I placed an order 2 September. Got a ship notice yesterday. Just about 3 weeks in processing is not what I was expecting. After two weeks, I sent an email asking to cancel, which they refused to do.
Doubt I'll purchase from them again, regardless of the price.

The VS black Friday pre-order is not much of a sale . Wanted Gorgo with slip , Still at $40+ with shipping . Will this title with slip ever go a little lower ?

Why would it be on sale now? Gorgo is a recent title, and this isn't a site-wide sale even for older titles right now. It's just a Flash Pre-order.

If you've ever paid any attention to the VS hype train, where every VS announcement is the 'most anticipated/ most requested' turds no one has asked for.....

VS has to lean into their own carnie BS. Just send every order over $100 with a free roll of toilet paper.

Never done a pre-order with VS, and I can't find any shipping info on their site regarding when they bill you for a pre-order. Anybody know?

Payment is taken upfront.

Your purchase during this Pre-order event will have a $10 shipping charge. Whenever the Black Friday goes live, you can buy extra sale titles and select "Add to Existing Order" and won't need to pay additional shipping over that weekend.

Rats! I'm out of money till next week, so I'll have to wait it out till a sale includes it. (What is it, a year or 6 months before a new release qualifies for sale pricing?)

Thanks for that info, Teej!

IDOJ is so iconic, that I would think a compete and well done remastered set would sell well.

DARYL is not a bad acquisition, although quite a bit pricey for the kind of film it is.

BTW, what corner has Disney turned? Other than deeper in denial with that atrocious recently-announced box set (Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection). Disney still seems like a lost cause, and I'd rather give my money to meth-heads than to those evil, corporate cannibals. (I mean that in the nicest way possible...)

I may have over stated on the Disney but there doing 4k UHD of a couple of there classic cartoons and some other labels that Disney owns have been doing blu-rays & 4K , I can't think which ones off hand & you have Star Wars Mandalorian which was unexpected in 4K .

Sony puts out Cobra Kai on dvd when its in 4K , That one is mind boggling . I love that show . Best tv show in a very very long time . Anyway sorry this is all way off topic . good night /good morning lol.

Price matching Walmart.com
Easier to find on Amazon, but once you know which ones you want, you could just as easily order from Wally. Or you could choose to price match at another major retailer, such as BB. I think I'll do the later, as I have a $25 credit expiring in 7 days.

This means I could by Jackie Chan Vol.1 for $29 right now!
What am I still doing here? GTG. THX.

It looks like WM are price matching Amazon in this case. There are several titles that are still higher priced than Amazon, which would seem to indicate they haven't matched those yet.

Some examples:

Summer School - $23.99 (17.99 at AMZ)
Deer Hunter - $24.96 ($17.99)
Red Dawn 4K - $27.99 ($19.99)
Murder By Death - $14.11 ($12.99)
M. Butterfly - $14.48 ($13.99)
Nothign But Trouble - $14.43 ($12.99)

The problem is always that Shout's MSRP are so over the top that even most "sales" with their product still can't make the prices all that palatable.
