Re: TARGET Blu-ray bargains
LOL! Love the "Monk" reference.
No, it's not too late because when I get home, I wipe the stuff down with Clorox anti-bacterial wipes, and then wash my own hands. You might think it is overkill, but I've seen people sneeze into their hands and then grab something off the shelf. Or just not cover their mouth when they sneeze. It's pretty gross. What's worse is seeing at the grocery store. So, you just don't know what kind of germs you are bringing into your home. A few minutes of wiping the stuff down is worth not getting sick.
I'm not a germiphobe like Howie Mandel; I'm just overly cautious. But, I haven't been sick (like the flu or cold) since at least 2007.

But whatever, I set at least two alarms for when I have to wake up early. To each his own.

I didn't see any of these Blu's either.. but did see the Fast & Furious Movies for $13 at Target.. Best Buy matched the price and all of them came with tickets to see Fast Five in Theaters... very cool

Re: TARGET Blu-ray bargains
I went today and got Snow White and Pinocchio, asked the guy working there about the lack of slip covers on ALL releases - he said the warehouse throws them away before they ship to them now because people were complaining that they were damaged by the cases. He said that a lot of people bitch about the slip covers not being sold with the movies now....what a waste.

Sony said a while ago they were going to stop using these because they wanted to be more 'environmentally responsible', but their new "Stand by Me" Blu-Ray has one!

If someone sees a "Gun In Betty Lou's Handbag" for $5, I would appreciate it....no where to be found locally. I can make it worth your while.

I noticed the local Target had the original 5 (Another Stakeout, Big Business, Gross Anatomy, Straight Talk, and America's National Treasures) all on sale through 4/23 for $3.99.

Re: TARGET Blu-ray bargains
Jesus f'ing Christ, this is EXACTLY why the studios should SHRINKWRAP the fucking things! If they were shrinkwrapped, stores couldn't ruin them with price tags or throw them out! I've complained to Di$ney about this, I've passed up MANY impulse buys because of slipcovers being in bad shape, so why the fuck do they keep doing this??? Has anyone purposely bought a disc specifically because it came with a damaged cover?

Well that too- if they put something on an expensive box set that eats into the thing, don't expect anyone to pay full price for it. If anything, it'll just be a challenge for someone to try and steal.

I saw these at ONE Target here, but don't remember which one. I figured they'd pop up everywhere by now, but obviously they haven't. For $3.99, I'd get some, if I can find them...

Re: TARGET Blu-ray bargains
The Fast & the Furious films are $8.99. Instead of the $13 shelf price. I got the first one and the fourth film.
It's an unadvertised sale, so don't know how long the sale lasts.

Re: TARGET Blu-ray bargains
I know there was uncertainty, and I guess my post was a little snarky, but I was just letting blucadet know when he/she missed out on the deal.
