Oh no. Now my Lion King DVD will remain naked.

I wasn't being sarcastic.

So note that they do not send them out anymore just replace damaged ones!

I AM VERY MAD AT THIS!

I hope they chock on them!

Find a LATT2 in store with a slipcover, go out to your car and toss the slipcover in there, then walk back into the store and return the dvd.

Try calling again. You may have just gotten an uninformed and/or unwilling cast member.

I tried calling again but the needed my *information* and they said this is there policy and they can't do nothing about it! I even talked to a supervisor! They started a transaction and then stopped! why start something and say you can't give it to me!

Am I right in assuming you are wanting a slipcover for the original release of Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure? If I recall, you posted that you were not going to buy the new edition.

If so, then you shouldn't resort to stealing one. That's just not right.

If I'm wrong, and you purchased the new edition, and it didn't come with a slipcover, then I apologize.

Sounds like they haven't changed the policy and that they've instead wised up to people over-using or abusing the system. How many times have you gotten slipcovers from them in the past?

I don't think it's stealing. The stores throw the slipcovers away after awhile and i've saw that with my own eyes. I saw a store manager from Target take them off and put then in a cart and bring them to the back. I don't think they are sending them back to Disney, they are throwing them in the trash can!

Every slip cover and tin I have bought so far has gone to recycling. Just taking up shelf space unnecessarily.

It's not. It was the only thing I could think of when they stopped after taking your information.

Slipcovers offer no use to me, I agree with those that say they just take up room and rather useless. As far as collecting goes, they don't make your title worth any more money if you have the slip cover or not. I don't know what the big deal is.

Before I say what I have to say, I am on your side dvdjunkie when it comes to slipcovers. But you have to admit, a Beauty and the Beast or any Disney DVD for that matter would sell for much more than one without a cover. My cousin wouldn't bid on a BATB on ebay unless it had one.

Well, I bought the last Dumbo last week at Target because it had the slipcover... fearing the new batch they get in will not come with them.

Would you buy a record album and then toss out the cardboard covering because it takes up room? So what is the difference with slip covers? they are part of the packaging; some of us think it is pretty important stuff (me included, although in desperation I will buy it without the slipcover).

As for being able to order slip covers. I myself called them last year to order slip covers for Mary Poppins and I forget what the other one was, after having bought the DVDs without them, and then coming to UD Forums and learning that they should have come with slipcovers. The lady sort of gave me a bit of a hard time, saying she had to check if it was ok to send them out... it was not assured that I'd get them. finally she said, yes, I've got the permission to send them out. I did receive them, but I was left with the impression that they just do not want to do this type of service for the public. It was sort of like they were doing me a big favor and I'd better not ask again. Best thing to do is get the DVD at the outset if you are a completist who likes slipcovers.

I think that DVD's with slipcovers ARE worth more in reselling value, especially when you sell on ebay. I bought Sleeping Beauty off ebay for $45, and wouldn't even consider bidding unless I saw 'cardboard slipcover included' in the description.

Anyway -- I don't think Disney will be sending these out much longer. I think they've wised up to people who are trying to get new slipcovers for their original version.

I always make sure I buy my DVD's within the first few days to make sure I get a version with a slipcover on it. I've also noticed that a slipcover is not 'standard' anymore - there are many DVD's being released without one, including Eight Below.

It's long been a curious guessing game to see what gets one and what doesn't. Most frequently these days, new animated DTVs, significantly promoted re-releases of movies, and Studio Ghibli fare gets them, while everything else (with some exceptions) does not. Almost seems like Disney uses the slipcover as a tactic to help out DVDs that might need a bit of a push.

Still... How can you be offended by this... You cant demand to get a slipcover when you havent even bought the new version... And it IS stealing!! It wouldnt be if you had purchased the new version, and had not gotten a slipcover for it...

Do you steal dustjackets for books when your old books comes in new prints too?

magicalwands · Post by **magicalwands** » Thu Jun 22, 2006 9:39 am

BATBFan1, please don't follow through with my idea of owning a free slipcover. It'd be my fault that you will get your hands on one without buying the movie.

How about I just send mine your way when I find a way to mail it?

Lilo and Stitch did NOT have a slipcover, right? I'm pretty sure it didn't, but can someone tell me so I can be sure?
