I got a shipping notice on the 11th (i.e. day it was released) but the tracking number on USPS still says "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item "    Posted:   Mar 14, 2022 - 7:50 PM     By:   WhoDat   (Member) Received a shipping email, or received the album? Sorry, received the shipping notice.    Posted:   Mar 14, 2022 - 8:04 PM     By:   .   (Member) There's also a bundle for those ones who haven't the first one yet: https://www.varesesarabande.com/products/how-to-train-your-dragon-cd-club-bundle-2-2cd https://intl.varesesarabande.com/products/how-to-train-your-dragon-cd-club-bundle-2-2cd So people who already bought and supported the release of the first one and who also plan to buy the new one are penalized? While people who didn't bother to buy the first one until now get a nice fat saving as a reward? Hilarious!    Posted:   Mar 14, 2022 - 8:11 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) So people who already bought and supported the release of the first one are penalized? While people who didn't bother get a nice fat saving as a reward for not buying until now? Hilarious! Oh stop. Just stop. Unsold merchandise goes on sale pretty much constantly. You're smart, you know that. La-La-Land is now offering their Naked Gun three-disc set for $20 (people who supported that when it first came out spent $35). Intrada reduced their '80s "Twilight Zone" set by $10 just six months after it came out. We could go on and on. And of course, this is true of merchandise across the board – any big Blu-Ray set that comes out is available for half the initial price within a year. Is this all penalizing early supporters, and equally hilarious?    Posted:   Mar 14, 2022 - 11:14 PM     By:   .   (Member) Unsold merchandise goes on sale pretty much constantly.

Is this all penalizing early supporters, and equally hilarious? That's NOT what is happening here. They are not offering Train Your Dragon 1 at a lower price in the way you indicate above. If someone wants to buy only Train Your Dragon 1, it is available only at its full price. They are offering a sale on the price of BOTH items together. The offer says you get the COMBINED value of 49.96 for only 36.96. Individual prices aren't mentioned in the offer. Therefore the saving relates equally to both the new release AND the previous one. That's what is says. If the offer was just a reduction on Train Your Dragon 1, the offer could read something like "Buy Train Your Dragon 2 and get 50% off Train Your Dragon 1". That's straightforward. But they've worded their offer specifically to give the impression that by buying the two (49.96) you get savings on BOTH items. Which, I'd say is clumsy as it gives some buyers the impression the new CD is available cheaper for those who never bought TY1, rather than those like themselves who did. Most people won't care of course, the same way they don't see a difference between one supermarket price saying "50% OFF" and another saying "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE". But there is a difference. One outsells the other every time.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 5:12 AM     By:   TerraEpon   (Member) Most people won't care of course, the same way they don't see a difference between one supermarket price saying "50% OFF" and another saying "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE". Because there is no difference. 'How it's presented' is just marketing. In the end, money spend for the goods obtained remains the same.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 7:47 AM     By:   .   (Member) Most people won't care of course, the same way they don't see a difference between one supermarket price saying "50% OFF" and another saying "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE". Because there is no difference. 'How it's presented' is just marketing. In the end, money spend for the goods obtained remains the same. There most certainly is a difference. If a consumer buys a $10 item at 50% off, that consumer leaves the store having spent $5. If the offer is Buy One, Get One Free, the consumer has spent $10 in the store. That's double the trading activity. And double the movement of inventory. Choosing the right one for a supermarket promotional offer could mean tens of thousands more units leaving the shelf, which is better for both the supermarket and the manufacturer/supplier. A marketing/promotions employee who says there's no difference should be fired on the spot.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 10:05 AM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) They are offering a sale on the price of BOTH items together.

That's what is says. What? It very clearly says if you buy both, you will pay $36.98 instead of $49.96 for the pair. I don't know what's deceptive about that. Why in the world would anyone care which of these discs is discounted? How is that even relevant? Besides, your initial complaint was that "people who didn't bother to buy the first one until now get a nice fat saving as a reward," which is a completely separate matter.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 10:32 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I immediately purchased HTTYD 1expanded when it came out and I immediately purchased HTTYD 2 and Iron Giant expanded. These are must haves for me while working within a budget. No regrets. On the other hand I sometimes hold off on purchasing a title hoping it will eventually drop in price. It all balances out in the end.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 10:44 AM     By:   .   (Member) What? It very clearly says if you buy both, you will pay $36.98 instead of $49.96 for the pair.

Thanks for explaining.    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 4:18 PM     By:   igger6   (Member) Not to interrupt, but...how much new material are we talking on HTTYD2? I love these scores, but I had the impression that there wasn't much noteworthy new stuff on the first expansion. Am I wrong about that, and how does this one stack up?    Posted:   Mar 15, 2022 - 8:44 PM     By:   General Kael   (Member) I don't know, but it's 81% sold out in half a week, so I wouldn't be weighing those pros and cons too long.    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 7:48 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I don't know, but it's 81% sold out in half a week, so I wouldn't be weighing those pros and cons too long. How do you know that? Seems unlikely 2000 units of anything would move that fast nowadays.    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 7:50 AM     By:   henry   (Member) Solium, I'm happy for you, I know you were wanting this one!    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 8:12 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) Based on the love for HTTYD 1 I have chosen it to play (courtesy of my free TIDAL streaming subscription). Presently on track 22 (from 42) ... I think I'll bail out. I doubt I'll buy either score. I have no knowledge of the films but my better-half tells me the novels were/are very popular.    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 1:31 PM     By:   Coco314   (Member) Based on the love for HTTYD 1 I have chosen it to play (courtesy of my free TIDAL streaming subscription).

Well of course to each his ownn. I happen to love Powell's melodic talent, but his style is not for everyone. If tracks like "Romantic Flight", "Test Drive", "This is Berk" or "Forbidden Friendship" do not make you raise any hair, these scores are probably not for you indeed.    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 2:02 PM     By:   General Kael   (Member) dp    Posted:   Mar 16, 2022 - 2:03 PM     By:   General Kael   (Member) I don't know, but it's 81% sold out in half a week, so I wouldn't be weighing those pros and cons too long.

General, respectfully, His Majesty may have a point. The shopping cart trick may reveal how much stock they have on hand – say they made 1,000 copies in their initial pressing – and not represent the full allowable stock.    Posted:   Mar 17, 2022 - 7:35 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I don't know, but it's 81% sold out in half a week, so I wouldn't be weighing those pros and cons too long.
