Thanks to Annie Chu!
 
^^ Yep me 2 on the Bourne films and the waiting on Total Recall. Guess ill have to grab a few more MI4s too before it goes back up in price. Nothing else really interest me either.
 
Might finally get Thor and Capt. America, but only if they have stock with slip covers. Last time I checked, they didn't. :(
 
I'm not that surprised about Total Recall, but I don't regret picking it up on Amazon. I checked my local stores today, and they didn't have any copies.

Sadly, it looks like I may be finished with the U&S for this promotion. I always seem to have fewer Blu-ray targets than I do spare DVDs. :)
 
Full list for expendables movie money

CopLand
Transporter 3
Bank Job
Expendables
Crank
Total Recall (Reg)
War
Rambo
Rambo: First Blood
KickBoxer
Universal Soldier
Red Heat
T-2: Skynet Edition
Black Mask
Hostage


I should note Total Recall MBE is not the one with the movie cash, it's the older blu-ray release. Several people have already spotted it in-store. Pretty crappy of them to do it either way.

Are there any big differences between the original total recall blu and the new MBE version? Is the transfer significantly better?
 
Ugh, I was hoping for some really great deals with it being the last week(end?) of Upg&Sav. Being a minor movie-buff, but a cheapass first-and-foremost, I know that on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero most of the more expensive blu's I want are inevitably going to drop to much less. *Sigh of Entitlement*

Thanks for posting anyway, OP. Now I know enough not to get my hopes up for this weekend.
 
I still haven't seen the first Expendables, but if I could get TR & the first one for $5/each AND 2 free tickets to see the sequel, I'd bite. But knowing that the good version of TR doesn't have the free ticket, I'm torn.

is it free tickets? i thought it was movie cash (probably $5 each) and can't be stacked. at least that how it was for dark knight, which made my tickets go down from $10.50 to $5.50

Says it's up to $7.50, which is a free matinee here. And I'd need 2 because my wife frowns upon being left out of movie night. :p

The $5 off for TDKR can be stacked. I had 8 total vouchers for 4 tickets. They said no at first and wouldn't budge. Went inside, talked to a manager and they did it.

These are basically MFR coupons and are treated as cash. As long as each one is a unique coupon then they can take 2 per ticket so long as the total of the vouchers does not exceed the ticket price, or at least that is what they told me.
 
Yeah i had 3 TDKR cash for 5 tickets (3 adults 2 kids). The cash says treat it as a credit card. Used all 3 in one transaction. Used a CC to pay the rest amd the cash were just other payment methods that the lady scanned
 
Looks like Clockwork Orange.

Iffy on Total Recall (seen it SO many times) and Rambo (heard the transfer wasn't much improved over DVD), but I'm a sucker for $4.99 movies.
 
Whew, I was just about to go out and spend my last U&S coupon on something random just so that it doesn't go to waste. On top of that I was going to get Total Recall: MBE from Amazon for $7.99. Thanks OP, good to know I can kill two birds with one stone if I just wait until tomorrow.

Hopefully my store gets a fresh stock of Total Recall. The thing is completely sold out at every store in Arizona.
 
I figured the U&S was over so I haven't gone down the street to check on this yard sale where a neighbor is apparently selling DVDs. I'd get Expendables for $5 with movie cash no question...time to wander down and see what's there.
 
For the Expendables, isn't there an Extended Cut edition available? If so, what's the SKU for it? I can't seems to find this on BestBuy website.
 
[quote name='WV Matsui']I thought the expendables was awful[/QUOTE]
Of course it was, what were you expecting? ;)

I picked up a copy today, and wanted to mention that I saw that a bunch of the ones they put out had movie money for a different movie instead of Expendables 2 (some movie that came out in April). So be careful if you plan on getting a copy to make sure that you get the right one.

The store I went to actually only had one copy of The Expendables with the correct code attached.
 
The first and only store I went to was out of the copies with the Expendables 2 stickers, but had several on the rack with the old sticker. :\
 
So all copies at my store of the 4 advertised movies had Expendables cash, but my store didn't carry the MB edition of Total Recall so I just picked up the older blu-ray.
 
I went to my store just after opening today and they were still changing prices over from last week...sheesh. I saw several people walking around with ads in hand looking for the Expendable 2 Movie Money BDs but there were none to be had. Not sure if my store never got the shipment or just hadn't put them out yet but needless to say, the Total Recall: MBE that I was looking for was no where to be found.

I was going to go back later to see if they had Total Recall: MBE but the stock locator online still shows none in stock at any of the stores within 100 miles. What is the deal with not being able to find this movie?
 
For anyone looking for 3d movies, I just snagged Transformers DOTM and Hugo for 15 a piece after 5 dollar upgrade coupon.

Didnt see this mentioned anywhere, but REALLY great deal, especially for Hugo as I have been wanting it since it came out and I think the lowest Ive ever seen it is maybe 29.99? I didnt really look around too hard for other gems, but I did notice Tin Tin 3d for the same deal (I hated the movie so didnt grab it)

But yea DOTM and Hugo in 3d for 32 after tax. Pretty solid deal to me...

i went around 2pm today and they had the display setup for all the movies with expendables 2 movie cash. they had total recall on there with the movie cas, but it was not the MBE. i asked one of the blue shirts and he checked the computer for me. turns out that not all the stores in the area are getting them and the ones that will are still getting them en route. i assume it's because MBE is a relatively newer release? he said check this week and some of the local stores, but it will probably be close before the coupon expires.
