But these films are definitely bargain price fodder, and we will continue to see them really cheap.
Not attacking the quality, I own them, just saying that $21 for all three is nothing to get too excited about.

It's their mistake that it is stickered less than their system states it should be priced at.

Well, I got curious, and my local BB store rang them up as $34.99 as well. The lady said..."Hmm...the price changed." She then started to remove the $27.99 stickers from the other sets. There was no $6 coupon either, so I walked away. I'll get it later. $27.99 is a tad high for me right now anyway, and at $34.99, there's no way.
I'm not sure if this was an error, and the sets will be $34.99 with a $6 coupon, but they need to get their pricing correct. Especially since the $27.99 stickers were already created and on the sets.

I didn't even have time to have her bring it down to 27.99 first because she totaled it so quickly. She was the store manager too so I couldn't have had her bring it down. Oh well.

tell me what blockbuster owes him?
I had a great experience here in okc with a store manager. rang up 27.99. i mentioned i saw on a website that this was ringing up many places for 20.99 with an automatic 7 dollar coupon but no coupon was ringing up for me. he said no problem, i will ring it up for you on my account and take off 7 bucks...

The copies at the store that I rewnt from had no sticker price on them. They rang up at 34.99 minus the 6 dollar discount. Still a bit much for me so I passed. I am waiting to get the first 2 plus the director's cut on Blu-Ray on the cheap since I already own an incarnation of each flick on SD. Kind of growing tired of shit just piling up around my house.

Back on topic, I wish BB had this on sale for $22 or less. Even though I only need the third, and expect it to be cheap soon, I'd pay up to $22 to get the cool packaging and the free ticket to 4.

I stopped by 2 locations. They both had the sets labeled for 27.99, but the lines were too long so I didn't see how much they rang up. I mainly wanted the Director's Cut for 6.99, like reported earlier in this thread. But neither of my stores had them. The display was full of the earlier single disc versions of each movie. One store had them for 7.99, while the other wanted 9.99. No thanks!

I'm a shift lead at my store and I'm always nice to customers unless their attitude demands differently.
I reread our communications update and it said they are 34.99 BUT due to distributer discounts would total at 27.99 so that's what we stickered them as. With my employee discount I got mine for 22.80
