What it is: This is a Buy one Get One 40% Off on t-shirts from the new Limited Release Nightmare Before Christmas collection.

Who It's For: People who like Nightmare before Christmas, people who like t-shirts, and people who like the Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion overlay.

Worthy of Note: These items are not regular Nightmare Before Christmas products. If you have been to Disneyland around the holidays then you may have noticed that some of the rides get special overlays. At Halloween, Space Mountain gets the Ghost Galaxy overlay and, around Christmas, the Haunted Mansion gets a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay.

If you haven't seen it, it's actually pretty cool. The Haunted Mansion gets a Nightmare Before Christmas storyline as well as most of the characters inserted into the ride in various places. The artwork being featured in this limited release, is specifically the overlay art from The Stretching Room.

What it Costs: Around $44.78 plus shipping and tax. The t-shirts included in this sale retail for $27.99 each so, if you buy one and get the second one for 40% off, you'll get a discount of $11.20, resulting in a total for both shirts of $44.78.

How to Get it: This sale is available by phone or online only. You don't need a promo code. The discount will be automatically taken.

Is it a "Good Deal": Whether or not something is a "good deal" has two sides: 1) whether it's a good price and 2) whether it's a good value.

To deal with the price issue, for me, $27.99 is a lot to spend on a t-shirt. Getting a second one for around $16.80 doesn't make it feel that much better. With this deal, the average per shirt is around $22.39, which is really pretty close to the full retail price for non-Limited Release shirts all over the Disney Store. If you're just looking to get a t-shirt, even Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt, there are better deals to be had.

Alternatively, we could compare this "Limited Release" with other recent limited release deals. In the YesterEars t-shirt release I discussed in this post, the t-shirts were also retailing for $27.99 but, the deal offered was only $48 for 2 or $69 for 3, meaning you would have had to have bought 3 t-shirts before the average cost of each shirt was as low as the shirts in this sale. On the other hand, the Pete's Dragon limited release tees I discussed here were on sale for 2 for $44, which is a slightly better deal than this sale. In comparison with those sales, this one seems pretty middle-of-the-road as far as deals go.

However, if you specifically love the Haunted Mansion overlay, this is your first, and possibly your only opportunity to buy t-shirts with this art. If you're a Disneyland regular, if the Haunted Mansion is your favorite ride, if you have special memories of riding this version at the holidays, these shirts may have art that is very special to you. In that case, given the limited nature of the stock, I would recommend jumping on this even though the monetary discount is not that great. For the person who really loves this art, the sale is more of a bonus than an actual reason to buy the shirt.

One More Thing: It should be noted that, in addition to t-shirts, there are also various art prints available online. However, those are NOT subject to the sale.
