To my chagrin, the tin was heavily dented at the bottom...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... this is a sad, sad day in the history of Disney...even sadder than the Country Bears leaving DL! I had noticed that the DVD was wrapped in heavy bubble wrap amongst local Minnesota newspaper but it still managed to get smooshed at the bottom. The top of the DVD has some dings and dents which could easily be pushed back into place, but the bottom took it really bad. Where's Billy Mays when I need him? Um, so is there a place I can take this to get it fixed properly? Or can I call Disney and have them send me a new one? Or are there any LPers out there who are going to throw their tins out anyway and would be willing to give me theirs instead? Oh yeah, the DVD and its case are fine.

I found that just taking a coin (I think I used a nickel because of the flat/sharp edge) and pushing on the tin from the inside while it's sitting on a soft surface (carpet, bed, etc) worked pretty well. A couple of the dents took several passes (do it like you're painting with a brush, not stabbing with a knife) to get out, but they all look reasonably decent now. Not perfect, but good enough (and a whole heck of a lot cheaper than the other alternatives). The tins are softer than they might appear at first glance.
