Topic: ASTROPLUS Podium Summer 2006 Sale!

[Mr. Hankey]

more people have learned the art of sale dvds!!!  i'm sure may mga susunod pa sa ibang stores!

Expect one at the new Astrovision in V-Mall (formerly Virra Mall) in the very near future. 

[et414]

nakakainis nga na ang aga aga pa lang e wala ng stocks. ang mas nakakainis pa e pinipili ata nila ung pinapayagagn nila ipagreserve. pinadaan ko kasi gf ko this morning sa astroplus but when she got there out of stock na daw lahat and when she inquired kung pwedeng magpareserve for tomorrow in case na magrestock sila hndi daw pwede   if they are going to allow reservations, dapat maski sino pwede. or better yet dapat ipagbawal na talaga nila

sir firewired, dba napagusapan na dati na bawal na reservations sa astro pag sale?

[cymer]

Nagreplenish ng Batman Anthology!  Wooohooo!  As of 6pm, there were about 4 sets pang nakalabas... 

[hemisphere]

nice that everybody is having a good time getting their dvds at their best price.

actually, i am in favor of reserving dvds as long as the quantity would give big profits to the store. and second, the customer is a loyal or frequent buyer in that particular store. it's the discretion of the store whether to implement or not to implement this policy and practice.

after all, it's all about the money and reserving dvds does not violate any law.

Was also there around 10:10am. hehehe.  But when I got there, lahat daw ubos na.  hehehe.  nakakatawa.  couldn't believe it na at that early time, naubos na lahat especially the EPIII, FF4 and Troy. 

But when I browsed the shelves near the front door, I noticed two copies of EP III and it was still priced at P900.  I got one and there was another guy who saw me and took the other one.  I went to the counter to ask if it is also priced at P299 and they said that they thought all the stocks were gone already.  hahahaha.   

I looked around sa store and saw the reserved DVDs dun sa tabi ng cashier. Meron isa pang counter dun for the music area ata.  Boxes and boxes were there with names on top!!!  Grabe!! Hoarding!!! 

Fortunately I was able to get most of the DVDs that I wanted except for the FF4 and Troy.

Yung EPIII around before noon, they took some copies out.  Together with Mr and Mrs Smith.  Syempre pinagkaguluhan and ubos agad.  Daming buwitre including me for the MR. and Mrs. Smith!!!  hehehe.

Si Matzer nga almost jumped when he was handed a copy of the FF4!!!  Yes!!!  THANK YOU!!!

cheers to everyone and nice to see familiar faces!!!

[ranran]

[ricky]

yon nga daw no reservations allowed pero halos wala na nice titles early this morning kasi lahat naka reserved na Pero bilib ako kasi si sir firewired hindi nya ginamit powers nya at hindi sya nagpareserved kaya pati sya naubusan Fair ka talaga sir,saludo ako syo.

Si matz hindi nga nagpareserve pero grabe naman magmakaawa kaya ayun nakuha nya titles na gusto nya

[Gideon]

Got there at 10:30, marami na talagang tao

Got the ff:

TITANIC - P550
Mr n Mrs Smith - P299
Man on Fire - P299

Yung Fantastic Four, Star Wars 3, ubos na raw pero nagkakalabasan pa pag may dumating na sales lady. 

Ano ba yan, talagang palakasan sa reservations. 

Next time pa-reserve na lang ako, para di na ako magkukumahog sa pag punta ng umaga. Sayang lang effort talaga!

[blitzkrieg]

blitz got the last Batman Anthology boxed set, so I had to settle for the individual slip-cased ones instead. Not bad, but I lost Php 200 in the process.

Too bad bro. Had you waited around 10 minutes, you would have jumped for joy to see stocks being replenished. Actually I was talking over my celfone at the counter when a guy  across me with around 10 boxes started putting barcode stickers on the newly arrived stocks prompting me to replace my already paid copy with a better one since mine had creases all over. Sayang!! But on my way out, the alarm blared since the one I got was not de-barcoded. Kahiya. Akala tuloy ng guard nag-shoplift ako hahaha!!

The moral of the story is don't leave yet and wait a bit..Just don't get too excited like I was hehe..

