stealthpirate07 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I want to know if anyone else tried to get this movie at their store and how many copies they had. My local Wal*Mart in Northeast Ohio had 3 copies. I don't know why that was the number they had but its ridiculous. Did anyone else encounter similar quantities?
riven3d Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 my local store had none and the madagascar 3 was also not there, glad got it already, i would of been pissed
stealthpirate07 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 They had bunch of Madagascar 3 and almost 40ish of Hunger Games. I really think either customers got to them before they wrapped them or employees got to pick out stuff.
nikkilugi Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I went to 2 and didn't find any either. I asked someone and they said there were none out. Some people were picking up the non promo ones by the registers and were going to demand the store honors the sale price.
stealthpirate07 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 I wasn't gonna try that because they would just say it doesn't have a promo sticker on it or its the wrong version. Not worth the hassle during the chaos. Hopefully I can get them to resolve this online somehow. Doubtful but worth the try. I just think its really shady they advertise that and its very very low quantities as I saw and others are seeing. I know in the past the store I shop at claimed they don't control whats shipped to them.
allshoppedout Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Just a reminder that Amazon is "Supposed" to have the Brave blu ray combo set on MONDAY, 1220-420 PM (PST) that's 320-720 PM Eastern time... Seems they've been deleting/switching some items on the schedule per other gottadealers, but it may be a chance to score this one... good luck
carolannec Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 We got it and they had about 30 copies left! They actually weren't with the "promo" dvds, they where with the regular blu ray on the wire racks. Same with the lorax. It(the lorax) was ringing up reg. price(19.??), and we showed them the ad at checkout that the cover was exactly the same as the ad for 8.96, and they just did a price override for us. We also saw tons of Madagascar, but that was mixed in with all the baby clothes.
katiesmommy01 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I had to have someone find it and check the price to make sure because they WERE NOT MARKED at all! But there were alot of them (just no-one knew where they were)...got ours
HomeinKS Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I posted the below paragraph in another thread here. I will repost here in case it is helpful. I do not know which version of Brave that my husband picked up, but he said it rang up at the sale price. I got the impression that there was a display of the DVD. My husband went to WalMart this evening and was looking for Brave. He did not find it with the rest of the DVDs. When he was checking out he spotted them in a separate area that was roped off. It was in one of those spaces that some WalMarts have in the very front of their stores along with the vision center, etc. He checked out, grabbed an ad, took his stuff to the car and came back in to buy Brave at the sale price.
ccmrlend Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I too was able to find Brave but only because I guessed right on which one it was on the shelf. I didn't see any Madagascar 3 combo packs.My Walmart was a mad house and it seemed hard to find everything. I ended up wandering around and was able to find pretty much everything I was looking for laying somewhere.
coreysapril Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I was able to purchase the brave dvd combo pack for 8.96 and free shipping online just a few minutes ago.
rlnlandal Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 none in my store and no one seemed to know where any of the blu ray combo packs were
Stowasser Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I was able to purchase the brave dvd combo pack for 8.96 and free shipping online just a few minutes ago.I got in too, I hope, got the confirmation email....I didn't realize it was so hot until I got off and decided to post here and the link said out of stock
tehlilone Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Mine had none. No Brave and no Madagascar. Luckily, I got it on Amazon. If it didn't have a promo sticker and it rang up normal then it wasn't the right one. It's good if you got a price adjustment but they're not supposed to do that.
mtsuboy Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 The store I work at had no copies of Brave with other BF movies. However, the copies on the shelf in the electronics department were ringing up $8.96. Ask someone to check the price. Don't assume because there's NOT a colored sticker on the box it's not going to ring up the sale price.
katwkittens Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 None at our store Thursday evening, electronics manager could not find a single one. True with some other items as well. We left and decided to try again in the early morning. after re-stocking. And sure enough they had found a box of the brave blu-ray combos in the back, along with a TON of other items. There was no one in the store, 5 am. They put out 6 more displays of blu-rays and dvds, 6-7 more pallets of toys, electronics including the blu-ray players, TVs (all had needed tickets/lines previously) phones, more pallets of clothes......looked like a totally different store. Shopped for at least 2 hours before anyone else wandered in, this is a huge 24 hour Super Center. It was impossible to walk Thursday night and it was like a ghost town Friday morning.
hnybee411 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 It's worth taking to the register with the ad if you can't find the specially marked ones. I always just tell them they price match everyone else, they need to price match themselves and have never had a problem at any of three local walmarts. The worst that can happen is they say no.
fluffkin79 Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 I saw a display box of Brave - the ones they have when new movies come out - on my way to the storage benches. I picked one up expecting it to scan full price but it did ring up at $9. I found another copy abandoned on a shelf and it rang up as $9, too. They had different boxes.
peppysfireball Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 There were several laying by the price checker in my walmart. They scanned 20.00. A man in front of me was asking for a price check. The woman was going through the flyer and then went over to the service desk. Came back told him no and put it under the counter. I intend to get mine on Amazon Monday. I've gotten all my other movies on there already.
AndreaInNC Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 We waited for 3 hours for them to find the Promo Brave ... they never did. Fortunately I grabbed one of the normal ones and it rang up at the sale price. It was crazy at our Walmart. Apparently they had too much stock in the back and they couldn't keep it all straight.
txgurl Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I got it w/ no problems, it was in a roped off area where they only let five ppl in at a time. There were around 20 of them, I also got The Lorax, they were both in a regular box with no promo sticker.
