1st target = Epic f'n FAIL

2nd target = had 2 copies. One was gauged and the salesman tried to tell me it was ok. Prick. I found a decent copy. Opened it as I was walking out. And an a-hole manager saw me put the packaging in my pocket and asked what I was doing, what was in my pocket. I pulled out the packaging and and showed him there was nothing in my pocket.

Then this prick tried to snatch the Steelbook out of my hand!

I pulled our my receipt and showed him. He tried to grab it but I stuck it in my pocket and walked away. Gunna go complain now.

So, in other words, I didn't find my perfect copy & today is just not my day...

Very nice steel tho. Awesome. Best DC yet. Full gloss.

Here's a tip hope it helps

I got my copy after making them check in back to see if they had anymore copies they didn't put out.Keep in mind that the regular version and steelbook have the same UPC so stores you go to could still have it just sitting in receiving binned into a location in the back thinking its a regular copy after they scan it.
 
Each target apparently received only 3-5 copies of this, making it that much more hard to track down at stores.

I was just lucky to get one for me and another for a buddy. If I went in after lunch or work then it could've been gone already.

Yeah the girl at my Target knows me :D and she often knows that I come in and take 5-10 copies of SBs regularly. I guess this wasn't meant to be haha

My Store had 5 copies. But they ONLY had the steelbook version available, no Reg with Slip. So i could see this going fast.
 
Very limited. Only 3 copies were available at the time I was there at one location.

They were in those hard security cases which I HATE! The steel book was so tight in it.
 
Just went to 2 Targets. First one had none. I figured they might be up front with the new releases but nope. Second one looked empty too, but they did have 3 copies up front with the new releases.
 
SON OF A B....BATMAN! No lie...this thing was hard to find today...went to 4 Targets in my area and the last one finally had two copies...and just one in the back in electronics...the other was hiding up front by the check-out lanes. My copy = pristine. Also double dipped and picked-up the figurine version from Best Buy.

Target here in Richmond Canada only had 5 copies and in those stupid security case. Took te employees some trouble getting it out cuz it was super tight.
 
I am fed up with target. I am up to 'here' with oblivious target employees. Just ordered online. X3, hope at least one or two are cherry.

This Basterd of Batman edition is surprisingly amazing, which makes it worse that I can't find my perfect copies....will return and chipped dinged or damaged. Zero tolerance for b.s these day let me talk to ur supervisor, Bit!
 
I'm surprised how few of copies that are available. Only Target I visited in a remote area had 5 copies. Of course since the DPCIs are the same#s, it shows like 14 in stock, only 5 were steelbooks. Seems to be much more scarce than the DKR steels.
