Also The Untouchables complete series (~$33 w/store pickup - Amazon followed a while but bailed out when WM went that low). There were a few others that saved ~$50 over the "normal" prices. The Monday after Mother's Day both were back to mostly the original prices. Since then they've been doing it with other titles/products on a somewhat sporadic basis.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
This is getting very annoying with Amazon repricing items every day. Ordering, cancelling, reordering. I chose slowest shipping, not for the $5 pantry discount but to make sure I can cancel the item each time the price goes down .

I know that Amazon's prices have been fluctuating for years now. More than once I've put something in my cart and had the price change minutes later while I was looking for other items to hit free shipping. Shit, just a couple of weeks ago I clicked buy on a a "buy it now" auction on eBay and the price had jumped up by about $9 on the checkout page. It was an auction I had been watching and when I decided to buy it I went to the auction page that showed the price at about $40, and in the three seconds between opening the page and clicking the buy it now button, it had gone up to just under $50. Seems really fishy, dunno if it's some kind of scam gaming the eBay system or just an unfortunate coincidence. I didn't confirm my purchase and didn't buy the item. |

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I have reordered and canceled 2 blu rays about 4 times over the last 2 days as every time I check the prices have gone down.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on Bad Day at Black Rock so I wouldn't keep getting notifications in my shopping cart about it shifting a few pennies. :lol:

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Finally bit on:
Valley of Gwangi (WAC) - $10.27 World without End (WAC) - $11.06 Bad Day at Black Rock (WAC) - $11.10 Ladyhawke (WAC) - $12.42 The Thing (Shout Factory) - $13.81 $31 with Rewards and some remaining GC. Can definitely live with these prices and didn't want to risk it anymore given 'Miami Vice' went back up by $12 Most certainly confident of scoring 'They Live by Night' for around $15.xx during the upcoming B&N sale, hence passed on it. But if the price wars were to continue, will bite around the $16 price range |

It's ridiculous, but you have to keep checking the price and cancelling/re-ordering until it actually ships. |

https://www.amazon.com/Streets-of-Fi...=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Damn, Streets of Fire is now down to $14.76 Man, I bought it release week for $19.49. I don't regret buying it, it's a great and jam packed set. Worth the money IMO. But, this is an anomaly. These Shout discs rarely drop in price like this only 1 month after it's been out. I can't see it dropping much more. It will eventually go back up. |

Looks like Amazon dropped the pursuit on Angry Red Planet. It's back up to $17.98, while it's dropped even further at Walmart, to $12.75 (after I locked in at $13.01, of course) |

Both were shipped to the house as they didn't offer a pickup discount large enough to bother with, but that one on ARP is superb! |

Also keep an eye on The Beatles' Eight Days a Week - Deluxe edition by Ron Howard. That has been dropping every so often in price as well and is at significant discount for Beatles' product.

At $15.40, it will be equivalent to B&N's price at 50% off + 10% off + 20% off. Think I will bite :-) |
