Wal-Mart is selling it for 199.99.

The forthcoming Bob Dylan box set just dropped by $25..Maybe the same will happen with MIC...

[lostbeachboy]

Try the canadian amazon site. It was cheaper there.

Still is cheaper - when converted into US Dollars the price is $110. But saying that the box is definitely $145 *supports* peoples position that Capitol and The Beach Boys are trying to forcibly rape us.

And for the fourth time, it will be cheaper at importCDs.com

http://www.importcds.com/music/2617315/the-beach-boys-made-in-california

$104.99

Ok. I started a thread for the SMiLE box when that came out, so will do the same now. Hope someone can save some $ using it.


The beach boys and raping us... NEVER!

Importcds.com is not to be trusted.  They just proved that with their Harry Nilsson debacle last month.

[Rich Panteluk]

Alright, I'll bite...
What Nilsson debacle?
On a related note I ordered two of the 17 disc Nilsson box sets from Amazon.ca and have been informed that they won'y arrive till early Sept...

Gotta bring back that creepy smiley face to knock the price down.

If you click the link  and look under product details, there's a part that you click on that says tell us about a lower price and you can include any link to any web site that has MIC at a lower price and eventually Amazon will lower their price based on this feedback.

Clicking on the above is going to cost me $90! I have just seen on the same page a link to 'Live at the Academy Of Music' set by The Band being released Sept.

Gee....Thanks!

I don't think they guarantee to price-match though…

[pixletwin]

I have submitted a price report. Hope that helps get the price down a bit.

[ArchStanton]

What is or was the import CDs debacle? I've ordered from them through their Amazon store and have never had a problem (including the Smile Sessions as they had it for around $100), but I've never pre-ordered from them before. Right now I have it pre-ordered there as well as Amazon and I'm not sure which one I will stick with...

[RonBaker2003]

I have NEVER had a problem ordering from importcds...and I've ordered plenty from them.  PopMarket, however, is a different story.  I ordered the Van Cliburn set in March and it still has not arrived.

[Eric Aniversario]

How much does import cds charge for shipping?

$4.99 in the states.

Good to hear. I think I'm going to cancel my Amazon order and give it a whirl. Thanks!

If this is the price discussion thread, I'd like to add


ITS TOO DAMN HIGH

ImportCDs set their price for the Harry box about $70 less than every other US store.  They therefore got pre-orders a plenty.  But they didn't get enough in and people who preordered are still waiting for their sets, which are on backorder, and the set came out 9 days ago.

[Wrightfan]

So it has finally happened here in NA...Best Buy is cheaper then Amazon:

Wake up Amazon.

[Micha]

2 weeks before the release date MIC finally showed up on Amazon Germany. I was getting kind of Phil Cohenish, I must say! It's 80 Euros, that's US$106.89 at the moment.

Delivery date: August 23

(For that grin I'll probably be punished with a heavy delivery delay! )

[Emdeeh]

So, when do prices tend to drop on Amazon -- a week before, etc.?

[donald]

My habit is to go to best buy actual retail outlet on release days.  Prices have ranged from very good to fair on new releases IMO.

did I read there were 6 discs in the set?  And how many cuts?

[anazgnos]

Maybe somebody else can clarify, but the way I think importCDs works is sort of like a speculator - their apparent deep discounts on pre-order stuff like this is contingent on them getting a certain number of pre-orders, being able to negotiate a certain price with the distributor, or the expectation of wholesale prices being cut closer to to the sale date.  In other words there is no guarantee they will actually fulfill any orders and they aren't selling product that is actually in hand - they're trying to leverage advance sales into future wholesale orders, or something.  I don't know what the specific situation was with the Nilsson box set but I'm guessing they had a crazy price on it, and then nobody ended up getting anything from them.  They're using prices on things like this primarily to entice people into ordering other stuff that they do actually have.

I'd be really surprised if the Amazon price didn't come down.

[pixletwin]

I decided to order this through amazon.ge today for $99 shipped. I reckon I can enjoy torrent downloads of this while I wait for it to arrive. $50 savings is too good to pass up.
