Thread title pretty much says it all - I was at the Newbury Comics in Attleboro, MA, browsing today (actually bought some Bond DVDs), and saw that they had a new, sealed copy of the OOP Jarhead 2-disc set for $34.99, and two Oldboy tins, both new, for $29.99 a piece. I already have the Jarhead and I'm not interested in Oldboy, but for someone looking for these, it's probably a better deal than getting them on eBay or through an Amazon private seller. Enjoy!

Thanks. Been looking for that. I've learned my lesson when it comes to buying 2-disc special editions. That's why I'll be buying Blood Diamond: 2 disc version this Tuesday...instead of waiting for some sale or deal that will never happen.

Now if I could just find MST3K: The Movie somewhere...

Many thanks, Jesus! I was buying some shoes at Bob's today and swung by the store to check and grabbed myself an Oldboy tin. I checked the Borders up there a week ago and they had nothing, don't know why I didn't hit Newbury as well, as it definitely should have been my first choice. There were two copies, like you said, before I bought one.

Very handsome set, thanks again!

That's funny, I actually work near the Newbury over in Natick and I often takes weekend trips to either Shrewsbury or Marlboro looking for sets. The place is often my first choice over any other B&M store.

One of the reasons I prefer NC is that sets like these generally last awhile, among the other goodies that can be found. The Munich 2 Disc LE was still stocked at Natick until about a month ago (which is long after OOP). Natick still has a Jarhead 2 Disk but I don't know the price. That $36 sound about right though. They also still have an Oldboy tin as well. Unfortunately it is dented on the front side and has a minor scuff (though I can't tell if it's just the wrap or the tin itself.) Either way, the dent could be fixed up..

Except for the NC store at Providence Place. I've never had any good finds there. The suburban ones have been pretty good to me. I seem to find a lot of used Criterions at the Warwick location, for some reason. The free pint glasses are pretty cool, too.

Heh .. yeah, I started that towards the end of last year and ended up missing a bunch. I've decided to flip that around and get them all this year. So far so good!!! Toothface rules!!!

Sorry to hear about the circumstances of the Prov location. Urban areas = more competition. Not fair. I think once the soccer moms bring their kids into Newbs out in the suburbs, they see the McFarlane figures with their guts hanging out and what not .. and run the other direction .. to Wally world or wherever. Better for me!!

Is the Oldboy tin oop or something?

Yes it is.

I've never been to a Newbury Comics. I happen to be in downtown Boston right now on business, near the hockey arena. Anyone know if there is a location down here somewhere?

I checked there a couple days ago and Oldboy is OOS, no clue about Jarhead. I did leave a copy of Oldboy at the Borders just down the street.

Awesome, thanks, I heard that is close to where I am...

Thanks for the info. I already have the Oldboy tin, but I'll look for Jarhead. I mainly just want to see what all the hype is about. I keep hearing Newbury Comics is an awesome store...
