Sales/Deals/Coupons Thread

[Adam Tyner]

Craig Crumpton came up with an idea to start a dedicated sales, deals, and coupons thread here at toonzone. He's been maintaining a similar one on his "Animated DVD Collectors" Facebook group, and hopefully he won't mind if I swipe a few of his more recent posts to get things started here:

TOYS R US
Offering an in-store special of $10 off (no coupon needed through April 3rd) if you buy Miyazaki's Ponyo (on DVD or BR) with any one of the new editions of "Castle in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro" or "Kiki's Delivery Service" (Blu-Ray is not available for any of the latter 3 titles).

MOVIESTOP (moviestop.com):
Easter sale through April 11th: 50% off select TV box sets and select Disney/Kids movies; select Blu-Ray titles 20-40% off.
Also offering below MSRP prices for new releases: Astro Boy; Planet 51; Fantastic Mr. Fox; Toy Story 1 and 2 Special Editions; Princess and the Frog; Studio Ghibli's Ponyo, Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Additionally, Disney has coupons for $10 off "The Princess and The Frog" and $5 off both the new special editions of Toy Story 1 and 2. These can be used at any participating retailer:

Don't mind at all. Thanks for taking my suggestion and for the completely unsolicited plug for the FB group as well.

BTW, +200 toonzone bux have been added to your account.

Well, like I mentioned in my recent DVD purchase, Toys R Us is also having a two day sale/deal on DVDs. Buy 1, Get 1 Free. I think it applies to every DVD in store since the person in front of me had Monsters vs Aliens and a Disney Movie as well. I say that either today or tomorrow is the perfect time to go and buy anything to fill that void in your collection.

Well, how about that. I was a little concerned about this becoming a spam thread. However, if the rest of the top brass like it, then it's AOK with me too.

Re: Disney's online coupons for Princess/Frog and TS1 and 2.

Just wanted to make sure others were aware that these are good only through Sunday, March 28th. And it allows you to print only two coupons per offer.

Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. I went Friday night and bought like a dozen titles. Normally, I never buy DVDs at TRU because they regularly jack the prices above retail, but the BOGO sale helped me get a lot of titles brand-new that I'd been putting off buying to find them cheaper pre-owned.

[Craig Crumpton]

BEST BUY
Same deal TRU is offering: $10 off Toy Story 1 and 2 if you buy them both together. Combine them with the $5 off coupons and it's 50% off each. I did not note how long the sale lasts.

TOYS R US
In addition to the offers mentioned above, TRU is offering a free "Princess and the Frog" jewelry box w/ purchase of either the DVD or Blu-Ray (while supplies last).

Also added some discount bin animated titles via Big Lots to the Facebook group discussion thread:

And thanks again, Adam, for giving the group a plug. We doubled our membership in a single day.

They are really stingy about advertising deals on new releases. It's typical that they will match competitors' nationally advertised prices, and local stores may even offer deals below advertised prices.

K-MART

Listed as qualifying for "Double Rewards" but there's no explanation of what this means or what their prices will be.

[Craig Crumpton]
