This week Target is having a buy 2 get 1 free on movies. I believe it includes pretty much everything including 4K with just a couple exclusions, not like the last time they did it when it was only select titles.
The B2G1 also applies to books, games and video games and you can mix and match.

Best sale(s) of last year (for me) are back again and this time runs thru the 25th.

As before, books and CDs as well as movies are included and mixing and matching is allowed.

Some deals of note-
A lot of Shout/Scream Factory pre-orders are included
Thin Man from WA is back in stock as is this months current batch (still missing a few from previous months though)
Many previously released Criterions run around $22.99 making them in the under $16 range if you order with a Red Card.

These Target sales are just about the last decent media sales anywhere left outside of the 4th quarter.

Why So Blu?

Looks like they just added more items to the inventory. Last night I had Starman, In the Mouth of Madness in my cart, but Vampires was not available. I typed it in just now and it was there, so snagged those 3 titles, which are the 3 JC Shout Factory titles that I needed. Total was $60 shipped, even with the sales tax.

PhantomStranger

Amazon has a limited matching sale.

Why So Blu?

Not that good of a sale -- it's buy 3 get 1 free.

The third item is free. It is actually B2G1.

Why So Blu?

Ah, I read it wrong.

I preordered Edge of the Axe, My Bloody Valentine (how many different releases am I up to now?), and April Fool's Day.

You were lucky to get Edge of the Axe, it sold out quick.

Brian T

Picked up some +/-$25 Shout discs at $17.50 each shipped. Still wish they were cheaper, but this will do:

X The Unknown
Dracula
Matinee
Jonny Quest Series
This Gun For Hire
The Body Snatcher

I waited too long on Until The End Of The World and Gregory's Girl. Both are out of stock now.
Given this sale is only a week this time, I don't think anything will be coming back in stock before it's over.

Why So Blu?

I got an email today saying that they were splitting my order up. Starman and In the Mouth of Madness shipped but Vampires doesn't ship until first week of February.

I got a few Criterion for about $15.33 each:
Polyester
1984
The Lure

Also got some things that have been hanging out in my wishlist for about $10 each:
Naked Gun Trilogy
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions
Evil Dead 2 4K

I tried to order Jonny Quest Tuesday night and it was out of stock, -it wasn't on Sunday/Monday. This morning I got an e-mail that it was re-stocked, -so it can happen.

Paul_SD

Thank you for pointing that out! The price on UTEotW wasn't as compelling as with some the other Criterions, so I let it slide.

However I was also looking to get Kitten With A Whip, but it too became unavailable while it was sitting in my cart. In the past I thought simply searching for a title would "activate" an algorithm to spur a reorder/restocking. It took having to hit the "notify me" button.
Another copy was up and available in hours. Great tip to know in the future if they continue these sales.

Toddarino

If half the things I wanted were in stock, I’d be fucked. I’ve already spent so much.

PhantomStranger

I have no idea how Target is making money on these B2G1 sales. Is taking a loss through the online business a mea culpa for shrinking their media sections?

DWilson

I got two more "re-stock" notifications late Friday night. Unfortunately, they all had different price points and I couldn't group them in a way beneficial to me.

Maybe to drive people to ordering from them more often. I was surprised at the selection they have, ordered Long Day's Journey Into Night which I'll probably never find in any stores here. I have a few issues with Amazon so try to order from other places as much as possible, which I've had to do more of with practically no place left to buy odd releases.

Giles

interesting we're bumping off from an original thread dating back to February of last year - anyhow - didn't go as crazy as the prior B2G1 deal and went with three Shout titles:

Prophecy
My Bloody Valentine
April Fool's Day

DVD Josh

Went crazy as usual. With the RC additional discount, it's hard to pass up.

Paul_SD

Same.

I'll lie dormant now for quite a while. Don't even think I can make use of a Kino sale if they have one in February. With the Target sales and pre-orders at sale prices, I'm just about up to date on all the Kino's I was interested in.
Doubt I could find enough to even get to free shipping then.

Toddarino

A Kino sale will be very ill timed right now. There’s almost a dozen titles I wanna pick up.
