What types of movies does TRU typically carry for good prices? I never shop there and want to figure if it is worth it to me to get the $10 GC if I cannot use it until another purchase.

Yes you can use the gift card on the movies when they come in, as I said in a previous post a manager I work with said it would be fine (I work at TRU).
This offer is good until February 28th, so all pre-orders must be made before then.

I kind of like the lithos you can get from the disney store, i know they have them for the incredibles but not sure about bambi, i havent put in my preorders yet. You pay full price but the lithos to me are worth more than the $5 i save. The nemo lithos look great in my sons room. As his "favorite" changes so can the artwork on his wall.

The price on the tickets say 19.99, then 14.99 when you come in, BUT like I said, they will come in at 15. And since you paid five bucks down, it's ONLY ten bucks each. You can use your gift card on them...so what you will end up paying is 5 bucks a movie IF you use your gift card.

2x$20=$40
-$10 deposit
$30 owed, $10 put in
-$10 giftcard
$20 owed, $10 put in out of pocket
Price per movie is $15 per.
At $15, then each movie would cost $10 out-of-pocket.
Remember that even though you are putting $5 down for each movie, you are still gonna get $5 MORE off each (or $10 off each total) when you present your pre-order slip and giftcard.
