Went into Dick Smith to pick up this deal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/97320 and found they have all blu-rays $5 individual movies and $20 blu-ray box sets.

Obviously I spent more than I intended.
Grind house box set, predator collection, ultimate gangster collection were some of the box sets as well as quite a few individual movies.

I could easily have spent $150 but stopped myself at $75.

Edit:
Credit where credit is due, g12345567 originally posted this in a comment of the Band of Brothers/The Pacific deal, I didn't see that comment before posting this.

      Sorry, I was at Springvale (VIC) and posting the deal from my phone.
      Looks like nation-wide:

        Thanks. Just went to Springvale and got what you'd left behind! Still quite a few good ones available (all the Harry Potters are there, the two Daniel Craig Bond films that are on blu ray, madagascar 1 and 2 and a few kids films). Good find, thanks

        • pumpkinspice on 21/03/2013 - 14:13

          You're welcome.
          I got the last Band of Brothers/The Pacific box set they had. Apparently several people called up wanting it after I clicked to collect. They even checked my name to make sure I wasn't trying to stooge them.

      24 hours by the time they received the order.

      But beware happened before by the time the store received the order they may not immediately put it aside, in that case it may got sold.

    Forget about your hopes on some of these box sets : THEY'RE GONE !!

    I was after the GRINDHOUSE set at Sydney - yep, we've been cleaning it out - there's a lot left, but titles that you probably wouldn't really touch for $5.

    • sparkles on 21/03/2013 - 20:11

      They had about four copies of the Grindhouse at Fountain Gate. It's like a flat pack thing. Damn, I would have got you one.

  • ItsMeAgro on 21/03/2013 - 13:55

    Just did click and collect for Kung Fu Panda 2. A few more that I wanted were marked as "low stock" or "out of stock", that was the only one I could reserve.

    Hope they honour it. If I'm lucky they'll have a few of the low stock ones too…

    I just rang the store I click and collected for, and they said they aren't processing any click and collect orders it is simply first come first serve basis.

    I was lucky enough to convince the guy to put one aside for me and I'm on my way to pick it up now…

    So for those of you who are hoping for a click and collect it might pay to ring up and check.

          "The Jackpot" a.k.a. "La Totale!" is a 1991 French comedy film directed by Claude Zidi. The original film was the basis for director James Cameron's 1994 action comedy True Lies.

    Just be aware that out of the 12 blurays I selected, in the click and collect option about 10 were unavailable. Ended up walking to the store and found about 10 out of thwe 12 were on the shelf. So it probably pays to go in to the store.

    Perth store has heaps left.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/03/2013 - 15:58

      Same here, looked online at my local (Ingle Farm, SA) said that only 2 of the 10 I looked at were there, but went in there and walked out with 8, including some that aren't on the website.

    • ChiefAJ on 21/03/2013 - 16:07

      Perth store still has heaps of stock. They still have $19.95 stickers everywhere so perhaps nobody has twigged.

  • Captain Obvious on 21/03/2013 - 14:36

    Lots of stock at Glenelg SA, Westlakes still have a bit. Adelaide did not have much.

    Adelaide did have 1 band of brothers box set when i rang, they told me they could not hold it so i rushed into the city to get it. I looked where the box sets were but no luck, When i was paying for the blurays at the counter the manager came out with the band of brothers box. I questioned him about it and he said "It wasn't on hold I just had it out the back". what a fucken stooge.

    Make sure they unlock them for you!

    The guy at glenelg (Thank you) asked me if the city store had unlocked them for me so i checked and they had not!
    I had to ask the westlakes store to unlock them.

        Still, by now most of those must be gone at these prices, time for this deal to show some indication to people that their chances aren't great. If they still want to go, great, but they should at least be warned to call first.

        Cool. You can upvote the deal.

        The problem is though, that downvotes are hated on this site. Even an extremely useful one like mine on this deal, which would have saved a lot of people a lot of wasted time and disappointment, was suppressed and revoked by people downvoting my comment.

        This is not a deal deserving hundreds of upvotes and zero negs (which it has, as I type this). There are serious concerns. Most of the people who see it from the time I commented will be terribly disappointed. A few more hours and the comments will be full of annoyed people getting home from shopping where they found zero stock. Their time will have been needlessly wasted by people who try to supress negs by negging the commentor.

        It's the biggest problem facing OzBargain, I think. Mods, you need to stop encouraging witchhunts against downvotes and think of a way to legitimately warn people about problematic deals.