I guess you, me, and that other guy were the only ones who got ep3 who didn't reserve. Nasabihan din ako na wala na until I saw 3 copies near the front door, same as you.

Pero buti naman, they released some of the reserved copies for the people who were already there.

[ronjet]

lucky you guys got Robots, this title was out of stock when i arrived 11am.  

sir ranran, if you are still interested, i saw some copies of robots yesterday at astro glorietta also tagged at 299 din.

I'm the other guy after Morph. I pointed it out to Firewired but sadly last copy na yun hawak ko. He was able to get Mr. and Mrs. Smith though.

[daigoro]

Was able to go around 8pm, not that many people as before but it seems that most people were there earlier. Anyway, got my reservations Mr. & Mrs. Smith, BAS Season 3 and Clockwork orange but no Star Wars EP. 3 
Also got Cinderella, War of the Worlds (2 disc), Ben Hur (4 disc), Wizard of Oz Sp edition and Madagascar.

How much is Ben Hur (4 disc)?

[darth mond]

P1,000 yata Schindler's List.

Thanks Sir Blu-Ray.  Mahal pa din pala. I've been thinking of getting this title for previous Astro sale a but the price tag gets me down eh. You can get 3 DVDs na for PHP1,000.00 pero pag di napigilan later swipe na lang ulit heheheh...Seems that almost everyone was on leave yesterday to go DVD shopping a. I was planning din kaso pinili ko na lang Monday since Academy Awards.

[daigoro]

Ben Hur (4 disc) is 1000

[MAtZTER]

Si matz hindi nga nagpareserve pero grabe naman magmakaawa kaya ayun nakuha nya titles na gusto nya

Di naman puro makaawa, may charm din involved. 

Thanks to the members who gave up their extra copy for me  .

[tenchi76]

ano po ang number sa astroplus podium?

[espi]

i was there last nyt and got the ff:

batman anthology
war of the worlds 2 disc
ice age extreme cool ed.
indiana jones boxset

yung batman anthology 2 copies yung natitira nung pumunta ako. kinuha ko yung isa. then i walked around. pagbalik ko dun sa area wala na din yung isa! hahaha!

may nakita din ako godfather boxset. kaso 4-disc lang ba talaga to? di ba may 5-disc pa?

sayang naman ep3 and mr. and mrs. smith...di pa nagbubukas ang store ubos na agad.

[keating]

I went there last night around 7 pm. Wala na kami inabutan Star Wars Ep. 3. For P299, that was a good catch already. I was able to get ROAD TO PERDITION & MAD DOG AND GLORY.

[Mr. Hankey]

Too bad bro. Had you waited around 10 minutes, you would have jumped for joy to see stocks (of Batman Anthology) being replenished.

Argh! I actually did wait around half an hour longer than I expected, since when I got there, there weren't even stocks of Batman Returns. I just picked up all four titles when the salesgirl replenished that one, my favorite in the series.

1.  TOP GUN 2-disc
2.  FANTASTIC FOUR

[firewired]

Went back to check out the weekend crowd and see if I could luck into a copy of Episode 3 and FF 4. Nothing really new unfortunately. One of the Astro girls said that the crowds were pretty thin compared to previous sale weekends.

Was able to pickup the following at Php299:
- FF 4! (someone reserved but didn't pick it up last night, so when I asked for it, they handed it over)
- Predator 2 (2-disc SE)
- Kronk's New Groove
- Ice Princess

And from the budget DVD-5 pile:
- A couple of Bob the Builder discs at Php199 each
- Earthsea, Php199 (2-disc)
- Hotel, Php150 (a Mike Figgis film)

[seph1018]

Oh man that sale day yesterday was hectic. Like most of the people here, I wasn't able to get SW Ep.III. So I settled for the other DVDs in my list. Just got a few DVDs...which I already finished watching last night 'til the wee hours of the morning.  The only title on my "must buy" list I wasn't able to get was Angela's Ashes. :'( I already knew that Podium had only 1 copy left. Thinking that nobody would be interested in that title, medjo ngpalate ako. Haaaaaay.... Sino kaya dito nakakuha?
