Ultimate Superman and Funcash

Didn't know which thread to add this to, the Ultimate Superman Thread or the Funcash bucks.

Anyway, Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition shows up as $44.98 when you use your funcash. Used my funcash to basically offset the shipping charges/taxes to basically get the set for just about this price.

Looks also like its best time to use funcash with boxsets, as a lot of these are showing up for a good price. Too bad I don't have any funcash left to spare.

Enjoy!

So what are you going to do with that extra copy of Superman Returns?

One of the best anime series of all time can be had for $31.97. The Fruits Basket box set is $44.98 in the FC cart. You can take another $20 off of that price with your FC, making it $24.98. Shipping is $6.99, so the final cost is $31.97. This is a great series that even non-anime fans should enjoy. Thanks for the heads-up, DVDGamer!

You're Earning FunCash
what's FunCash? $84.00

... so i'd have to spend $60 on a crap load of DVDs, only about 4 of which i want to get one good deal on DVDs... i think i'm just gonna order 4 or 5 DVDs and call it a day, then just get Superman and Ran with the funcash, but great deals are out there if u already have the funcash (makes me wish i hadn't already ordered platoon, rain man, the killing, fargo, no man's land without triple fun cash)

I've already ordered most of the under $5 DVDs that interest me without the triple funcash offer. So I probably have to pass this offer. Well, maybe next time.

How do you get this deal to work? I'm going through my fun cash but it still shows up at a special price of 59.96 before any fun cash is applied.

EDIT: I got it to work. Thanks OP! Now here's hoping they ship it before Christmas. CH has been really slow the last month shipping stuff out.

Not even the placeholder is there now, what the hell happened? It was in my cart too, and now it's gone.

I preordered this through Columbia House, and my order is listed as "awaiting stock." Maybe they took it off the site until they get more back in stock.

Wasn't Ultimate Superman recalled due to a production error? Thought I read something to that effect but I haven't been paying much attention. If so, Columbia House would pull the listing until they could get a new date for stock.

Yeah, Warner's first batch of sets had the old version of Sups 2 and one of the discs of Sups 1 was messed up or something to that effect, so they are issuing replacements for anyone who has a messed up set. I wasn't aware they were going to recall all the sets, but perhaps they have. I'll have to read more on the other thread. I wouldn't have cared if I got the messed up set, I have no problem getting the replacements from Warner. Oh well, hopefully it will be back soon.

According to Amazon.com:

• Customer notice: Warner Home Video has discovered that bonus content was inadvertently omitted from the Superman III Deluxe Edition contained within some of the 14-disc Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition gift boxes. Also, disc 1 of Superman: The Movie in the Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition was produced with Dolby Surround 5.1 but inadvertently did not include the original 1978 Dolby 2.0 stereo surround sound mix. Please note that these discs are still playable and not defective. If you need to replace your discs, please call 1-800-553-6937 and replacement discs will be made available at no cost to you.

My order still shows as pending in my order history, but I've already been charged for it. I'm fine if they are holding sending the orders out until they get the corrected sets from Warners.

Yes, apparently retailers are doing a recall and waiting for new sets. CH is probably doing the same as you know how well they handle returns and such as this, so you know they don't want to deal with it!

I saw this posted in the main dvdtalk thread about this:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=177

There's plenty of more info in that thread. It should be back at CH in a few weeks, hopefully before the end of the year, and hopefully funcash still works on it then because I'll have to use it all up anyway.

I'm no longer seeing my Superman Ultimate as a pre-order on my order history and they have not charged me. I have not yet received an e-mail but I assume it means they are cancelling my order.

I just confirmed with a web support CSR that unless your Superman Ultimate has been shipped (which they can check), it will not be.

She didn't know about the recall, but said this happens when contract issues, etc. come into play, this is how they resolve them.

Did she say your order will be cancelled or just delayed?

$41.97 shipped, using $20 of FC. Keep in mind that Costco will have this set for around $50 in another two weeks(a $25 off instant rebate sale).
