Who has the best prices in-store? Tell us!

[BibChr]

If you mean "also," already set in stone.

If you mean "instead" -- not an option.

Gandalf's head actually bobbles, yes.

It is FAR more creepy than Oompa Loompas.... ;~D

I'm holding for the boxed "director's cut" edition myself. I know it will be a wait, but worth it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Picked up my copy at Walmart last night for $14.87. And yes, I received the promotional glow-in-the-dark "One Ring". My understanding though is that the "ring" was being given only to people who were buying the DVD between midnight and 6 am. I was there at 12:01 am, and there were already 30 people ahead of me.

A word of warning though... Walmart has a habit of raising the price on "hot" DVDs back to $18 and change after they've been out a few weeks.

[BibChr]

"Out a few weeks"! Bear, who do you think you're TALKING to? First stop after work!

Heh, well, that comment wasn't so much directed at you, but at any lurkers who might be reading and were undecided about when to buy.

[My back yard]

I was there at 12:01 am.

Oooooh, I wish I had thought of that.

[Portnoy]

SAme here...however this weekend I have 5 hours blocked off so I can rent it from Blockbuster...

Only 112 days, 8 hours 24 min till ROTK!

[GATOR NAVY]

Bought the VHS today. DVD will wait until the Japanese extended version comes out in December.

[Milwaukee_Guy]

My wife reserved a copy at Blockbuster a few weeks ago. She said she got a 10 free rental deal which is worth $20-$30 depending on the movies you want to rent. She paid retail at $29.95 but with the free rentals it works out to be a pretty good deal.

[BibChr]

Went to Wal-Mart, bought two for $14.97 each. Best deal I've seen or heard of, in-store.

No rings or bobbles though, and very bad service.

I brought a magazine. I suggest you do the same, if you haven't bought yours.

You paid good money for the theatrical version??!!

Wastrel.

Rent theatrical, buy director's.

[BibChr]

...and watch WHAT for the next three months???

Hacker.

Dan

PS -- points, though, for (A) knowing and (B) using the word "Wastrel," which actually is the title of an unpublished novel of mine.

[LinnieBeth]

Yes, I got mine too $14.76, the VHS was $14.56- but the DVD price was for a few days, and then it will go to $19.+

The $14.76 was a special introductory price, for less than a week.

[weegee]

I say that the best buy is to wait until November to buy the film.

This DVD release is the theatrical version. The longer edit of the film (and extra bonus stuff) will come out on a November release.

[BibChr]

Nope.

(A) What do we watch until November? We wants it!

(B) Bonus material is different on each version.

Dan

[kaylar]

I'm waiting till November to buy, too. I'll rent this version.

Ring Ping!!

There and Back Again: The Journeys of Flat Frodo

Anyone wishing to be added to or removed from the Ring-Ping list, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[SuziQ]

SSQ got ours at Wally World. He said it was $14.47.

[2Jedismom]

Same with us...got ours at Walmart. But it had a glitch right when Gandalf rides up at the end and says "All our hopes now rest with two little hobbits." So I exchanged it.
