Super cheap box set of war movies

Spen (Competent) posted this on Saturday, 27th December 2003, 18:42

Just been to WH Smith`s in the Trafford Centre and picked up a boxset of five DVD`s for only £14.99.
Contains Apocalypse Now Redux, Platoon, We were soldiers, Black Hawk Down (2disc) and Saving Private Ryan.
Lots left on the shelves......
Seems a good deal to me.
I suppose it may also be available online, but I`ve not checked.
Happy New Year everyone!

I can`t see a link to it on their web site either.
It`s a WH Smith exclusive though, `cos it`s got their logo printed on the slip case.
The box set is titled "Amazing War Movies".
You could try your local store I suppose.
The customer relations department phone number is printed on the slip case. It`s 0870 444 6444.
The bar code number is 0 000030 136359.
Don`t know what else I can tell you.
Good luck - hope you get a copy.

Picked up the war movies boxset at WHSmiths Worthing - priced at £29.99, scanned at £14.99. Had just been given We Were Soldiers for crimbo so returned that for a refund of £7.99 = 4 films effectively cost me £7!

Mugumsy.... wasn`t it you who said in your infamous `bargain` Pirates of The Carribean post "I suggest you channel your thoughts and energies in a manner that is more beneficial to others, or keep them to yourself!!!" ??? Mmm. Somewhat hypocritical methinks.

This is a forum for bargains! (that exist). The reported headline in this case seems like a bargain. Wish they had them in my Smiths but sadly not.
