Pre-Order the Fast & Furious Anthology (8 Discs) Blu-ray for $24.99 ($6.25 per 2 disc) only at BlockBuster In-Store. Its must be a glitch, should be around $90-$100. DVD version is $21.99 (another price mistake) but don't have the item #. Pre-Order it now before the price fixed. Just give them the item #265425 then put $5 down.

Release Date: July 28th, 2009

Hmm, I already have the current set, but I'm sure I could sell it for at least $24.99 if I bought the new one at that price


...but I didn't like the 4th movie that much. Decisions decisions

That's such a huge mistake, don't you think the employees would prevent a pre-order at that price?

I spoke with a BBV manager and he said that BBV would not honor the pre-order price since it's obviously an error.

I don't even like the movies that much, and I'd buy the set for that price. It'd be cool if they actually honored it.

My Blockbuster said you can only pre-order like 2 or 3 different movies total. Like he named 2 or 3 movies that come out on DVD/Blu over the next 2 months and that's it.

They sell it to your account right then and there at the current price by using the "presale" function. Any remaining balance sticks until the item comes out and they choose "deliver" to complete the sale.

Amazon has the individuals available on 7/28. My guess is it's coming but not announced yet. Kinda stupid on Universal's part as they just released a Trilogy less than 4 months ago. Count me in though. BBV is on the way home from the office.

Looks like a 4pk on DVD too.

Blockbuster's system is not that advanced... I highly doubt anything of the sort will happen.

And as long as a movie is in the system, you should be able to preorder it with no questions asked.

I see they do have limited editions coming out same day and date as the 4th film, I dont see why Universal would not take advantage of this and release all 4 limited editions.

alright, pre-ordered 1 with $5 down! i didn't ask the price becuase i didn't want to get shot down immediately, but am crossing my fingers it goes through!

(while i think the story and acting is rather weak, i watch it for the cars, the racing, and of course, the girls :lol: )

I dunno. I figured if they want to cancel it they can. We either get our $5 or $25 back depending if we paid full or just preordered with $5. I just thought I'd pay in full so my receipt says "Balance: 0.00" I understand that this deal is a long shot, but at least when the time comes, I can make the argument that I already paid it in full, and to charge me more after I fully paid for it just does not seem right.

It's worth it for the original and Tokyo Drift alone. 2 Fast is laughably awful, and I have no idea about the last one... but still, not bad for Blus.

Thanks, OP. In for 2. One for myself and one for eBay. :D

I only put $10 down, the lady said it was $24.99. I didn't want to ask anymore questions, cause the line was building. Let's hope for the best.

Original 3? Tokyo Drift is #3 in the series. Chronologically the lastest one, the 4th one takes places inbetween movie #2 and movie #3.

Mine said paying in full wasn't an option. You could pay all of it except $1, which would be due when you picked it up.

If they give me a problem, I'll just get my $5 refunded or just call it a loss.

06-15-2009, 10:23 PM
I will try to get these even though the only one I've never seen is Tokyo Drift. I like the series so as long as they look good in HD I'll be happy.

For those that have to pay the buck that is YMMV because some stores let you pay the whole price but from experience it all depends on the employee(s) you deal with. This happened when I preordered Iron Man I had to pay the buck when I picked it up.

Someone pointed out the description on the receipt.

"FAST AND FURIOS 4, THE-MOVIE-COLL-8D"

My guess is they have "special" people entering the descriptions. I bet you're all getting F&F Collectors Edition (8D should be ED). I would bite if it actually specified Anthology somewhere in the description. TheDigitalBits didn't specify any form of Anthology when F&F was announced.

06-16-2009, 12:47 AM
Hmmm makes sense about a typo being COL ED, not 8D. The thing is, the clerk mentioned on the description that it's an anthology...meaning a collection of stories by definition. Why would they have anthology on the description if it wasn't a collection of all four movies? I'll keep on hoping, but it seems like a real long shot now as I do more research about it.

