Willow : Price Jump?

Price Jump?

A few months back I looked up Willow on Amazon and found it new for $15. I put it on my wish list and I just checked it and now it's over $80 just for the DVD . I checked Hastings website and they sell it new for around $60. Why all of a sudden a huge price jump?

Re: Price Jump?

If a movie is no longer available or out of print, then it is only available from sellers on Amazon and other similar sites. These sellers are nearly always rip-off artists that ask WAY too much for anything. It may also have to do with the fact that Disney owns it now, which in turn may have limited the run of the later release and made it somewhat more rare.

Go to Ebay...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Willow-Blu-ray-DVD-2013-2-Disc-Set-/221933415259?hash=item33ac432b5b:m:mOW7i7OG_0o2GFs3dAm9xvQ

I am not a fan. I just happen to enjoy movies. Fans are embarrassing.

Re: Price Jump?

Until just a few months ago my local Wal-Mart had the BluRay for $9.99 .

Re: Price Jump?

I saw that too. I was so pissed. Wish I'd bought it when it normal price. I have a DVD but wanted that Blu Ray too.

Re: Price Jump?

The DVD is now in the bargain price range since the bluray came out.

I think the spike in price was because they stopped printing the actual DVD in favor of the bluray edition.

Re: Price Jump?

Where? The cheapest price on Amazon is currently $54 for the DVD. There is no Bluray option.

Re: Price Jump?

I just found the Bluray version and the cheapest price for it is $185.

Re: Price Jump?

I'm seeing the DVD listed on ebay and elsewhere for dirt cheap. But yeah, the bluray shot up to nearly $200 for some reason.

I'm guessing there's going to be a "high range" bluray edition coming out soon.

Re: Price Jump?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe this was due in part to Lucasfilm selling its intellectual properties to Disney. I'm not completely sure Willow was included in the sale, but it seems likely. I expect a Disney release one of these days on blu ray if that's the case. I'm hoping anyways.

Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
