I want to preorder one of the treausres now and then 2 more after Christmas, but which one should I preorder first? Do you think they will run out of any of them before May? this is at Amazon by the way

I suggest Donald. From what I've seen on various DVD site, there are more pre-orders for Donald than Front-Lines, which means Donald is more likely to sell out quicker.

Not sure why you can only preorder one now and other later (no charges appear until product is shipped), BUT ... if I could only choose one to order it would be, without hesitation, On the Front Lines.

I love Donald and consider the Donald Tin to be a must have, but the OTFL collection is something most of us have seen little to nothing of, nor will we have a chance to again anythime soon. And it's a part of our History. No brainer for me.

if you're preordering from amazon, and they don't charge you until they ship anyway, i would just preorder them both. i don't understand your reasoning in waiting to preorder... :?

i've had them all on preorder since august....

Would they really run out of the new wave of treasures before they even come out? I wasn't going to pre-order any of them and just go buy them at the store. I'm going to get the costco set of the first 2 waves, so since I didn't know about those at the time, were they even available in the stores? Or should I just go ahead and pre-order?

I was only gonna preorder one now because I only have $30 bucks and I thought that the credit card would be charged right away. But if it isn't I'll preorder both + Mickey vol.2. It was just a monie issue.

are you guys really sure that the credit card won't be charged 'till the shipping date? I checked the e-mail that I recieved from amazon and it didn't say anything about it. They should make a house of mouse treasure

Yeah, only time you might be charged before a product ships is when you're dealing with different currencies. Make sure you use our links to support the site:

I'm dealing with a different currency, and I can also add that I'm never charged until it is shipped.

And if you are only going to get one, I'd say Donald because I think it will go faster (despite the increase in number of tins).

Definately get Frontlines first! With the war going on, i think it will be harder to find in stores.

Don't forget, Front Lines will *not* be a fun watch. I've seen some of the stuff on it, and while it's interesting, educational, and sad in many ways, it's not a "pop some popcorn and gather the kids around the tv" kind of disk.

If you're looking for entertainment, then Donald's the way to go.

i think it would be good to get the On the Front Lines set first since there is stuff in that set that has not been seen since the 1940's.

Ok I can agree to some point, but also don´t forget that many funny Donald Duck shorts are included on this Tin! :wink:
The educational, the training films and especially Victory through air power is as you say, no really "fun watch", in the sense if you compare it to the tins with only Donald and Mickey shorts, for an example.
But Victory... also have a comical part included in its running time - the section of the Aviation History. :)
