Just found this, it's a Target online exclusive. It seems to be the same as Future shop.

Oh well, I guess I'll stick with Future Shop's. Not only I rather pick an item up and inspect it myself, but with shipping fees and everything from the US, it'd cost me more.
 
I wasn't planning to buy this one....

1. Any idea if it's going to be available in-store?
2. Can we return it in-store if it's damage?
3. Is it confirm G2? With bestbuy past release, it has been G1 since it's cheaper for them to produce them.

You can probably return it in a store, but you won't be able to swap it out as it's only being carried online according to the product listing. Looks G2 to me.

What? A US steelbook release? At Target no less. Awesome! :scat:

I love that they included the theatrical version in this extended edition.

Ordered :oohyeah:
 
Don't believe it. Anyway it's identical to the Futureshop one....

That doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I like this art over the DE, UK, etc. art, and now I don't have to import it from CA, so this rocks for me.

Reading a bit more into their language, they didn't claim only 500 are being made. They said only 500 are being allocated to those who pre-order them first. I would bet that these are coming form the same production pool as the ones that Future Shop is going to get, and that Target.com will fulfill up to 500 orders in the US.
 
do people really buy the claim that they're only making 500 of these?

If this is true and given the state of the US collectors on this site, this would have been OUT OF STOCK in no time :hilarious:

I know that. I was just sayin!!! I would pay $5 more for a steelbook if it were numbered in low amounts.

I truly believe some of us will pay TWICE the price if it was numbered in low amounts. Am I not correct here? :D
