BruceH Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 ... Then we needed another cable, so a quick run to Target resulted in picking up The Ladykillers. I've been curious about this one since the Tom Hanks came out (and immediately disappeared if I'm not mistaken!); I've never seen it, but with Guinness, Sellers and Lom, how bad can it be? Well, you should like it, it is quite funny...the old lady is priceless...since you and I agree on politics, Bob Hope, and jazz, what are the odds you won't like it! The original, British, Ladykillers is great! A classic; you are sure to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Simpsons season Four!!!!! ...so much for jazz today! So much for my WALLET!! I just saw this today. They took their sweet time releasing this, waiting until I had no money. Damn. But I'm still psyched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Gabbo!!!! The funniest ever episode is the last one in season 4!!! Krusty's comeback special! But I think season 3 might be better. The swear jar!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 (edited) In case this isn't yet common knowledge, FYE stores -- and stores owned by the same parent company, as in Coconuts -- is selling the first three seasons of The Simpsons at $15 each. Offer runs through June 19. NO rain checks: once they're gone, you're out of luck. I bought all three yesterday so OF COURSE I now need season four.

BruceH Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I think seasons 2 & 3 are tied for my favorite, but season 4 is up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 If anyone's wanting the Simpsons sets and your local FYE is out of stock, they have a flyer in their store with the advertised $14.99 price. The flyer worked to get a price match at my local Best Buy. But the sale is only good until Saturday I believe, so if you're interested, you've only got a couple of days left. Thanks Chaney for bringing up this sale. Too good to pass up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Also, I've just recently discovered that my local Blockbuster and Hollywood stores have been running "Buy 3 for $25" sales on their used stock. For movies I really want/treasure, I'd definitely rather pick up new copies, but it's not bad for the rest. I've picked up The Pianist, Scarface, Big Fish, and Gangs of New York this way. And it's a cost effective way of picking up inexpensive movies for my kids as well (my daughter's interested in Lizzie McGuire and Mary Kate & Ashley right now - wouldn't want to spend alot on those kind of things!). The nice thing is that you can always re-sell them to other used stores, and just about re-coup your money, or at least only be out about the price of a rental anyway.

Thanks Chaney for bringing up this sale. Too good to pass up! My plans for after work just changed. The FYE down the road has all three sets in stock for $14.99. There is no way I can pass this deal up. This board has cost me more money than I care to think about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'm always glad when I can do my part in helping drain the wallets of my fellow members. B) John: Buying additional sets would be wise as they'd make nice gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 I don't know if there are Northern Exposure fans here, but I loved that show from the early 1990s. At one point I didn't have a TV, but I still had friends tape that show for me to catch up on. It was literally the only TV I watched for about two years. Anyway, the first season is out. It is way too expensive -- about $60 for eight episodes -- but it is selling for less at Target and Best Buy. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saved me at least $25 (sorry, you aint getting it!). I was about to go to bestbuy last night and buy season 3 and 4 together (they give you 10% off for buying 2), but I decided to wait until today-good thing I checked in here first!! I got season 3 at fye, a store I usually try to avoid because of their typically high prices and their tendency to BLAST rap whenever I am in the store, then went to best buy and season 4 for $30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Thank you for telling me about this. ... Glad you (and others) could save a few bucks. I found out about this on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. I phoned a local FYE asking what time they closed. Answer: "Six o'clock. We're just on our way out the door." I bought the first three seasons after work on Monday and ordered season four yesterday from DeepDiscount DVD for $29.89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Chaney ain't whistling Dixie! It is for real, and I was surprised to see the FYE still had some in stock! $45 bucks for 3 is sweeeet! They also have a few $1.88 cds that are 1.66 if you buy 3...at least that was a week ago, just got a few cds for $1.00 and a few for .50!!!

Craig23 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Best Buy kept mine, otherwise I'd be glad to help. Sorry! Thats okay. Saves my wallet a bit anyway. Hmmm, maybe since I was going to spend $45 on Simpsons discs I have an excuse to buy $45 in music instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if Best Buy would take a printout of the flyer but it is worth a try...... I directed a coworker to fye to finish his collection too, and i told him to hurry because it looks like they have limited stock, but he reported back that he went past the display of them at the front of the store and instead went to the back, and saw PILES of seasons 2 and 3 (he wasnt looking for season 1) in one of those cabinets under the display racks. maybe your local one has the same situation? I'm thinking the complete seasons 1, 2 and 3 might make a kick-ass Christmas gift for my brother this year....cant beat the price!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to a few in the past couple of days, and both of them had a fair number.....Also, I saw at the second FYE flyers talking about rebates on MANY sets, $15 to $20 off of Alias, Family Guy, Futurama, the Box set of Scarface (With the Paul Muni version) and many more! I don't think I saw a date for those, so don't know if the 19th is it for them....some stores are better run than others of course...
