version and $20 for BD. I'm guessing those are meant to be reversed. However, the DVD version is showing at $16.96 online and the BD is $22.96. Way to go, Walmart. :rolleyes:

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Anyone have any details on that bonus movie?

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Nebraska Furniture Mart Ad have DVD version for $10 (1st 200 customers only).

In looking at the ad, it seems possible that the $20 price isn't a mistake. There are three versions of "Dragon": single disc DVD, double disc DVD and BD/DVD combo. The ad shows a picture of the double disc Special Edition DVD with the price of $24.96 and then says "Blu-ray Disc, $20". It may be that the single disc version is even lower in price if Wal-mart will be selling it. It isn't that unusual for a BD to be cheaper than the SE DVD. Just guessing, of course.

FWIW, walmart.com has the single disc DVD for $16.96, the BD for $22.96 and the SE DVD for $24.86.

Be aware that this ad is only good through Saturday October 16th!http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/3465/walmartad.jpg

This one?:
Legend of the BoneKnapper Dragon (1.78:1; 1080p/24; Dolby TrueHD 7.1; 0:16.33) — Hiccup and the gang go on a new adventure to track down a scary new dragon covered in bones. This animated short combines hand drawn and CGI animation for a fun new adventure from DreamWorks that nicely extends the world of How to Train Your Dragon.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Thanks for the info! It should really be advertised as a bonus short and not a bonus movie.

Agree with that.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

My local Wal-Mart ad (Northeast Ohio) for the week shows the 2 disc DVD as $24.96 and says below it "Blu-ray Disc, $20". Should be interesting what they will be selling it for on Friday.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

It should be noted that release at Wal-Mart is just a 1-Disc Blu-Ray.

Much like with Nightmare on Elm Street and Splice, it doesn't have the DVD copy.

^Yes, the single disc BD has now appeared on the website for $19.96 as well. Thanks for posting that.

Although the single disc BD listing at walmart.com lists the same extras that the BD/DVD set does, I can't be sure that the it does include all of them. However, it seems likely that it is just the same BD disc from the BD/DVD set.

I would guess that the best strategy would be to price-match at another store if one wants the BD and DVD set.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Since it is not pictured in the ad, but just simply listed one might get a PM. $20 at BBy with a movieticket and I might bite.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

same here. I thought that too.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

The year of it's release (a few months after actually) the Blu-ray version of Monsters VS. Aliens on Black Friday was close to $10. I'll wait for Black Friday too.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

personally iam holding off till the 3D version is no longer an exclusive

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Went to Walmart this morning to check the in-store prices. Single disc blu-ray was $19.96, blu-ray/dvd combo pack was 26 bucks. picked up the combo pack at Target for 24.99, which included a coupon for a free 6-pack of popcorn.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

These prices seem pretty high. Anyone have any luck knocking down the price?

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Like Yoda, my single-disc BD at Wal-Mart was $19.96.

I was going to give it a try by seeing if I could get Target or Hastings to match the Wal-mart ad price, but my Amazon pre-order shipped yesterday before I could get it canceled. It isn't worth the 70 mile trip to save a few dollars over the Amazon price anyway (and I had a gold box discount for one of the two copies I ordered).

$19.96 IS pretty high (as compared to Disney coupon deals); I was hoping for better. As others above have said above, HTTYD might go for much lower on Black Friday. I am skeptical, but would like to be wrong since I'd like to pick up another copy for a gift. Otherwise, it certainly will be much cheaper in six months or a year.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

The prices seem normal for a new release, which are typically in the $22 - 25 range.

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

I got mine this morning for $1.50 on BD from redbox... but I have to take it back tomorrow. ;)

Re: Lowest Prices for "How to Train Your Dragon" (Oct 15)?
 

Well I got mine from BBE on DVD for free with code GT17A, watched it this morning then went to BBY and PMed WM for $20 and then went to Target and PMed WM again so I can return and rebuy if it drops below 20 within 90 days.
