Thanks so much!

Did Nemo come w/one? Because the copy I won off eBay did not have a slipcover?

My Mary Poppins one came damaged, the velcro on it was uneven and never shuts.

I know the hotline ships home slipcovers, but does it ship home DVD boxes that will hold more than one DVD together ? (ie: Lion King Trilogy box) I was dumb enough to not buy it in the set.

Why would they put a limit on slip covers? I've worked at a printing press before, it just doesn't seem to me that they would be hard to make. I mean they do come free with your DVD, while some DVD's don't even have em at all. I think of my slip covers as baseball cards, to me they're very valuable. I guess that just the kind of service you can expect from Disney.

Because some people just throw away the slipcovers. :headshake:
I think it's smart that Disney does this for the DVD fans! 8)
And it maybe a marketing plan: Slipcovers are only available in the first weeks the DVD comes out and then its just the DVD. So I think they remove the slipcovers so people will buy the DVD right away. :p

:shock: I don't throw away my slipcovers. I thought I made that perfectly clear in previous post. I did say that I threw my slip covers away but I said that I was kidd'n right after. Besides did you see what else I had to say, I said that slip covers are like baseball cards... they're very valueable to me. :lol:

I am far too selective sometimes, I went to purchase The Incredibles today and will have to wait because I was not happy with the condition of the avalible slipcovers.

The sale is for a few more days, and after trying twice with The Lion King, I will call to order the slipcover.

Please P.M. me when the Bambi slipcover arrives.
Otherwise, I'll go *#&$! at the post office. :twisted:

We're like that! We take forever in Best Buy looking for the best slipcover! :lol: Disney always sends good slipcovers! :) Otherwise you can complain and they'll send you another one! That's how good they are.

Oh my gosh, I should show this to my mom! Evertime I go buy a DVD w/slipcover I inspect every single one, drives her batty!

Now if I could find someone to replace my Sound of Music one...

Sounds like me, I can't stand buying a DVD if the slipcover or even the case has some sort of defect.

Did Monsters Inc come with a slipcover? I just bought a copy and that one didn't

If so I need to call that number and have them send me out one.

They had eight copies left and I could not find one to my liking, there was a best on until I saw a bent mark on it.

While at a couple other stores I looked to see if they had a sale or the edition I wanted, one stores sale for twenty dollars (regular price at many other stores) another has a price sticker on the cover that I know will not come off. The last store had no widescreen editions with slipcovers.

A store before that even had tape around their Lion King two slipcovers, some people will not purchase it for that reason. Do not want to order many movies with slipcovers online as there is a change it will not be to the standards that I want.

I've asked for 3 slipcovers: Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Sleeping Beauty.

Most of the customer reps are really quite nice... others a bit snarky--guess it depends on your luck and their mood. :lol:
Wherever. Whatever. Have a nice day.

How long ago did you order the Beauty and the Beast slipcover?

I was thinking of finding a copy online and just replace the cover.
Sense I ordered three a couple weeks I was thinking I may have to pick which ones to get, otherwise I would need Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, Lion King II and Aladdan slipcovers.

Did Brother Bear have a slipcover, because I got it when it was released, the very day and I didn't get a slipcover?
