Come to think of it, Amazon shouldn't have any sales at all during the holidays. Because they know the potential to sellout quickly, is very possible and more than likely will not reach the entire deadline of that sale.

Glad I set my alarm for 2:59am last night. My Bond 50 box just shipped!

Their DoD's happen 365 days a year, and they DO sometimes sell out before the end of the day. This is nothing new. Granted, today's sold out quicker than most, but there is never a guarantee the item will last all day. They always have a limited quantity available.

Lol. I'm with you, Dirk. My gf is cool about the hobby most of the time, but has a breaking point as most do and probably should. However she just returned from a trip with her mother and is bound and determined not to be like her mother and that includes no incessant complaining about spending too much. It's a window of opportunity and coincided well with this year's Black Friday.

I feel the same damn way about getting packages as some of you. Whenever I'm home and here the doorbell ring and I know it's something for me I feel like I have to do the walk of shame. Especially when it's stuff coming in a few days in a row or a couple days a week.

Here's a way to get a $10 coupon when you buy the Bond set.
If you have a Citi card and enter CITIBNK2 during checkout it will get you a $10 off $50 purchase coupon later on.
Details at this link.

It's not a "Deal FOR the Day."
"Deal of the Day" doesn't imply that it'll be there all day. It has never worked that way. Amazon doesn't claim it does.
Retailers or E-tailers will hardly, if ever, offer such a great deal no questions asked, for as many people that want the deal. That's why the phrase "while supplies last" was invented. As has been mentioned, retailers negotiate a price on so many units to use specifically for a deal to sell at a discount. Once those units are gone... the supply is gone. They can't, nor should you expect them, take a hit on inventory that cost them regular price. Just because Amazon is a massive retail monster doesn't mean we all get the milk them dry. If you want these deals available at all, they have to limit the quantity sold.

The Bond set was available for several hours. I'd like to know how many boxsets they sold because it had to be well into the thousands. This wasn't some lame understocked deal just to get us to their website.

Re: Bond 22 film set $99.99 Deal of Day Amazon 11/24
I entered the code. I think it said "promotion applied" or something like that. My amazon account has a citicard linked to it. But I don't see any mention of it on the order link and I didnt receive anything saying I had the coupon. Any idea on how you know if you got it? Should I be complaining to someone if I didnt?

Amazon.com will use reasonable efforts to send your individual promotion code via email by December 18, 2012; however, Amazon.com accepts no responsibility or liability in the event that your individual promotion code is sent later than such date.

I almost bought this this morning but I am hoping for a deeper discount when skyfall hit br, or perhaps the same price for this and skyfall together.

I really wanted to get this but was in Athens for the UGA-GT game so wasn't near a computer and forgot to charge my phone...DOH!!
Oh well, I have them all on DVD so that will last me until I can get the set at a later time.

Wasn't the Bond 50 a limited edition set to begin with? If my memory serves me right, why is there an automatic assumption the set will be available this time next year AND cheaper?
While its certainly possible, I wouldn't bank on it.

Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
I guess it's been mentioned, but I don't remember a DOTD selling out.. In fact there were times I would intentionally wait until late in the day when it was OOS to order an item I was unsure I really wanted. That way I could think about it a little before some more got in and it shipped. I guess I just missed those posts or never had it happen to me before.

"Limited Edition" is uses loosely for Home Video.

You get the coupon later. In the terms it mentions the $10 coupon code will get sent out around December 18. May want to copy and save all the terms just in case it gets removed later by Amazon. Then if you don't get it when promised you can contact Amazon customer service about it.
Also: iirc, there was talk of a mini version of the recent Bond poster book included with this set. Does anyone know if that's the case? Or is it just the BD's (not that I'm complaining if there's no book- its still an awesome deal- just wondering)?

Only the initial shipments of the set when it was first released had the book attached. Now you will get the set by itself. Still a great deal as you said.

I don't see what the problem would be if your order was $50 or more and you entered the code correctly. You mentioned you saw it said the promotion applied after entering the code. I would assume that indicates it went through and your order qualified. You just have to wait it out.
