is it just me or is the 1st movie rare as heck??? i mean i looked at 4 or 5 stores that didn't have it! the only way i'm getting a copy is by getting it at amozon.com!
and even the it dosent have any extra stuff on it. but i don't care i just Reeaallyy want that movie!

Yeah, the movies are very difficult to find in stores, sadly... I don't know if this happened anywhere else, but last time I was in a video rental store 2-3 years ago the Balto movies were GONE. I don't mean rented out, I mean the movies were gone from where they normally were. Either they got rid of the movies, or someone purchased them.

Where I live...its really common. I mean, the stores have a hard time getting rid of them. Everytime I look around, I see a copy of Balto somewhere.

I'm live in Japan. Balto1 DVD is very rare also in Japan.
Used DVD is sold by 5 times the price in Amazon because it is not sold with the new article.
It might be a cause that the number that circulates to the market because it has not newly produced DVD any longer has disappeared.
May it is the same reason as this.

How about ebey?

Same for me. Except along with LBT and AT with it in a pack, my Wal*Mart has all three films in a pack.
I had the third already on DVD, so had to buy the first and second separately [both about $5 as well and were also found at Wal*Mart].
...wish they'd come out with DVD packs of the AT and LBT series. Need to replace the VHSs of those now.

A good place to find the Balto films I hear are "Goodwill"s and the like.
Could try there if you haven't already, and keep going back to check for they do restock.

^ Most likely. I haven't actually seen it there to my memory. I've only been there a handful of times myself.

So if you're lucky enough to find it there and have a working tape player yet, you're good.

YAY!! the movie just came in the mail yesterday and i loved seeing it agin
anyways i am going to stick around but i'm going to try to look in the movie to see if theres another topic to start .
