I stopped by my local FYE(houston area) on friday, and saw that they had Simpsons season 9 Lisa Head already out. They're $39.99 with a $10 Mail in rebate($29.99 AR). Its supposed to come out on Tues, but the flyer in the store said it has a release date of 12/12, so I guess thats why they're selling it early. I'm sure most people can wait til tues, but if you cant you can probably pick it up early over there. I went ahead and picked it up since I have their 10% discount card and I couldn't resist picking it up before the release date.

$25 at dvdplanet, no rebates, just with GCO

Fye.com lists it at $24.99 after $10 rebate. The rebate seems to be good for online purchases only.

DVD Planet's $24.96 price with GCO is about the same, but with no rebates to deal with.

I'm gonna go the buy.com/google route with this one. It'd be 27.99 after discount, i'll probably get someothing else for the $20 off $50 though.

or wait and get it for $20 or less within a year

definately the best way to go... but i might bite cause this was my fav season of the simpsons...

That is the perfect way to go if you only want the box versions, but I haven't seen a Marge Head anywhere anymore, so I've been getting the past two heads at release. I woulda been mad if I waited for one of the heads to drop to sub $20, only to not be able to find it anymore.

Does anyone think Costco will have the same $19.99 after instant rebate deal as the last 2 seasons?

All I know is after watching all the other Simpsons seasons drop under $20 within a year, there's no way I'm paying more than $20 for S9. Fortunately I don't care about the "head" boxes, so as long as the normal boxes don't disappear then I'll be fine waiting.

I remember people told me not to wait on Firefly when it was $17.88. Just recently it was $9.29 AR, so waiting usually pays off. I don't feel like I'm missing as much in the later Simpsons episodes.

Yeah, by waiting I almost missed out on the Maggie head version (luckily ended up getting the last copy for 19.99 at Circuit City last month) so I'll be buying 9 and 10 close to release (and $25 with no tax is a decent price anyway)--gotta complete the family

It's $25 if you get it shipped free. Is there a code? Otherwise the price is $28 at dvdplanet.

Ginwen

No code needed. It's $35ish, use Google checkout and choose free shipping, voila $25.

Thanks. I guess I didn't continue far enough into the checkout process before bailing.

DVDPlanet doesn't seem to show the Lisa Head package though, so do they only offer the box version?

I notice Buy.com has a higher price for the Lisa Head packaging ($44.06 compared to $37.99 for the regular box) when it's still the same DVDs inside, does that mean the collectors of the shaped boxes are gonna start getting gouged now?

It will take you to the Lisa-shaped box.

Thanks! I had just clicked on the one on the front page of the site.
