I stand corrected. I was unaware any such service existed at Target. This could be a step forward in evolution if Target was given the proper feedback, and chose to expand on this. Assuming Target would eventually adopt Best Buy's business practices on this matter.

But then again On the flip side of that coin, in some instances all the copies would then be OOS due to an abundance of in store pick up orders, which is pretty much the situation at all my local Best Buy locations.

Yeah, I have found that they are open to receiving feedback in some cases, but not all. Anything to do with the website is almost a second thought, probably going back to the days when Amazon ran their storefront for them.

They really move at a glacial speed when anything online is concerned.

It is nice and glossy. My store only had 3 on the shelf, and I asked if they had more they said that was it

 

[hypeboy3]

Just got mine for 21.64. I asked how many they had left and was told 30. But they couldn't tell me why it wasn't showing up online

 

[Ask]

Work has me occupied until 1:30. Hoping to be able to find one then. Definitely checking all the ninja updates and will let you guys know how the search goes this afternoon

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Getting the Futureshop one but I don't want to wait for it to get here so I went by Target on the way to work and snagged a copy of this version. They had a ton of them.

Didn't seem like any shortages of these at my Target not going to be a rare one.

Sometimes you never know like I was in Best Buy yesterday they still had 1 unbroken steelbook, 1 hobbit trilogy steelbook and like 10 Mockingjay steelbooks but zero Five Armies steelbooks.

I just got off a chat from Target.com. They did a one time exeption for price matching. Apparently they go by the order date, not the release date. Here is a copy of the conversation

Nash:Thanks for waiting. I appreciate your patience.

Richard:NP

Nash:Richard, let me go ahead and process $20 price matching refund on this order as one time exception.

Richard:thank you

Nash:You're welcome.

Nash:Richard, I have successfully processed price matching discount on this order.

Richard:thank you also what did you mean by as one time exception.

Nash:You will receive this refund back to your original mode of payment within 7 to 10 business days.

Nash:Richard, since this item should available for online purchase to process discount price matching discount on this order.

Nash:I see that this item is not sold through online.

Richard:but why should that matter

Richard:you dont price match on your own website?

Nash:Yes, we do but the item should be available in stock for online purchase.

Richard:so if you sell out, the person that bought it online does not get the price difference?

Nash:Target.com will price match with itself if you see a lower price listed on Target.com the same week or week following your online order date.

Nash:Richard, you don't have to worry about that I have already processed refund for this order.

Richard:OK, so you guys go by the order placed date, not the date you actually charge my CC

Nash:Yes, that's right.

Richard:so, from now on, I am better off not ordering anything online at Target.com. just go directly to the store?

Nash:Richard, prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.

Richard:thanks for your help Nash

Nash:You're welcome, Richard.

Nash:Can I help you with anything else?

My local Target only got 5 copies in today. Luckily, my roommate works there, in the electronics department no less. So he set one aside for me.

My film cell!

This Steelbook looks much better in hand than the pics make it look. Nice shine and gloss to it.

 

[lgans316]

Is this full gloss?

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Is this full gloss?

Yep

Stopped by and picked one up. Like others said there are plenty of copies of this one. My film cell was crap though. Looks like a really dark pic of an ipad or some kind of tablet. It reminds me of the Simpsons's episode where Bart buys the Itchy & Scratchy animation cell and gets a cell with a leg on it.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

My film cell is nearly identical to @jacobsever 's

@jacobsever what sore in Denver did you get yours at? I picked mine up at the one on Mississippi.

 

[lgans316]

Yep

Now I am tempted. Will have to grab this one as well.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

BTW Op needs to be updated. In store price this week is $19.99 which is an excellent price for this edition IMHO.

I got mine in Aurora, the store right off of 225.

Got my copy about 15 minutes ago. They only had 3 up front and about 5 in the movie section. Glad I was able to get one. Will go great with FS's exclusive!

That is almost the store I stopped at. Glad I went to the other one.

 

[Hella]

Not many copies in my local store, 6 total I believe by time I got there around quarter to 9, but judging by what everybody else is seeing, they probably have more in the back.

I haven't opened it yet, but my initial impression is positive, as has been said, a nice glossy sheen, and IMO superior art to the FS/Amaray.

 

[dfoles]

Didn't even have to go to the back. 3 nice copies right up front at the registers.