06-16-2009, 12:52 AM
I doubt this will stand. Most likely you'll have to pay the full MSRP on release day when you go to pick it up.

thewatcher
06-16-2009, 12:54 AM
the problem is if its not all four movies how can we argue our way into all 4 films, I doubt BB is going to then reorder all 4 films seperatly and still sell them for 25.00, so I guess if the deal is bogus then it would be easiest to just get a refund for the deposit.

In my case I was going to purchase Fast & Furious by itself on release so Im not out anything and if the deal goes threw then kudos.

blk00civicsi
06-16-2009, 12:56 AM
Does your reciept show anthology anywhere? There's nothing official out there on any site for sale and were less than 7 weeks to the release of this. I was all for it but I'd rather wait until something firm is announced than listen to assumptions and heresay. G/L to all that did this. I really hope this works out

The silver bar at the top of the blu ray case clearly says special edition. My guess is that is considered to be a collectors edition in BBVs eyes.

I guess another way to resolve is to have the op check both item #'s from BB computer system to see if there is more than one and the #'s.

06-16-2009, 01:58 AM
I just got a message back from the op and he insists there are two differant numbers:

Good luck to all those who are trying to get this.... but I think this is a mistake as some of you already mentioned. I haven't seen anything official and it's almost a month and a half. The price kind of points to Fast & Furious single 2-Disc BD edition. By the way isn't it "The Fast & The Furious" trilogy/Anthology and not "Fast & Furious"?

I think because #2 is called 2 fast to furious... it makes more sense for them to name it Fast & Furious since all titles dont start with.."THE" lol


anyways.... if its an 8 disc anthology... shouldnt it be all 4 movies?
it is 8 discs afterall

the movie coll in the title suggests otherwise. from what i have gathered it is blu ray and there is a separate item for standard def. if it were a typo, the 8 and the e are nowhere near each other.

The guy at my Blockbuster got salty for me wanting to preorder the set. He said it was an error (which he is most likely right) I told him I wanted to see if I could get lucky. Then he said it was probably for just the fourth movie, single disc. I said 24.99 is still a good price for it, I'd like to preorder it. Then he strongly urged me to only put 5.00 down so that if I need to cancel it, I only have to get a 5.00 "store credit" instead of making it a 25.00 refund. Like it's harder for them to handle a 25.00 refund. And I don't know what all of that store credit horsepuckey is about. They better not be giving me store credit considering I paid with a debit card. You can give me my original payment back if your company screws up and doesn't want to follow through. Bitch!

You guys are putting a LOT of faith in what clearly could be a typo. Don't get too hung up on the 8D/ED mistake either. If you notice it also says Fast & Furious 4 as well. This is like a 97% chance of just being #4 Collectors Ed on Blu. Their pricing is spot on with Amazon and again Universal has not announced an Anthology for these. There is a 4 movie DVD set that was announced but nothing on Blu.

My guess is that Universal is not releasing an Anthology because the Trilogy was just released in March. That would be extremely dumb on their part to release another box set within 4 months. Of course, there is always room for yet another release of these but it definitely isn't within 4 months that you'd see it.

This is all very possible, but were all ignoring a few things here one the op has stated two differant blu ray item numbers one for the 8D and one for the regular edition. Two there are 3 limited edition blu rays of the first three movies that look identical to the cover art theme of the 4th movie that come out the same day. And third the reciept though vague states "FAST AND FURIOUS 4, THE-MOVIE Coll-8D(" which really could mean anything for instance what is the trailing ( for? Oh, and one more point they are releasing all four boxset to dvd so why not blu?

Which OP? BR.com OP doesn't mention anything about a secondary BR available. PiNOY is the OP for this thread and he took the information from BR.com. He also isn't getting in on this which makes it even more sketchy. I'm being serious when I say I hope it works out BUT keep in mind that there is NO 8-disc Set announced by Universal for Blu-Ray. Most studios announce special editions or box sets when the Title is announced. And that didn't happen in this case.

But you just need to put down $5. If it turns out to be a price mistake you are really going to feel stupid by not putting a preorder. If it is a mistake just cancel and get your $5 back.

