actually I relooked at my box and it`s the invisible man I have received, my wolfman is still awaiting to be shipped too! lol :)

For some reason, the Monster Legacy sets have been hard to get from CH lately. I ordered the Dracula Legacy set waaay back on 10/24 and it was listed as "Awaiting Stock" for over a month.

I just finally received it a couple of days ago, and what do you know but the second (two sided) disk was loose in the case and scratched all to hell. Now I wonder how long I'll have to wait for another replacement (on top of waiting for CH Customer Service to send me a return label).

How likely is CH to carry over our FunCash accounts into 2007? I only have $4 in mine, so I'll probably spend it before the end of the year, but I'm wondering what other people are doing.

Very likely. I remember back in 2005 that FC was supposed to expire on May 31. They then extended it to June 30. When the end of June rolled around, they extended it until the end of the year. I wouldn't bother using the $4 if you plan on keeping that account active(that would barely cover the shipping charge).

Historically, they have usually let you carry over up to $10 in FC from year to year.

I sure waited to the last minute to use my Funcash. I put 100% of the blame on work which keeps me from having time to sit down to figure out what I want. I barely have time to skim a few of these threads. It's going to be a struggle for me to come up with $110 worth of FC stuff.

My understanding is I can use my FC up until the last day of this year, correct? But I'd be wise to place my FC order before the end of next week.

I'll probably place my FC order this weekend or after Christmas. I saw a lot of good FC deals listed in this thread, but they are probably all dead by now. I won't have time to get on CH to look until Saturday. I already bought the James Bond and Superman sets from B&N for about $5-$10 less than CH had them (before applying FC). Had I known CH's FC prices before I preordered, I would've gone that route instead. I prefer to buy things I really want instead of stuff just to use up FC.

Police Squad Complete series is not too shabby for FC. I think it is $11.48 and since it is a boxset you can only apply $10 FC on it, but that makes it $4.47 shipped (plus tax if you have to pay that).

kenbenobi 12-21-06 11:26 AM

I got the Sting legacy set... $7.78 in FC (which is strange cuz the normal price is higher)...

still awaiting stock, hope I get it soon so I can cancel this account and start the cycle all over again. lol.

I ordered 3 of the legacy sets with my funcash too. right now the creature from the black lagoon is pending and has been since dec 4th. I also have mummy and invisible man in my funcash order. the thing is I had bill me as my form of payment and I do not have any amount due in my account. I cannot pay for anything until creature from black lagoon ships. I sent an email about it but got the "we're sorry we cannot ship so and so titles until prepayment is made". In the email I sent I told them I wanted to pay for my items but that is the response I got :(

Ok, here is what I just did. I wanted to buy The Last Kiss and The Princess Bride (2-disc) with my fun cash, but I only had 35 in FC, which meant I had to pay about $8 more out of pocket to get the deal. It's still a great deal, don't get me wrong. It came to around $15 for both of the DVDs. I just about did it, but then I saw the other deal in the code thread.

I have 50% off all DVDs and buy 4 get 1 free on my account, so I added the free shipping code on top of that and bought the following:


Europa Europa
Widescreen 3402302

Dead End
Full Screen 3601507

No Man's Land
Full Screen & Widescreen 2723401

The Killing
Full Screen 3214400

Great Balls of Fire!
Full Screen & Widescreen 3442704

Total Items Ordered: 5
Order Total: $16.72
All of that gave me 8 more in FC, so I had enough to get the two DVDs I wanted and only ended up having to pay $6 for both of em!

In total, I got seven DVDs for around $23, for an average in this little deal of about $3.xx for each DVD, including two fairly recent releases. :)

Just a quick note of thanks for the suggestion of Chef! I ordered all three series today for $12.88 + $30 in FunCash.

It looks like my FC has be re-set to $0 on 2 of my accounts. Luckily, they were very minimal amounts. I made 2 FC orders on Saturday using $17 and $11 in FC. The ones I lost were $2 and $4.

movielib 01-03-07 12:55 AM

I had my funcash down to zero and then late Sunday night they plopped $8 in and by the time I saw it early Monday morning I was locked out and it was too late to use it (I had used $14 that showed up Saturday). Oh well, it wasn't much and since they usually charge their full price instead of sale prices on funcash items and since you can't get free shipping on them it was probably next to nothing in actuality.

Crikey! For once I didn't procrastinate, and cashed out on the $63 I had in my old TV Club acccount. As soon as that shipment arrives, it will be time to cycle another account.

The Black Adder DVDs are priced $11.97 as well even in the FC cart.
