Topic: Another DVD Care Package?

[addicted2dvd]

As I have already said... I have the following ordered through a trade with the store my friend works at...

                     

She told me that she will be sending my package out later today... and that she put some Yule time gifts in there for me. She said she believes she counted 7 titles for me. 1 of which is a combo pack... all Christmas titles. She also said she upgraded 2 of the above to combo packs as well.

Looking on Amazon it appears that the following is available in Combo packs...

- The Amazing Spider-Man
- Disney's A Christmas Carol
- The Search for Santa Paws
- Wanderlust

I wonder which of the 2 above 4 titles I got a combo pack upgrade for! And I wonder what 7 other Christmas movies I have on the way! Oh the torture!

My friend gave me some clues to the combo packs... and I found out that...

 My friend that takes care of my trades with the store she works at made a little mistake in my package. She accidentally sent me NCIS: Season 7 instead of the season 9 set I requested.  She shipped me the correct title on her way home from work today... plus she said...

"And to make up for your disappointment I have included a surprise addition to your collection."

And for a clue to that surprise she said...

"The title goes from a to z."

I just sent in a guess of Alcatraz: The Complete Series. but I haven't heard back yet.

A friend is sending me...

- 1 Sandra Bullock Movie

She has access to my online collection... so she easily knows what I already have or don't have. Not much of clues to go on... but I am trying! 

This one should be easy since you own almost every one of her movies. 

[addicted2dvd]

That is what I thought too... but you wouldn't believe how hard of a time I had trying to figure it out... still haven't gotten it.

She gave me a bonus clue for it too....

"You would not appreciate Sandra's co-star's other job."

Can anyone here help?

[Tom]

"You would not appreciate Sandra's co-star's other job."
