Even Americans should jump on this deal if they have an interest in Fullmetal Alchemist. Funimation has lost the rights to it and whatever stock is left is it. Buy it now, most anime insiders don't expect to see it reissued for several years.

Darn, bought it for $28.99 at Amazon US on New Year. Didn't think it would get cheaper.

Bit late posting this, but since it still has about 7 hours to go, today's Amazon DOTD is the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection at $89.99 CDN, which is about $79 US shipped to the states.

Another unadvertised sale on Shout titles up here. Not bad by Canadian standards for sure. Haven't compared these to Amazon U.S., but as always, even with cross-border shipping there could be some decent savings for American shoppers provided you order more than one or two discs. As usual, some titles say "ships in X to X months", but past history has proven that even these titles usually ship within a week or so:

$10 / $7.68 US

D'oh! Found a direct link: they're calling it "Deals on Horror Movies" -- despite a couple of titles falling outside that category -- and it runs until Sept. 1

It's a really good deal if an American buys four or more titles at once.

Kedrix

Yeah, that's why I never bother with Amazon.CA....the shipping kills it unless you go overboard on titles. I want two on here, maybe three tops, and then its about ten bucks to ship. Ugh!

Why So Blu?

I wonder if you can opt-in to their PRIME - then cancel it - like you could during the UK PRIME one?

laidbacklarkin

how does that help with S/H to the USA ?

laidbacklarkin

Exactly my point as well. The Prime day offer in the UK only allowed you to get access to Prime special pricing on product, not on international shipping

Why So Blu?

Ah, that's right.

Maybe I'm in some kind of minority of people who do this, but at Amazon U.S., Canada and the U.K. (and to a far lesser extent Germany, Italy and Japan) I keep the "saved for later" sections of my shopping carts full of items -- mostly movies -- that have peaked my interest over the years but for which I didn't want to pay full price. Sometimes stuff sits there for years; there's rarely a rush. When a sale like this comes up but shipping becomes an issue because I can't pick enough items to justify the cost per unit, I can at least skim through those sections of my carts extremely quickly and often find an extra piece or two to add to the order. I also check to see if there are other "deals" running concurrently. Amazon Canada has 17 other deals in the Movies & TV section at the moment, some good, some crap, I'm sure. Obviously there's no guarantee you'll find something to push an order into the comfort zone for shipping, but considering the extremely favorable current exchange rate for American shoppers it's certainly worth poking around. The Shout titles aren't going back down until September, so there's plenty of time, too.

https://www.amazon.ca/dvd-movies-blu...F8&node=917972

Either that or wait and see if the U.S. site has another deal on Shout titles. They had a pretty decent one earlier this year as I recall. The list of titles wasn't so inclusive, but it did feature shows that aren't part of this sale.

BobO'Link

I do that too. Did you know there's a 600 item limit on the "Saved for later" section? I didn't until I put #601 in and lost the last item in the list. My US list stays in the 560-580 range 100% of the time (it's more than movies but they make up the bulk). I've missed a few "deals" over the years and really should set up notices on stuff with camelcamelcamel but I don't check email as often as I do my Amazon carts (email is *not* on my cell phone as I'm one of 10 people in the US who doesn't own one and has no desire to own one).

I use wish lists to keep track of stuff I'm interested in to possibly buy later, which also allow for individualized notes on each item.

Brian T

I learned about that limit the hard way a few years back on the U.S. site (where I spend the most cash, despite being in Canada). At first I assumed I must've deleted several things near the end of the list by accident. A few days later I added a Blu-ray that I knew was at the very bottom of the list in DVD format and when I scrolled there to delete it, it was already gone. I saved one more item for later, which confirmed that there was indeed a limit. That's when I realized I'd probably been leaking items for quite some time, so I decided to move a bunch of stuff to my wish list, then break that into smaller wishlists in various categories. On the overseas accounts, the "saved for later" and wishlists aren't so lengthy, but I also scroll through those in case an extra item or two might help make for an order with justifiable shipping. On the U.S. site, I qualify for free shipping because of my U.S. mailing addresses, but overseas I have to compare shipping to Canada and the U.S. before placing the order.

Oddly enough, the vast majority of products on my lists is just stuff I'm moderately curious about, but would only buy at bargain basement prices, either from Amazon or from a third-party seller (like when booksellers offer like-new books for a penny, etc.). That's why so much of it tends to sit there for years and years.

I hear ya on the phone. I have a cell, but it's an antique flip phone with no internet and only about seven people have the number. Mind you, I do have an iPad and iPod, and the office has WiFi, so checking email is fairly easy, but so is checking my various Amazon carts for price updates. Sigh . . .

Kedrix

Oh, I have decent wish lists for Amazon UK, France, and Germany...it's just that not enough interests me on the Canadian site, especially after I got those Avengers blu-ray cartoons (which I got somewhere else anyway). I'll stick with the European ones...about to do one from France on some Gaumont titles.

BobO'Link

The problem I have with the wish lists is they don't automatically show you what went up/down in price when you open one. They only show you the price when you added it to your list and the current price. With the "saved for later" you get instant price updates when you select "cart."

andicus

Yeah, the updated price in your saved items/cart is definitely the way to shop on any amazon site. That's how I finally ordered The Car on Blu-ray. I didn't realize it was part of a larger sale until I saw your post, here.

I only wish there was a way to set a threshold to avoid seeing notifications about items changing by a couple of cents.

orangerunner

I found a few deals at the local Dollarama for $3 each.

Boyhood (digipak)
Afternoon Delight
Third Person (Paul Haggis)
The Company Men

Battle in Seattle

THE COMPLETE SCREAM COLLECTION (1-4) is down to $17.99 CDN / $13.55 US.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B006DVB6C6/

Pretty sure that's an all time low, and it's the only way to get all four films (plus the documentaries on a fifth disc) all in one set.