Agreed. Also, if it is a price mistake even a $5 deposit will guarantee that price. You don't have to pay it all up front. I know because there was a mistake on Watchmen 3 disc Director's cut on BD for 19.99. Put $5 down and locked the $15 final payment down. I figure it's well worth a try and if it doesn't work, no big deal. But if it does, I made out like a bandit.

Oh, snaps. Well I guess I could have just did the 5.00. Knowing the manager in the BB by my house, the few times that wind up being clashes, he would make up some bullshit if this set is real and BB fixes the price. Least now I have a receipt that shows its paid off.

Frag Rev
06-17-2009, 08:12 AM
Well I went and asked them to check if they had a Fast & Furious Anthology in their computer and the employee couldn't find it. I gave him the item # and it popped up for $24.99. I asked him, "This is the blu-ray, with 8 discs?" He replied "yes". I'm not sure how confident I am in what he said, but even if this is the Fast & Furious 4 Collector's edition, it's well worth the risk in my opinion. It's only $5, after all.

And OrngRubberDucky, they asked me for my blockbuster card when I pre-ordered, so probably.

Maybe the 4 means 4 movies. Check out the DVD collection at Amazon:

I could see that if there were actually a Blu Ray version of this but there isn't. Plus the 4 is before the comma so its part of the Title not the description.

I used to work at a Blockbuster, as a shift supervisor. I'm still friends with the management there.

I called today and explained what the debate was online, as to what this may actually be selling.

He said, and I quote, 'It clearly says bluray and it clearly says eight discs, and it clearly says movie collection'. It's also still in their system for $24.99.

He also said, and I quote, 'That's what our computer says, but who knows what it means. They say some weird **** sometimes'.

So, for the naysayers doubting the original topic over at bluray forums -- the guy knew what he was talking about. What this product is though, we have no idea, seeing as how nothing's been announced as a box set for all four movies on bluray. Either way, this is NOT just for the fourth movie.

What I'm assuming it is, is that someone in the company saw the 4-Movie Collection DVD set and assumed there would be a bluray version, and put it into the system.

Either way, I can guarantee you that the people who have made a preorder of this product were doing so for a bluray, eight disc collection. The 8D is not a typo.

As a former employee what would the policy be for this, would you accomadate and the 3disc box along with the 4th film instead at the same price or just refund the money? What if the customer complained and said a refund wasnt good enough, do we have an argument?

P.s. did you byte on the offer?

Ok, i pre-ordered it even though i am not 100% that i actually want it.. lol Anyway i put 5 dollars down and the receipt i got just showed what i preordered and it did not show the balance. I asked the clerk what was the balance on it and she checked my account and she said 19.99, so from here i guess we will see if they follow through on the price!!

This also comes out the same day, i really hope this is not the case!!

Well, the problem is that you most likely didn't want in and say, "Hey, I'd like to preorder your bluray box set for Fast and Furious". There really wouldn't be much of an argument -- they agreed to sell you something and they ended up not having it for sale. They'd give you a refund, which is about all the entitlement you'd have. Not being mean here, just honest.

As for whether or not I bit...no comment.

I don't see why they shouldn't release that on blu-ray. I guess maybe because they just released the trilogy on blu-ray, though. Who knows at this point..

I don't know about marking them up. They sure are slow on bringing the prices down that's for sure. As far as I know new blu ray in most retail stores have a standard price of $29.99 and that's what 99% of Blockbuster's BluRays start at.

Earlier in this thread I said that I spoke with a BBV manager and was told that they could not honor this price. However I was able to find another BBV that accepted this pre-order. I got a call yesterday though saying that I had to come back to that BBV for a refund as they could not honor the price. Just when I thought I was home free. :*(

I went to blockbuster tonight around 10:20pm ish and pre-ordered mine. I happened to order mine through the manager and she was surprised that i had the item number and I had to play if off saying that i had a friend working at blockbuster. And from what i found out from her, it was blu-ray collector's edition 8 disc. (on her screen, I triple checked to see if it was 8 disc blu ray collector's edition)

I hope this deal goes through. Such an awesome deal for the price. I will raise hell if they don't honor it on the day that it comes out. (they can't really do that can they?)

