How Much is the TREMORS: Attack Pack Going for at Best Buy?
Their website says $24.99, which is only $2 less than full retail. Has anyone seen this in store, and is it really $24.99, or a more understandable $19.99?

I can't say for Best Buy, but Costco has it for $17.99.
2 dual sided discs stacked on top of one another with a King Kong ticket in a cardboard slipout. (Sorta like the Don Knotts Hero 4 movie set)

I'm not really interested in other retailers (hell, we don't even have Costco in this area of the nation) because I want to use the last of my Best Buy bucks IF it is $19.99; if it's really $24.99, though, I can still get this cheaper--Best Buy bucks or no Best Buy bucks--at Circuit City. Can anyone clue me in before 12 noon 11/30?

Christ on crutches, yes, I could, but typically, this forum is a much easier and authoritative way to get such info than wading (and waiting) through some lengthy touch-tone menu, then finally speaking with a minimum wage earner who couldn't care less and has probably never even heard of TREMORS. I guess this case isn't typical...

For a roughly 27.00 retail title, 24.99 is Best Buy's standard price. Prices should be the same for both. Sometimes 22.99, but usually 24.99.

A poster at HTF has confirmed that all 4 titles, including the original, are now 16X9; apparently all the extras for 1, 2 and 3 have been ported over (save for some production notes and cast and filmmakers uselessness on the original), but Part 4 apparently had several extras dropped.

BTW, it looks like BB doesn't have Tremors Attack Pack in any store as it is available only online (no in store pick up). You can tell by going to their web site, and finding the DVD in question. Click on it, then look under the "Store Pickup" section (under the price-- right above the "Add to Wishlist" button). In the case of Tremors, it says "not available". If it was stocked in any BB store, then there would be a link which would take you to a page where you could enter your zip code to see which stores stock it in that area.
EDIT: for example, locally 2 BBs have the Mummy Collction for 19.99... that's probably what Tremors would be if they had it.

Anyway,
So far it seems the set is 17.99 with KK ticket.....at costco for cheapest.....not a bad deal but be warned its two flippers, i believe.
I am going to try for one tonight.

The only store I've seen in my area to have either Jurassic Park or Tremors was Wal-Mart. Big display of them like the other poster mentioned.

They're $19.44 at my Local Wal-mart, and so is the Franchise Collection of The Mummy (Mummy, Mummy Returns, Scorpion King). The Franchise Collection Adventure Pack of the Jurassic Park Trilogy was in the same display and only $14.99 at Wal-mart. Great cheap ways to get all these movies and in time for Christmas.
The back of the Jurassic Park and Tremors sets said anamorphic Widescreen for all the movies on the backs of the boxes I picked up.

Yep, I grabbed it a little over an hour ago at Wal-Mart--$19.44, less than $5 per film. Can't beat that, my friends...
