Superman: Unbound w/ Best Buy exclusive figurine (Blu+DVD+DC) $14.99
Great Escape - 4.99
Lincoln Lawyer (w/ slip) - 4.99
Spy Kids 4 3D - 4.99
Teen Wolf - 4.99 (non-U&S)
Almost all the stuff I did return/rebuys for ended up being either 4.99 or ended up in the store. My local store did a restock for Limitless, so for those that are still looking for it, check again.

Oddly enough, I was hoping to get Thumbelina but it was already on sale for $5 along with other Don Bluth films. (I had interviewed Bluth for this film and he sent me a cel from the movie so I wanted to get it for sentimental reasons, plus I really like it.)
Coupon wise, I picked up The Great Escape, Smokey and the Bandit and Monty Python and the Holy Grail for $5 each; Best of Both Worlds for $12 and Jack Reacher for $15.

Anyone know how much the Warner steelbooks are with the U&S? I know they are $12.96 each at Wal-mart but I was hoping they would be < $10

For those of you who have ordered titles online with the intent of returning and repurchasing in store so as to use U&S credit, this info may be of use.
I had ordered the Blade Runner 30th anniversary Blu-ray digibook. After receiving it in the mail, I took it to a Best Buy to return. The rep at customer service understood exactly what I was doing and thought it would work, no problem. However, after processing the return using the product code found on the shipping invoice (the bar code on the product didn't work), when she got around to performing the repurchase, the invoice code wasn't recognized by her register. Apparently, the online product code, while it could be used to process a return, cannot be used to make a purchase in store. In other words, if the online item was never intended to be sold in a physical store, then it cannot be sold in a store.
I was told that they could not sell me the item again. (I guess it gets sent back to whatever shipping facility it left from en route to me.) Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed, also considering they had processed my DVD and had me sign a paper stating it was going to be recycled. They wouldn't give me back the DVD, so I left with a coupon, something I don't like doing.
I have purchased Blu-ray titles online and returned/repurchased them in store before, but I'm guessing those were instances where the title was available to sell in a store, they just were out of stock at my stores. And I suppose some clerks might try and circumvent the system by entering prices manually on the Blade Runner title I was trying to repurchase. I didn't experience any of that, though.

I was in earlier in the week and grabbed Final Destination 3 ($4.99), Avatar 3D ($14.99), and The Sandlot ($4.99).
I went in today to use my remaining coupon intending to get Jack Reacher, but ended up with Wizards 35th Anniversary Edition Digibook ($9.99) instead. I'll have to grab a couple more DVD's to get Jack Reacher before the end of the week, and was going to try an Express Lane order for Final Destination 2 (w/U&S).

Did anyone happen to notice Fringe Season 5 with a lenticular cover? Mine didn't have it, and I find it odd that the first 4 seasons had it and this one doesn't.

Best Buy also had an exclusive S3 Lenticular, but it was never on sale when the regular release was on sale. I know ... my store had one for a LONG time and it never dropped below the sticker of $47.99.

Hopefully my Best Buy has the Fast and Furious setup when I go later this week - I'll be able to complete my Fast and Furious (on Blu-Ray) collection by getting Toyko Drift for $4.99 - also will pickup one of those other Blu-Rays in the set-up so I'll have two tickets (and take a friend) to see the new Fast and Furious movie.

I went today hoping to find them but my store had none. I checked the other forums real quick and I didn't see any reports of people finding them at Best Buy. Only Walmart.

Picked up
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D $14.99 ac
Resident Evil: Retribution $14.99 ac
A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Shop $4.99 ac
The Raid: Redemption $4.99 ac
So I go over to Customer Service and get a Geek Squad checker, while going through my trade ins she is very talkative and friendly "Goonies ?!? Awesome!" then she gets to Femalien and goes silent. After going through the rest of the stack in silence she turns to another employee and says "Are their rules for what can be traded in?" THen flips through the pile and and shows him Femalian. So I wait there for awhile while they make meaningful eye contact and then finally go over the rules of the promotion "you can trade in an dvd...yada yada ... except pornography, of which this is not." He says "Yeah he's right" and then goes back to his customer who is also staring at us. what follows was a quick checkout where she apologized saying she wasn't used to dealing with customers?
The whole thing was really offputting.
But she did put the trade in receipt in my bag and all 4 trade in coupons so at least 8 discounts are free.

I swap the cases on all the DVDs I trade in with Eco Cases, gasp!
Also another weird cs experience. I had the physical coupons this time and the cashier called the manager over to check out "some random coupons". When I asked him if he was aware of the Upgrade and save program he said "I have been working here 6 years and I have never seen anything like this". The manager came over, looked at him for a second and then scanned the barcodes on the coupons and walked off.
Decided to get this Firefly thing everyone has been raving about all these years. $20 for the series, the movie and a ticket to Oblivion seemed like a decent deal.

The Thing (Prequel & Oblivion Ticket)
All $5 after u&s, The Thing rang up $14.99 but I had them match the tag on the Shelf for $9.99.
But I think their DVD/BR section shrank since the last time I was in!

Picks up To Rome With Love today.
That was a nice surprise to see that one for $10 since it has been hovering around $30 since it was released.
Also grabbed seven of those $5 blus.

Tried this for the first time today, to order Gamer 3D which NO stores received (released today, but has an 8-digit SKU) but they would not let me use the U&S coupon. Oh well. I can't believe they aren't carrying a new release in-store. I know it is a catalog title, but seeing as the 3D makes it new, I would have thought that stores would at least get a few in.
