I see an expired deal for Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited 1-4. Anyone know how much it was? I hope they do it again later this month...

Awww...I feel the same sense of missing out with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I've learned over the past few years that the best deals on Amazon (other than those lightning deals that very few of us get a chance to purchase because they seem to sell out so fast) come BEFORE Thanksgiving and not after it.
That said, the selection/bargains so far seem either relatively poor or just the same titles that have been put on sale in previous years. Hoping things amp up a bit Thanksgiving week...I usually spend a couple hundred on cheap catalog stuff I never got around to buying this time of the year.

I ended up picking up the Peanuts Holiday Collection for $18.99. I never bought the DVDs, so that price for the Blu Ray set seemed reasonable.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
The current deal is for "The Goonies: 25th Anniversary BR" for 14.49. When you click on it, it's still full price. I had to figure out how to contact them and they did change the price, but only after I placed the order. Just wanted to give anyone else who wanted it a heads up.

Amazon must have fixed the glitch after I (or someone else) reported it, but when I wrote my comment, they had not.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Wow, I just saw this and grabbed it with 53 seconds (!) left in the lightning deal. Thanks for the heads-up. I assume the upgrade from DVD is worth it at that price?

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I'm not expecting much from Amazon because they are followers and not leaders in pricing. There's no way I'll remember to check this thread often enough. I hope people can keep a running list of what's on sale for what price.
Given that Amazon is a follower, I expect this year's BF to be like last year's where it's about 90% a repeat of the same items and prices that BB, Target and Walmart have in their BF ads, so the only reason to order from Amazon is if you don't think you can get your hands on it at one of the other stores.
And on a side note (unrelated to Amazon), I'm hating stores even more for starting the BF madness at 6 PM on Thanksgiving. It barely leaves you time for Thanksgiving dinner. Next year I bet they'll start even earlier and soon it'll be Black Thanksgiving starting at 6 AM and then Thanksgiving at midnight and then Wednesday at 10 PM and then Wednesday at 6 PM when some of us are still at work. B&M stores, please lay off! I think anything earlier than 8 PM on Thanksgiving is totally unacceptable, yet we have to accept it. I wish the employees at these stores could boycott them and refuse to go into work early so that stores will stop trying to turn what should be a restful holiday with family into another day of shopping madness. I'm already on the edge of getting burned out by BF, and they're starting to push it. I keep thinking someday I'll say "it's not worth it" and just ignore BF week like it doesn't exist, but my willpower/anger hasn't quite reached the necessary level yet.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I agree with your sentiments RE: opening times Manzana. Not to sidetrack this thread too far from its intended purpose, but I think next year we may see some stores start some deals on that Wednesday night (say 10 PM or something) and be open for 4 or 5 hours with a round of door busters, then close and open up at 10 PM on Thanksgiving or 12 AM on that Friday with a new round of DB and weekend deals.
That way you aren't taking away Thanksgiving Day like is happening more so this year than in the past.
On a note related to Amazon, hopefully they surprise people and have a broader selection of items on sale than what you will find at the B&M places.
