And ... ordered.

Cheaper than everywhere else too. Wonder if the US is importing them from Canada, only $17.99 CAN each vs 24.99 US each.

$16.96 at Walmart, I imagine they will drop everywhere by the time they release.

Still cheaper at Bestbuy.ca taking into account the current exchange rate. They basically would only cost you $13.67 US or $17.99 CAN.

Anyone else reminded by the Harry Potter Futureshop Steelbook set.

Thanks for the tip. Will cancel BBY and order from Walmart. A lot cheaper.

But how much is the shipping? Will it have French anywhere? I expect Amazon will match walmart soon too, that will subtract 10% off my cost because no taxes. I'd rather stay in the US anyway to make returns easier.

True ,,, but since I am in Canada and Walmart is unlikely to carry it here, this will probably be the best deal up here. Since shipping is free. But there will be 13% tax added on. So it will actually be $20.33 CAN or $14.45 US each.

Already have the trilogy steelbooks and this seems to be a worlwide release, which seems like a money grab with the new fillm coming. Not sure if I need another version.

I mean how many time have I bought these films, from VHS regular to wide screen to dvd to Lucas's special editions to 9 discs blu-ray release to trilogy steelbooks, etc.

I was about to bring that up as well. I mean if it has French on it pass...
And again not worth having to deal with customs and returning shipping if these came damaged. I mean for those in Canada sure great. But for us in the US is it really worth the risk? Probably not...

Also these aren't BB CDN exclusives are they?

Jakdonark · 08-08-2015, 03:09 AM

I doubt they would have French on the actual steelbook, it's usually just on the jcard. Alliance/eOne is pretty much the only company that has bilingual steels.

I was really on the fence with these but for that price I can sell the discs on their own and make back a bit, then put the steels up for display.

mdc3000 · 08-10-2015, 02:07 AM

ah hell, I was only gonna get 4-6 but caved and preordered all 6 of them from Best Buy - love the back art and wish it had been the front but at least it's on them somewhere!

^This. They definitely won't have French on them besides the card.

Remember, 4K players are coming out later this year, and 8K will follow after than.

Then, if they get the tech right, holographic movies. So that's a minimum of 3 times more that the movies will get a 'new' release :P

I guess I'll actually cancel out that BB order and go amazon, since my sister accidentally signed up for a year of Prime. I've had Best Buy Canada preorders that didn't ship until 2 weeks after release before...so for $0.20 more per movie, I'd rather deal with Amazon

use cashback and save over ordering from bestbuy where there is no cash back

ebates or GCR

rocketsan · 08-11-2015, 03:24 PM

Here's hoping we still have Best Buy in November...

Their stores are ghost town and they are running skeleton staff crews...