The first one I went to, I gave the #, they looked it up, told me it was the 8 disc Blu-Ray and that it was $24.99 + tax.

I said I would like to preorder and the girl says "I can't." I was thinking to myself, I guess it was a mistake and they figured it out.

Then she said, yea, the release date is about 10 days after our close date. You can preorder at the other store (local, about 10 minutes away.....same distance from my house, just opposite direction.)


If this goes through, this should move them right into Chapter 11.

OP I think you can officially call this one dead. None of the Blockbusters in my district received this, and my district manager recalled hearing about this error during one of his conference calls with corporate. Not sure why it wasn't removed from the system, but my guess is because people put preorders on it, and if they removed it right away then those people would be screwed.

OFFICIAL UPDATE:

Spoke with my Blockbuster store manager. This set DOES exist and they're retailing it for $99.99. The set was put in the system with a 'random' pricepoint of $24.99, but it does not reflect the actual price. I was the only one who ordered it at the store closest to me, and the manager confirmed that he 'canceled the order' because 'when rung up, it will say you still owe $75'.

He chose not to have it sent to his store since he didn't think anyone would buy it for $99.99. I guess it's very YMMV on whether or not your store manager will honor the price. I had paid for it in full, and told that it would not be honored because the price was just flatout wrong.

There you have it. Sorry all.

woa...that's some awesome news. I been waiting for so long for some positive news. i was assured that even if the price went up I was guaranteed that price for $24.99. I'm guessing those of you who only put down the $5 wont receive the honored price since you did not pay in "full" like some of us did. The BB associate told me that since I paid the amount in full there wouldn't be any issues with the price if it were to go up since my receipt shows no ending balance! thus they cant try to pull a fast one.

I hope this information is useful to some of you! :) sometimes its better to go for the whole deal then be a cheap ass ;) lets all cross our fingers either way!

I've been watching this thread for a while and I find it to be rather interesting. I actually do work in a Blockbuster and have for 4 years. I'm an assistant manager and I can tell you that we have no copies of this set on order, despite having presold a copy. Anything we presell does automatically come in as an order, providing it is actually something we would typically stock. Whenever we get a Blockbuster exclusive, it is acknowledged ahead of time in our e-mails to further enhance the likelihood of us making an actual profit from it. If there was any chance whatsoever of us getting this set, it would have been in our regular shipment, which comes in 1 week before the actual release date. We got the single blurays of Fast and Furious, but no boxed set. I really doubt that anyone will have much if any luck getting this set. I'm also very curious to know what manager does their own ordering. Perhaps your Blockbuster is a franchised one, but all of the corporate stores have orders dictated by someone in our headquarters. We can not special order anything and have to have preorders done a week in advance otherwise we will not get that product.
edit: Also, once something is oredered it is absolutely locked in at that price. For example, when I got my 19.99 copy of Watchmen this week.

At my store I prepaid but they wouldn't let me fully pay. They said I had to leave $1 off the table so they can close the transaction when I show up. It's a super-long shot, but anyways I put down $23.99 and I'm hoping to score!

All I can honestly say is that at corporate stores, we do not do our own ordering. If he cancelled your preorder, he went out of his way to do it. Once any payment is made on a product that is preordered, it automatically counts as a sale of the item. Think of it as a layaway of sorts. The price can not change as long as that item is preordered. It doesn't matter if you put down $5. or the full amount, it will definitely stay locked at that price. As long as that item does in fact exist...

The person that cashed you out just didn't know what he was doing. When you preorder an item the computer asks if you want to accept a deposit. If someone is putting an amount that is not the full amount you say yes and type in that amount (which also gets taxed at that time). Otherwise you say that you would not like to put a deposit down and it charges for the entire item up front.

well this is sounding a little more hopeful, my question is like any store if an item is pre ordered no matter if it is corporate or not wouldnt the system tell it to order it no matter how many were sold? If that is the case then anyone who pre ordered it should have a chance.

