shawagg- in the past I've bought tins from the Disney Store at my local mall without the white security stickers. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

By the way, I called after placing my order online and asked them to upgrade the shipping to Priority Mail. They mailed it out within 2 days and said it will arrive in under a week. I think the Priority Mail added $5 to the shipping of my order of 4 Wave 1 tins.

I just ordered another wave 1 to ebay!

So taking your sound advice, I've signed up with the club and ordered the first two Treasures sets. I had to place seperate orders for each set (presumably so they could charge me postage twice, but whatever). I did all this within the last 90 minutes, but so far have received no confirmation emails of my initial membership or my orders.

How long did it take for the initial discs to ship? The Treasures orders?

Thanks to all who posted their experiences here with this plan.

are you all just signing up to the club, or using some sort of code to get a better deal? I'm just so weary of that buy 5 more in the next 12 months standard offer.

as explained multiple times throughout this thread, the Treasures will cover your requirements for the club, so that, by joining, you're getting three free DVDs and a ridiculously low price on the seven Treasures discs. (Note: If you only buy one set, yes, you'll have to buy one or two more discs; point is, each Treasure counts as a seperate disc, even though it's one package you're ordering.)

They’re hardly “ridiculously low” at $30 a pop without shipping. But low compared to ebay (where I hope to actually have a bit of cash flowing in for a change)

And don't worry, the confirmation email will come through.

Same here. no blue band. maybe it didn't come with one?

Goofy does come with one. But I bought mine in a store.

I'd say it's a judgement call; to me, when 'Mickey Mouse in Living Color' routinely sells for $100 or more (not to mention 'Silly Symphonies', $60-$80, maybe more; and I personally got $50 for 'Davy Crockett'), buying all for for $130 + shipping is ridiculously low. And a lot of people in this thread seem to think the price is too low to be believed.

"low compared to ebay" = exactly. There's pretty much nowhere else to get Wave One with tins (let alone sealed).

By the way what is the limit per wave for each person? Is it 3 waves per person?

The only limit I saw posted on the site was "one per order". Dunno how many orders you're allowed; I imagine they're trying to unload them, so they probably don't mind.

I think it says 3 copies of each wave per household.

heh ... guess they've been reading this thread, cutting people off...

As an alternative, you can get the Dutch versions for 15 EUROs!

Vanaf heden niet meer verkrijgbaar in de "Tin Can"-verpakking???

I assume you're asking if they come packed in a tin?

I know they did at first, but I don't know if they still do. Probably not anymore. I guess you can email them and ask.

Also note that the R2 released of SS has the Jewish mask. The R1 doesn’t. Clock Cleaners is the same on both R1 and R2 (I have a DVD with both these uncensored).

A fond "aloha" to the Wave 1 Treasures as they have now sailed off into the brilliant eBay sunset...

are you selling them as a complete set in one auction?

The Disney Movie Club quietly dropped the Wave 1 Treasures off their website:(

AWWWWW :(

Oh well at least I have another set on the way.

And maybe I can still make some money off of wave 2.

I actually ordered a set a day before they went off the site, and have received the shipping confirmation. I just wonder if I ordered the last one? I'm very glad that I did not hold off on purchasing it any longer!

Ok, now here's my plea:

I know a few of you ordered extra sets for ebay. Now remember why you ordered the set in the first place. Because those bloodsuckers on ebay won't give up these DVDs to those who need them without a fistfull of cash. Now I NEED this set (as a whole or without the Disneyland USA, it soesn't matter). What I'm looking for is someone who will be kind enough to sell them to me at cost plus shipping, no profit. I know it is a terrible thing to ask, but your fellow board-member needs help... So how about it? Anyone?

Whew!! Just received my confirmations that Waves 1 & 2 shipped to me yesterday from Disney Movie Club. Sounds like I got in in the nick of time. Thanks to everyone here who wrote about this offer and told of your experiences with it.

Genorisity certainly isn't a given. Supply, demand, and the greed holding them two together.
I've tried, multiple times, alas, no luck permitted.
Still want wave 1 and 2.

Well, you could always opt for the Dutch versions. 36 euroes shipped to the US for both MMILC and SS. That's actually cheaper than the combined cost of the Disney Movie Club price.
