Took advantage of Amazon's Ponyo sale.
On Order
The Cat Returns
Ponyo Two-Disk set with plush Ponyo
Forgot to mention I got my order last Saturday. The plush Ponyo is very cute. The odd thing the "The Cat Returns" had a Tower Records price sticker on it. I had no idea that Amazon bought out store inventories when they went under.
That probably wasn't the case. All major B&M retailers conduct media sendbacks from time to time, and pull older product from their shelves that is not moving. This product is then returned to the movie studios, warehouses, and VMIs who then redistribute it to other retailers. They usually make sure to take off the old price tags, but not always.
We've actually gotten several boxes of movies at work with old Target or Walmart tags on them.
