While the Feb. 26 Blu-ray release of Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet came with its fair share of promotional exclusives, retailers offered the same types of exclusives with the new “Signature Collection” Blu-ray of The Little Mermaid that arrived the same day.
Target offered the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray combo packs of both Ralph Breaks the Internet and The Little Mermaid with “filmmaker gallery and storybook” packaging for $32.99 each. The standard 4K editions were offered at $29.99 each.
Best Buy offered Steelbook editions for each 4K Blu-ray, at $34.99 each.
In conjunction with the release of the films, Best Buy ran a promotion touting Disney animated classics on Blu-ray for $19.99 each and on DVD for $14.99.
The Disney Store gave away an exclusive set of four lithographs with preorders of the Ralph Blu-ray, as well as a coupon for $10 off a $40 purchase through March 10. Likewise, preorders of the Little Mermaid Blu-ray came with a lithograph set of concept art from that film.
The promotions for both films coming out the same day tie in to a cameo by the Disney Princesses in the Wreck-It Ralph sequel, including Ariel of The Little Mermaid.
Speaking of preorders, Target is promoting its future exclusive for the new-to-theaters How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, which will be offered as a Blu-ray/DVD/Digital combo pack with wearable dragon wings for $27.99.
Other deals for the week at Best Buy included a $34.99 Steelbook for the Captain America: The First Avenger 4K Blu-ray, and a Blu-ray boxed set of the first seven seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” for $99.90 (a savings of $73.09).
