I usually buy the MST3K sets in the sale, with the 20% off it is one of the best deals around on those sets, however, can anyone find volume 10(the most recent) on the website? I'm pretty sure it's not OOP, it is readily available from every other retailer....

If they still have the "Gift sets" go for that. During the last sale they were only about 12 bucks a piece!!!!!!!!

(the DVDPlanet site also appears to be down at the moment)

Best Buy is out of the Fellowship of the Ring set as well. Amazon still has it, and at $22.09 it's not that hard to find one more item to quallify for the free shipping.

Previous sales have begun on Thursday nights IIRC.
It might start this week, but it seems a bit early, strategically. I know the Halloween decorations are down now but are people really in a Christmas buying mode yet? I don't think Hanukkah comes early this year or anything. Getting it a little closer to Black Friday seems more logical, but maybe I just want the Superman set to be covered.

Of course let's all remember that there's never a guarantee that there will be a sale.
And while I wish it would happen, I highly doubt that they'd wait for the end of the month and give us a crack at the Superman tin set.

I was going to say they start on Friday, but looking back at my purchase history for last Summer's sale, I see you're right - it started on Thursday June 8th. Last year's Fall sale started on either November 10th (a Thursday) or the 11th (Friday).
With last November's sale, I remember an ad for it popped up on some site a few days in advance, listing a Friday start date. Then some people tried using codes on Thursday nights and they worked.
So I'm thinking the sales officially begin on Fridays, but the site admins will sometimes activate the codes early so they can knock off for the day.

shouldn't everyone step back, take a deep breath, check your bank account, get your cart ready and stop speculating publicly and be ready? we're not stooopid here on the forum, are we?
and please show some respect for DDDdave (or whoever) once the craziness begins. they go out of their way to work with this forum, so let's not screw it up and have fun with the sale if it happens.
ja ja?

I've usually had a pretty good success rate with slip covers from DDD, so hopefully your little one can get her 'The Little Mermaid' with one.
If you've never taken part in one of these sales...be prepared!!
This particular forum will get pretty crazy around that time, but it's also prtty handy for recommending some titles you might not know about.
