This is my coolest box set:

Well, more like coolest looking since there isn't anything particulary special abouut it. The DVDS are hold in a fold out case; again, like LOTR.


Also of course, I love my Aladdin Gift Set. Not just because of the extras, since honestly, you can't do much with them. But, the box makes it look really special and truly "collector's".

Yeah, but what's NOT SO GREAT is that my lousy Wal-Mart, which underwent a big renovation to become a Wal-Mart Supercenter, DOES NOT STOCK THE DELUXE EDITION! Or the Wizard of Oz 3-Disc edition. I was so pissed, because I've been waiting and waiting, and come October 18, it's NOT THERE.

That does suck.

I haven't bought the Cinderella giftset yet (stilld eciding if I want it) but of the three Wal-Marts in the city only one seems to have it and I went to Best Buy and they had no copies (although I was there three days after the release so it may have been sold out).

I'm constantly disappointed in big chains like Futureshop, Zellers (they appear to be so apathetic), Wal-Mart and even Best Buy. When Best Buy opened in my city three years ago they had amazing selection and they do still have some good treasures but it's not what it used to be especialy with CDs... (they used to have atleast one or two copies of each album from The Doors and Fleetwood Mac!).

My favourite place is Cinema 1 and I wish you had one there or I would hope you would have a store like it. Theya re on the expensive side at times but you can order any DVD without hassle that they don't carry and they usually carry more movies on the obscure side. They know their movies. :)

Well, I'm also pissed at my Walmart. Because on Tuesdays, I go there usually between 9:00 and 10:00 (have to go at that time because I have to go to college right after) and they're just opening the boxes.

Why I'm pissed about that? Not just because I can't find the movies easily and on time, but because they open at 7:00am, how come then they can't have the new releases already for sale? Or stock them when they close the night before?

It is really annoying when you're there looking for the movies and you're "in their way". :roll: :x

PS

Or better yet, they used to have an employee stand right in front of the regular DVDS stand ($15 and less) . That stopped, but now usually there's a stupid person that either parks a shopping cart right there or without, waiting for someone to pay in the Electronics Department line; where the DVD stand is located. :roll: :evil:
