Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

Another Disney coupon from Amazon. $8 off Frankenweenie 3D. Price after coupon is $26.99. I pre-ordered and will wait and see if the price comes down.

Thanks for the post. I really loved this movie, so I will be ordering it and hedging my bets.

Cool, I'm looking forward to this one. Hopefully with the coupon the price will eventually drop to $20 or so.

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

What should I do here... I saw Frankenweenie 3D this week with a free DMR movie ticket, and I didn't care for it much. I was the only one in the theater too. It wasn't a bad movie... just not good or memorable. I enjoyed TNBC and Corpse Bride a lot more. It's just yet another unoriginal Frankenstein rehash but this time with creepy looking puppets. Something inside of me just can't pay more than $15 for this 3D BD, and even if Amazon drops the price to $24.99, it would be $16.99. It's a virtual guarantee to drop to $29.99 before coupon and maybe even $26.99, but anything lower is unlikely. So I'd probably be wasting my time preordering this. Now if it were a good movie like Hotel Transylvania, I could justify dropping $20 for the 3D BD.

I'd rather just wait a couple years for a $15 or less deal. Of all the many movies I have, watching Frankenweenie any time soon is near the bottom of the list. I still dream of catching a 3 for $21 Gohastings deal that includes used 3D titles like I missed last time. Oh how I hate that 3D BD new releases are usually so expensive (The Avengers being an exception).

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

I really loved the film- even just technically speaking it was completely beautiful to watch.

I'm definitely in for the pre-order, especially considering an inevitable price drop. And Amazon doesn't have a non 3D version listed. I hope that's just temporary and not just another way to push the sale of 3D Bluray.

Amazon dropped the price down to $27.99, making it $19.99 after the coupon. Not bad for a new 3D release.

Nice. I was hoping for that drop.

$20 isn't to shabby for a release day 3D blu from disney.

Good to hear ... I was tempted to cancel my pre-order, but for $20, I'll keep it.

I thought about doing the same thing. I figure I would just pick up a used copy from GoHastings like I did with Secret of the Wings 3D today. But I will keep my order from Amazon.com

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

The coupon is looooong gone. Amazon coupons are always available for a limited time, several months before the title is released. Not sure why they do it that way, but that's how they do it. Most of the time, they don't even have a release date yet.

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

Mine showed 29.99 then subtracted the 8.00. When did it drop to 27.99? They better not have screwed me because I have Prime.

It will price adjust on Wednesday most likely, don't worry. You will get the credit.

Sorry... I have to ask a dumb question. What is a "quick picks" discount at Amazon? I've never once seen or been offered one of those. Is it like the Gold Box with its whopping 5% off or is it a bigger discount? I assume you have to be offered this "quick pick" before you buy which meant many weeks ago before the $8 Frankenweenie coupon expired?

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

Quick Picks is the the section of your Gold Box that gives you an additional 5% discount on items selected specifically for you.

Yes, you're correct, this was a long time ago. Frankenweenie showed up in my Quick Picks list while the $8 coupon was active. And since the Quick Picks discount is applied to the pre-coupon price, I got this for $18.59 after 5% discount and $8 coupon.

Thanks for the info. Then I guess Gold Box == quick picks. Maybe I haven't paid any attention to the name. I assume it's the same section at the bottom of your current deals where it lists a handful of Gold Box items with an additional 5%? Unfortunately my discounted items are 99% stuff I'd never want or that's massively overpriced. I almost never get a discount on something I want, and though I heard there was some way to make it give you certain discounts by playing games adding stuff to your wishlist, I never had time to do that.

Do you need to "enable" Quick Picks?

I have been searching for years trying to figure this out.

Nope. If you don't buy anything from Amazon for a really really long time, there are days where the quick picks may be empty. Not very often though... One day recently I went searching for old Amazon accounts I had opened years ago, just to see what was in the gold box. All but one of them had quick picks...

Re: Amazon Coupon: $8 Off Frankenweenie 3D

One odd thing I noticed about Quick Picks: I'm from Canada, and therefore the stuff I'm allowed to order is mostly limited to films/music. However, I frequently get random items showing up, despite me not even being able to place an order if I wanted. I guess they must be "promoted" by the manufacturer or something.
