Re: $15 Coupon for Once Upon a Time Season 2
Just noticed we have 2 threads on this subject in different forums...
Given that Target has the best deal @ $37.99 before coupon (and given that my BBs would 99% likely refuse to PM Target and take a $15 mfg coupon at the same time claiming it's double dipping), how many copies do people think Target will get of OUTA S2 BD? My guess is 2. In the past I used to be able to get to Target when they open, but my lying gestappo work now forces me to come in before Target opens so I can't get to Target until late afternoon.
I assume Amazon will PM Target's $37.99 with the $15 coupon, so perhaps I should just keep my Amazon order even though I'd like to get the extra 5% off for the RC because I have a feeling all Targets will be OOS of all 2-4 copies they get within a few hours and probably won't get any more copies until the day after the $15 coupon expires.
I didn't think about Walmart earlier, but they are usually willing to PM and take a mfg coupon (though sometimes they call over supervisors and managers to scrutinize it), so the issue there will be... will dear old Wally World even bother to carry this in store and if so will it also be a couple copies like Target? You never know. That's the killer about Amazon preorders... they ship on (or before) release date and you never know if local stores will have any inventory until after you had to decide whether to cancel your Amazon preorder. Maybe I should just roll dice... it would be equally accurate as guessing.

I wasn't planning on buying this release but the coupon has made it too tempting. I really like the show and missed several episodes this season.

Good Lord, just buy it somewhere, take the shrinkwrap off, actually put the discs in the player and watch them and move on! I know others have brought this up to you before but do you watch the majority of your collection or do you just spend more time obsessing how much you can save at this or that store? Try to enjoy your collection rather than worrying about the lowest possible price for something you likely won't end up watching anyway.
I have never seen Manzana actually talk about movies or TV. 99.9% of his posts are obsessing about prices, how Best Buy treats him like shit, and about stuff that he will likely never watch.
I'd like Manzana to actually watch the shit he owns and stop obsessing about every freaking bargain.

Re: $15 Coupon for Once Upon a Time Season 2
If you preordered it last October you got the coupon at Amazon -- I must admit it the longest Preorder I've ever sat on.
I just cancelled it -- it's getting more than a bit irritating that Amazon seems to never be a price setter to set the bar anymore most particularly on new releases. They seem to be perfectly content just to passively match whatever BBY/WM/Target does. I'm rewarding the B&M for taking the lead -- BBY RZ, gift cards,. Target Redcard balance out the Sales Tax difference most of the
time

That makes no sense.

The days of Amazon undercutting the B&M competition on pricing are over. They are clearly focusing their efforts now on consumers who care about convenience over pricing.
It's a shame that Walmart doesn't seem interested in establishing a viable online business.

Can somebody PLEASE scan a copy of your printed $15 bluray coupon for OUAT ssn 2? I am trying to print at the library but it won't allow me to use the coupon site on their computers. Please!

For anyone who buys this on Tuesday, please report back if there is any $10 off coupon inside the packaging.

Re: $15 Coupon for Once Upon a Time Season 2
So it's a pure wash to me. Normally I would've gone the B&M route because if I decided to return it's easier with no shipping cost. However (and this is the big however), Target's inventory on many recent releases have been despicable... 4 copies for the whole week which are gone within the first 1-2 hours. Sometimes they really strain themselves and get a whole 12 copies for the week, but if you live in an area with 50,000 people within a few miles, those 12 copies don't last long. Bottomline: I'll pay 28 cents more to be guaranteed to get a copy than to have to fight/worry about Target being OOS before I get to the store because they are too cheap to invest in a sufficient amount of copies (probably ditto for Walmart and BB). The fact my evil job screwed my schedule over and I can no longer get to Target between 8-10 AM ever, that was the final factor. A bird in the hand (Amazon) is worth 2 in the bush (B&M).

I think I saw today on the Anderson rep's cart. I didn't stop to count, but it didn't look like a lot. Maybe 10 or less.
