OK, instead of having loads of various thread flying about the place, I figured it would make more sense if we kept them all to one thread. I suppose if you want to point out a non Disney DVD that is on offer you can do so here too.

Anyway let's get things started:

If you buy <a href="http://secure.disney.co.uk/onlinestore/ ... =1">Herbie: Fully Loaded</a> from DisneyDVDShop.co.uk, you get any other Herbie film of your choice for free. so the DVDs up for offer are <a href="http://www.disney.co.uk/DisneyVideos/shop/herbie_bogof/"> "The Love Bug", "Herbie Rides Again", "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" and "Herbie Goes Bananas".

I got all my treasures from play.com for those prices. Donald came today, in a big box with bubble wrap and everything.....was very impressed with that. :lol:
Just why couldnt they do this with Mickey Mouse In Living Colour? Then it wouldnt have a dent at the bottom. :(

Just Silly Symphonies to get now. Then i may get a couple of the region 1 treasures. :D

I also got my Donald from play.com today in a big box.

My Mickey Vol 2 came in a jiffy bag and had a dent on the back. I didn't complain because I figured I'd only paid £6.99. Maybe someone did complain and that's why they've but them into the big boxes ?

hogsmeadhowler The ones from play.com come in the metal tins (at least my Chronological Donald and Mickey Vol 2 did)

i got three treasures from Play.com, but unlike punkoala, my MM2 didn't come with a tin, where as all the others did (MM1 + SS).

Well it's not Disney, but I may as well stick this in here.

HMV (surprisingly) have the first 5 seasons of the Simpsons, all for £13.99 including free shipping.

Thanks Bod, i've been thinking about collecting The Simpsons box sets for a while now, any idea how long the season 6 limited edition packaging will last for?

And Riki, it seems the tin for Mickey In Living Colour 2 isnt included anymore. Looks like they finally ran out......but all of the others from play have been delivered with the tins. :)

Probably until around Xmas time I would guess. Have you actually seen it though? I mean really got up close and opened one up? I would just go for the digipack if I were you, the plastic is really cheap and flimsy, it's like a jazzy yoghurt pot.

Well, I'll admit, it does look a bit cheap. But I like it. And I hate Jazz.

I've seen it and was very surprised. Its patheticly crap, i dont know what the US kicked up such a fuss about, i thought the box was actually Homers head, but instead its a piece of flimsy plastic that goes over the digipack.
The only reason id want one is since im guessing from now on they'll all have a head.........

What? Have you actually seen it? There are 2 versions in stores one is a digipack, like all the previous releases, but the Homer's head is actually a plastic head.

Yes they will all have a head from now on, but they will also have an alternate digipack too.

Oh, i'll have to take a better look, i thought it was just something that went over the digipack...

I now see what you mean Bod, i prefer the digipack to that yellow box. I can get Season 6 whenever that as i dont want the limited edition one.
