Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I can't get the WATCH3 and 783A42XP coupons to stack. Am I doing anything wrong? I'm trying to get the 3 Watchmen blu's.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

hmmm... i keep getting this error when i try to place my order: "An unexpected problem occurred and your order could not be submitted. Please try again in a few seconds or call customer service at 1-866-373-4389 for help. Thank you for your patience."

unexpected problem = i got both coupons to stack? that would suck. will try again later and see. if not, ah well.

The codes worked for me.... until I tried to check out. It prompted me to call customer service. So we'll see. I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Anybody have any experience with canceling orders from WBShop?

I ordered this very early Saturday before I knew about the second coupon. I just sent them a message through the contact customer service link telling them I want to cancel the order, but does that actually work?

I had to create a second account to apply the coupons since the first account already used WATCH3 it wouldn't let me use it again. I haven't place the new order yet as I'd like to see what happens to first one before I make the decision.

Got in on this deal!

Grabbed Natures Most Amazing Events as my freebie. Already ordered Torchwood Children of Earth in a previous order and the only things I wanted were down to the Nature one or Doctor Who planet of the Dead.

Thanks OP and the person who brought up the b2g1 coupon!

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Just woke up and got my order through as well... YAY! Thanks OP and g...
I would call them and cancel over the phone: 1-866-373-4389. I did just last week with no problems. I canceled my Torchwood Children of Earth pre-order and re-ordered it as the freebie in this deal. However, if part of your order was in-stock and already started shipping, you might be SOL...
But please do NOT mention that you going to be replacing the order with another coupon, or ask if they can add the coupon to your existing order, or anything like that. That type of thing could kill the deal for everyone...

Coupons are once per account, so you will need to create a new wbshop account, but it just requires a different email address. You can use the same name and address.

Dont forget to use cashbaq when placing your new order to get 5% back....

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Hey ken, you know if the 30% off code stacks with the b2g1 code?

If it does I may just have to reorder torchwood....

EDIT: Nope doesnt work/stack. Looks like ill be keeping my previous Torchwood order unless a new coupon crops up making it a better deal.

I will echo Matty and Will's comments. In my non scientific study, the only people that consistently liked the movie were people that had read the comic. While the people that disliked the movie were people that hadnt read the comic, and a small portion of people that had read the comic and really, really loved the comic.
I personally didnt think much of he movie when I saw it in theaters, but will at least rent the dvd when it comes out and give it another look.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I love the comic and didn't much care for the movie. I felt it lacked a good flow and they tried too hard to cram in as much as possible that the character work suffered. In doing so, they didn't realize that without the emphasis on character, the details didn't matter. I'm hoping this director's cut will be better, but who knows.

Tales of the Black Freighter/Under the Hood is alright. Not really worth it as a standalone purchase. The two pieces are better suited as a bonus material, but for $5 & a free movie, why not?

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Thank you! it is a great deal! Order all three Watchmen BR for less than $31 shipped.

Did you guys receive order confirmation to your email right away?

I just placed a hour about a hour ago, but it does not show in my order history, nor did I receive email confirmation...?

edit: never mind. The order finally shown up in my Order History.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Thanks for the feedback on the movie itself guys. I actually just finished the graphic novel last week. I enjoyed it but aren't as 'ate up' about it as most people. With the bonus free movie it's a no brainer deal so I hopped on it. I pre-ordered Contact as my other title.

I guess nobody is there on Sunday to answer the phone. Hopefully the thing I sent through the website takes care of it.

I already created the second account once I noticed the site wouldn't take the coupon again. And I would never try and get customer service to try and add to a previous order.

Can anyone get this to work with Falling Down as a third title in the deal?

How The West Was Won showed up as a freebie. Looks like the freebie has to be priced $27.95 and lower. At least, that's what I'm experiencing-- but this is based on limited experimentation.
