I went online on Wednesday and bought a Batman figurine for $39.99 (free shipping). It arrived yesterday. I know I paid 4 times its cost. But I feel pretty happy. I got it really fast and last time I checked E-bay they were going for $75 to $100 each.

I have a bunch of BEST BUY Joker Statuettes up on eBay. I had ordered a bunch online right after I got laid off at my job in NYC last month b/c I knew I was going to have to count on eBay for my holiday/December income. My eBay member ID is Batkruse and my regular email is [email protected].
Best, --Dorfler PS--I was able to get the FutureShop BLU-RAY of THE DARK KNIGHT on eBay for $37.51. I just had to have the Steelbook version and capped how much I would spend @ $40! lol i'm totally f****** with you:toast: do what you gotta do. sorry to hear you have been laid off. hope you find another job soon! |

I finally opened mine ... I actually really like the "mask" case since it isn't completely hard plastic. I agree with previous posters though, the outside box being cardboard is a bit of a let down. The third disc is a bit awkward though -- since all the discs do have bonus material. With the Incredible Hulk it was easy -- the digital copy went into the sleeve. Any suggestions for TDK? |

I guess I lucked out. I had pre-ordered the steelbook on fye for 25.99 but online it said it doesn't come out til Dec. 15th, so I decided to run up to fye this morning at about 10:30 and they had plenty there, probably 10 or so. I grabbed 2: 1 for me and I figure I can give one as a gift, and the price in store was only 22.99.
Then I saw a a single Iron Man steelbook right beneath it, so I grabbed that too even though I think it was 25.99. I know on amazon private sellers have it going for about 40 bucks, but on fye's site it's still listed as in stock so I'm not sure why. Doesn't matter cause I just want it for myself anyway though. When I got home I cancelled my pre-order for the Dark Knight of course. |

For that much you could buy the 30-inch-tall Batman action figure, which is on sale at Toys R Us. I wasn't even going to spend $9.99 on those little figurines. Just goes to show that stores can name cheap, flimsy things limited-edition exclusives and people will buy them up, quality be damned. |

That's hilarious. You can get the full-size statues these mini ones were based off of for close to $100 (or under for the Batman one)...
I saw those figurines, and they looked cheap. To me, they weren't even worth $9.99. For 40 bucks, you can get good-looking, quality Batman action figures at any number of toy stores. For 75 to 100, you can get high quality busts or statuettes. I sense if those exclusives were made of cardboard, people would still buy them. |

The third disc is the documentary "Batman Unmasked" listed at a 40 minute runtime according to the packaging.

As long as you're happy with your purchase. But that's quite costly for a small, cheap-looking figurine.

Single disk from BJ's. They had it on sale, and some kind soul had actually torn out the 6.00 off coupon and left it on the rack. 10.xx after taxes. I don't need to spend money on any more little toys, and upon viewing the special features of the multidisk, a large part of the upgraded cost seemed to be covering the digital copy, which is a total waste to me. I usually love special features, but these didn't really stand out to me, especially for the major upgrade in cost.

Available from 12/11/08 to 12/24/08. So you could have probably waited a day or so and got some free bottle water :) (If its worth it, you could always return the DVD if its not open and rebuy and use the coupon to get some free bottle water - as long as you do it before the $25.99-$4.00 deal ends on Sunday. Thats if you get the coupon by then.) Looks like those DVD/Blue-ray coupons were either in the Holiday Gift Guide Catalog or some separate mailing that not everyone was privlege to get. Oh well, I'll be heading to BJ's tom to see if they have an extra one of those HGGC's and see if the $6 off coupon is in there - otherwise its free water! (I couldn't make it to BJ's last night as previously said I would) (Two other DVD coupons are included in the December 2008 Coupon Book - Coupon #1 - $20 off when you buy Lost Season Four and any other season of Lost on DVD or Blue-ray. Coupon #2 - Free Berkley & Jensens Cupcakes when you buy Horton Hears a WHO! on DVD or Blue-ray. LOL!) LB... Dirk |

The point is it is Bestbuy exclusive. Collectors will see this as a value to add to their collection.
I think some people bought more than one of each just to sell to suckers online at crazy prices, such as the 75 to 100 buck range I've been hearing about. And, again, primarily because it's a limited exclusive. |

It's actually quite difficult to find decent looking figures for less then $50. As for the Batpods, they looked irredeemably cheap, and also very small. I'm glad I went to Wal-Mart at midnight to get Dark Knight. As far as I've seen, the Wal-Mart Two-Face coin that came with the single-disc version is the best exclusive. It's actually made of metal. Forgot to mention, the FYE steelbook was also pretty good as an exclusive, although it's too bad they didn't use a different cover image. |
Wait, so those cheap Bats figures from BB are WORTH something? The one BB I go to have a crapload of Bats left (no Jokers). I just saw some tonight. I guess I gotta go back tomorrow.

Actually, the full size one is about $150.00. Secondly, I wouldn't have room for it anyway. Besides, the mini has a surprising amount of detail for its size (5"). And eventhough I opened it, I'm pretty sure I could get my $40 back if I ever decided to sell it on E-bay.
Plus, looking through those listings, it seems like the high priced ones are outliers since two of the Batman mini statues recently went for around $20, which makes more sense. |
Picked up the target blu-ray mask with the papa john's coupon, don't have a blu-ray player yet, but I really wanted the mask and I figured might as well start the collection with this movie. Also, picked up the fye steelbook with the coupon also, so $16.99 with the rebate and coupon, not too bad.

damn, i saw like ten of each figure at best buy during the midnight release, but i thought they were barely worth 5 bucks, let alone 10 for those small things. they looked cool, and im a sucker for everything exclusive too. but i figured theyd be mass produced and down to a penny in a month. what i should have done was buy some, then return them if they werent rare. wasnt thinking.

appeared in. Definiately didn't get that one in the mail. Now that I know which one its in, I'll see if my BJ's has any extras laying around at Customer Service when I go by there sometime this weekend. Anyone willing to send me one via mail? Whens does it expire? (Well even if I don't get the $6 off coupon, I'll just get use that free bottle water coupon one.) However getting the $6 off coupon or using the free bottle water one may not matter as when I went last weekend my BJ's had no Dark Knight DVDs at all - one disc, two disc, full, wide. When I asked at Customer Service if they were going to get more in, they mentioned they weren't sure as they rarely have a DVD sellout like that and if they do, it may just be the one disc DVD anyway. I wounded up getting rainchecks for both the one disc (at $14.99 = $18.99 orginial cost - $4.00 instant rebate) and two disc (at $20.99 = 24.99 orginial cost - $4.00 instant rebate) so I'm covered if they should get some in. Of course knowing my luck, they won't come in until after the coupons expire and I won't be able to take advantage of the additional savings. Oh well! LB... |
Hi everyone,
has anyone opened up the Best Buy Batman cowl edition. I took the mini cowl out from the packaging last night and where it was held in place by the plastic tie it has left a nasty mark all round the neck of the model. Has anyone else had the same problem, if they have taken their cowl out of the box??? Thanks in advance |
