I picked up the Tangled 3D combo pack at Target today.

I went at 10:30 am and there was just 1 copy of it left, I snatched it up quick. There were a ton of the 2 disc Blu-ray/DVD combos though.

I don't have a 3D set up, and I'm definitely not convinced 3D will take off, but it has the better cover art and I actually use the digital copies, I like to have them on my laptop when I travel.

All 3D aside, $19.99 for the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy in gorgeous packaging is a great deal IMO.

Picked up the 3D combo at Best Buy for $19.99 after coupon. No plushes left at my store (or any stores in my area). This is becoming a common thing with Best Buy exclusives in my area. They are always understocked, or don't get a lot of them in. Not sure if this is common nationwide, or just my area. Pretty annoying...

Anyway I don't have a 3DTV, or have plans to upgrade, but for the same price I had to get the 3D version. The slip cover on the 3D version really looks fantastic in person.

I JUST got a new HD TV but I'm pretty confident within the next year / 2 years I'll def upgrade to a 3D TV.

Got mine at Target (the 2 disc) & they didn't blink twice about using the $5 coupon. $14.99 is pretty sweet. :D

Don't even get me started on the Best Buy exclusives. There were NO Bambi lunch boxes or even a sign about them in the first half-hour of opening.

I ended up buying a brand new 3D copy on eBay. A poster at Blu-ray.com posted a link to an auction where someone had 8 copies for sale @ $16.99 each with free shipping. Even better, I just this morning got a free $15 eBay gift card on Groupon.com using Groupon Bucks. So, in the end, I only spent $1.99 out of pocket! After hesitating for a few minutes, I ended up decided to go for it and I got the last one!

This is, by far, the best deal I've ever gotten on a Disney Blu-ray and I doubt it'll ever happen again. The only downside is that I can't watch the film tonight. :( Hopefully it comes by the end of the week!

If anyone is interested in the Groupon deal, you can get a $15 eBay gift card for $7: http://www.groupon.com/deals/ebay

Had the same experience with the lunch box. Best Buy used to be great with exclusives, now it seems like they get 2 or 3 in... IF that.

Anyway one lady at Best Buy told me if they got more in to bring my receipt back and I could pick one up within 30 days. I was told the same thing about the lunch box and they never got them in, so I think I'm just going to order one online (I wanted it anyway, but it should have been free with purchase).

My Mom had the same experience at Target this afternoon picking up a copy of the 2 disc with the Little Golden Book. Target is great about coupons in my opinion.

I got my copy from BEST BUY. I got the 3D version with the hologram cover. Does anyone know if I take off the stickers off the hologram, will it mess it up?

I ended up doing the same thing, thought I'd take a stab at using the coupon on the 2 disc combo pack, and it also worked for me. $14.99 is definitely a good deal (there's also something really nice about getting it at a better price than the standalone standard DVD). I could've used the $5 Target coupon and the $5 DMR coupon on the 4-Disc combo pack and it would've ended up being about the same price (just a little change more for tax), but I figured there's no sense on using the Target coupon now for extra stuff I don't need. Disney has enough coming down the pipeline in the next few weeks, I'm sure it'll be put to better use on one of those releases.

I took the Best Buy price sticker off mine, but left the other. It came off very easy (probably the easiest Best Buy sticker I've removed), and didn't leave anything on the cover.

Yeah I took that off with ease, but I don't know about the other two. I feel like if I take those off, it will leave a really bad residue..

I ordered the 2-disc on Amazon a few weeks ago with Fantasia for $10 off and it was supposed to come today, but it didn't. Stupid USPS.

I did the same deal except went for the free super saver shipping, hence my having to wait.

My copy of Black Swan (also out today) is scheduled to arrive between the fourth and the eighth, as well. You'd think Amazon would at least ship it on the release date (or even before). I'll try to be patient, but Black Swan was my favorite 2010 film, so I would like it before the 4th.

Both Target and Best Buy are offering the 3D combo pack at $24.99 before coupon. So you can get it for $19.99 at both stores with coupon.

Target is offering a free mini Golden Book with purchase, and Best Buy is offering a free plush Pascal.

Both stores have the 2D combo packs for $19.99, and although the coupon says it's for the 3D combo, some people have been able to use it for the 2D version.
Thank you :)

That's a shame that you guys have you wait even though you pre-ordered. I just placed my first pre-order yesterday for The Incredibles and Cars, hopefully Amazon ends up having the best price for these releases, but I may have to cancel as we near the release date if I see better pricing elsewhere.

I had always thought that Amazon shipped a few days ahead of a release date so that customers would get the title on the same day it was available in stores, but I guess that is not always the case!

I bought Tangled off eBay this afternoon and the seller has already shipped it, so hopefully I'll have it by this weekend. :)

I have Amazon Prime, so it's really weird that it didn't come today; it shipped on Sunday.
