We’ve noted over the past several months a number of WWE DVDs going out-of-print in the United States. Two more titles from 2005 are the next to join that list.
WWE: New Year’s Revolution (651191557110)
WWE: Tombstone: History Of The Undertaker (651191938872)
Lots of WDN readers have spotted the Buy 1 Get 1 Free WWE DVD and Blu-ray sale running at their local FYE stores. It can now be fully confirmed that various Anthology volumes are included in the sale and marked down to just $9.99 each!
Thanks to Joshua Lightfoot, Glenn Morris, and Lisa for the photos below.
Jordan F sent in this helpful report on his observations from the sale.
I have an update on the FYE sale. There is still no specified end date for the sale. Used/On-Sale DVDs are excluded from being BOGO. Not only are the Summerslam Anthology Sets $9.99, the Survivor Series Anthology, Royal Rumble Anthology & (probably, my FYE was out) the WrestleMania Anthology Sets are the same price.
I got: Triple H: Thy Kingdom Come, Best Of WWE At MSG, Money In The Bank Anthology, Goldberg: The Ultimate Collection, Summerslam Anthology Vol.1 & 4, Royal Rumble Vol.1, & Survivor Series Anthology Vol.1 for a total of about $77. I also noticed a markdown of some select $6.99 DVDs to $4.99 & a decrease in many Used WWE DVDs to a lower price than usual.
We recently reported of FYE’s plans to stock a store exclusive version of “The History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment” DVD with a poster included. Upon release of the DVD many were unable to find the exclusive but it has now begun to surface in stores.
Shout to Juan Munoz for sending along this pic of the poster.
Fellow WDN reader Steven T sends word of his eBay auction for the tricky to find 4 disc Roddy Piper DVD. Look here for the $14.99 auction if you’re missing this one from your collection.
The standard widely released DVD was a 3 disc set but this Circuit City exclusive in the United States also included a bonus disc with extra Piper’s Pit segments.
More cool stuff upcoming on eBay.com follows below. All four of these noteworthy and rare WWF/WWE DVD auctions are ending later today!
Hell in a Cell Kane Bust – $39.99
Judgment Day 2002 – $91.00
Survivor Series 2000 – $15.99
Chris Benoit Hard Knocks – $0.99
Does anyone here have the UK version of the survivor series anthology or royal rumble anthology that has the plastic case and not the cardboard one? I’ll pay top dollar for any of them.
All the UK versions of Survivor Series had plastic boxes and all the SummerSlam’s were digipak (and later reprinted in plastic cases). In fact Silver Vision never released a cardboard case, not even for the Kane DVD.
acually the released a new version of kane dvd with a standard dvd case and not the dumbass cardboard case
it just means no more copys are gonna be made so that means if u find a copy which at fye is all the time consitering the undertaker tombstone cause people trade and sell so u can pretty much find that one as far as new years revolution 05 O GOD only reason is for chamber match and i guess uncut commentary fetureing benoit would be only reaosn to keep it but eh i mean fye as far as sale goes i been finding vol 1 alot and vol 3 which is 88 to 92 and 98 to 92 i found vol 2 at one but only 1 copy 93 to 97 of summerslams i an talking about have not seen any rumble or survivor series so i keep a look out for those so yea if u find vols get them 10 bucks not bad sale 😀
Why do DVDs go out of print
Those Anthology Prices are a Sweet Steal
What causes a DVD to go out of print? Sales drop below a certain point? Just a certain amount of time? Why these two, and why now?
I would assume the main reason would be from a lack of demand. Most likely a certain amount of time would also factor into DVD’s going out of print. The Undertaker one is quite obvious as it’s demand would be very little due to there being multiple Undertaker DVD’s out there after this one. The NYR would be from both time and demand. There’s no point in printing DVD’s forever that just get overlapped by new releases.
Theres so many of Tombstone History of the Undertaker dvds in FYE
I just ordered the Tombstone History of the Undertaker for Christmas. Should I order another copy and keep it sealed since it’s out of print?
Yes. Please do that.
Its been in production for about 8 years, so there are more than enough copies around, so i highly doubt it will be rare.
That’s crazy! I just ordered the Tombstone History of the Undertaker dvd for Christmas. Should I get another copy of it and leave it sealed in case it becomes rare?
It’s unlikely to become rare, having been out so long. It just means no more will be produced going forward.
