Well, the $7 and $10 movie ticket money is probably the only thing that's remotely piqued my interest lately in terms of rewards. I feel like I'm just sitting on 4000 points here because Disney hasn't added anything I'd really want (i.e. Blu-rays that are not "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and such).

Oh pooh, they no longer offer the WDCC Mulan figure (I think it was called Triumphant). I've been saving up for a couple of years to get that and was finally getting close. This sucks, since they don't have any other rewards that interest me.

Funnily enough, it just got added back to the site (maybe today). It actually sold out months ago, and I thought that was it as I've never seen them restock a WDCC statue before.

I had been saving up towards it myself, debating between it and the Jessie & Bullseye (which was the same price originally, then got cheaper). When Mulan sold out before I had enough points for either, that made my decision for me (I just managed to get the Toy Story before it sold out, too).

I agree, I have over 3,000 points and there isn't anything I am remotely interested in. I'd have no problem redeeming my points for Blu-rays that are worthwhile, but they don't seem to want to offer anything like that.

I just got a birthday email in June. However, I never could get the link to work for the 100 points so I never did get them. But they are still sending the emails at least. :)

Anyone having trouble logging into the DMR website today? I got my birthday bonus points link, but when I click on it and tried logging into the site, It took me to the registration page instead. What the...?

I finally logged in, but it's weird - I had to login thru a different address, and I remember switching it to my hotmail address. Weird. Oh well, I did get my 100 points.

I redeemed some of my points for the Fantastic Four animated series DVD set. I haven't watched it before, but I heard the second season is pretty good. I would have liked to have gotten the Reluctant Dragon, but I don't really need another copy of Donald in Mathmagic Land which I got with the DuckTales movie. I don't quite get the logic in having it in two different bundles.

The second season of the 1994 FF cartoon was leaps and bounds ahead of the first, both in animation and story quality (even the title sequence was way better).

If you do decide to watch the set in order, don't let the crappy first half (Johnny Storm / Brian Austin Green rapping an awful love song being one of several low points I remember) discourage you from watching the second! :D

WOW!!! That's got to be a record. Ordered the WDCC Woody yesterday & it shipped today! Now I'll have the Woody, Buzz & Jesse & Bullseye w/record player base.

Thanks for alerting me, I'm glad it's back but I haven't bought anything Disney in over a year (I've only been collecting the 5 points from the emails). I'm worried I won't get enough points in time before it's gone again.

I realized I still haven't entered a bunch of codes for points. Does anyone think there may be a double points day this year?

Also, I haven't tried this yet, but, do they accept tickets from 2nd-run theaters? Just thought I'd ask since Cars 2 is playing and it could be a cheap way to gain some points. I've already got two tiicket stubs I haven't submitted yet (from a 1st-run theater), and I was thinking about catching a matinee of Cars 2. Has anyone tried this yet?

I really don't know, but I would think that as long as Cars 2 is still on the list for stub submissions any ticket would work.

For those that have had items shipped recently, how many days did you have to wait for your item to arrive once you got the shipping notice? My Fantastic Four DVD set shipped a week from last Monday (August 22nd) and I still haven't received it. If it ships from Wisconsin, I'm like a state away.

Well shoot, just as I was about to get the Oswald DVD, it's out of stock.

Anyone know if it'll be restocked?