Typically they would, but it's impossible for the system to order an item that doesn't exist. As of yet, I still have not seen any evidence that this one does.

Yeah, my store only received the newest one on BluRay. Not even showing the other 3 on order, only further solidifying my belief that this product does not exist anymore. It might have at one point in some form or another, but it currently does not. My store had 6 copies pre-ordered and not only did my store my receive them, but none of the other stores in the district either. You're more than welcome to wait it out. I'm leaving my pre-order until next weeks shipment comes through, but not really holding my breath any more.

No it's not. He's paying money for an item on a screen that may or may not exist. Shit, Frame City Killer for XBox 360 is still in our system at GC and we can take preorders on it, despite it being cancelled a year or two ago.

Yeah, the system isn't set up to add money to a previous preorder. But at the same time, it does lock in the price until you buy it, or until they credit the money back. I saw someone's account the other day that still had a Halo 3 preorder on it. So as far as I'm aware, it stays on the account indefinitely.

Based on the ads I've seen this will probably be the DVD version of the movies that you all will be getting. Because they have a DVD set of all the movies together but the Blus are sold individually. Sorry folks but you are going to be very disappointed come Tuesday (Only other logical thing is for them to put each of the 4 movies new on Blu together to sell but I find that highly unlikely.)

But it only has 1 real race, and only 3 big action sequences, and 1 of those has so much CG that it doesn't really count. It was too character driven.

All of my BBs completely shutdown pre-orders the day after this deal went live. I don't know how you guys were able to pre-order.

As much as I'm sure a lot of you don't want to hear this, TFATF: Tokyo Drift was the best of the series. Why? Because it knew its place: it was stupid, it was exotic, and it placed cars in the forefront. Just look at the Blu-ray covers... all of them place the characters (who, lets be honest, are not all that interesting or well acted) at the forefront, as if you give a shit about any of them, with the exception of Tokyo Drift which places the emphasis squarely on the cars.

While all the FF movies are stupid as hell, TD gets the stupidity in all the right places. And while I can't believe I'm admitting this, F&F is probably the worst, because it takes itself so seriously (which occasionally delving into Taken-esque levels of ridiculousness)... to think, I'd rather watch 2F2F than this.

Let me be the first one to break this news to all.

I just called my local BBV regarding my pre-order and in their system, it still clearly says "8 disc bluray collection." Unfortunately, they have not received anything like it or heard of anything like it. The release date for it is today (if such existed) and when I askef what I pre-ordered, she simply said she has no idea.

Well guys, looks like this one is over for me. The clerk was very nice and said she'll gladly refund my deposit. She was even very apologetic about the situation and I told her it's not her fault. I just told her that I thought maybe I could score an 8-disc bluray for dirt cheap! Ah... the
life of a CAG. :)

I agree that this deal is probably dead because i just got back from my blockbuster and after about 20 minutes of the guy searching the cabinets/computer calling other people from different stores he finally told me that they didn't recieve it yet and it was probably coming today or tomorrow off of the truck. lol I really felt like telling the guy that this product didn't exist but he worked really hard trying to find it for me. I will check back tomorrow afternoon after work to see if anything arrived but i highly doubt it and i will look to get my money back. Anyone else with a story??

Should have known that this wasn't happening. There was too much proof to deny. Plus you should have jumped in on the Amazon deal I posted a few pages back. I got all 4 for $15 out of pocket with Amazon's discount and my outstanding Credit. $66 wasn't bad for all 4 but that Promo's ended.

Just came back from BBV to get my refund. The manager spoke to the DM of the area and said no such item exist and as far as the SKU number being in the computer, he said he will look into it.

I used my $25 credit towards 2 for 25 BD sale and I got JCVD and Taken. I was going to get Fast and Furious by itself but I can't justify buying one bluray if I can get two.
