Has anyone seen any of these still in stores? The SKU for I am Legend doesn't work anymore. I went to 3 different BB and didn't find any of these

My local BB store moved the movies/music section to the back of the store and none of these "exclusives" are out on the shelves. Definitely seems like BB got on several studios' bad side and decided not to bother any more. Too bad.

Been to several BBYs recently and they have all pulled stock of this wave. BBY seems to be rotating stock of SteelBooks regularly no matter if they actually sell out or not. Dunno if its contract related or internal stock related, but we can;'t expect SteelBooks to stay on shelves until they sell out anymore. Give the SKU a month and that's it, at least is what it looks like.

Yea I noticed that with the previous WB wave as well as I missed goodfellas and gran torino from that wave. Some of them they work back on the shelves if they don't have any copies of that movie but if they have a regular amray they disappear.

$14.14 each, all taxes included, that's a cool price - btw, I'll never get used to this American thing of showing a price ($12.99) and then adding a 8-9% tax to it : why not incorporate that tax in the price? To let people think they buy something 'cheaper' until the moment they're checking out? Is it a way for stores to let people know "oh, it's not us you're paying here, it's for the governement"? For people who pay by cash, it can be pretty annoying... I guess Americans are used to that but it still bugs me, as I can't come up with the exact amount of money needed before it's my turn to pay (I like to have the money ready, it saves some time).

Rant over, sorry about that .

because in the United States each state has it's own taxes. What you're paying in NYC isn't what you're paying in LA. It's easier for a corporate entity to price it the same nation wide and than have each individual store charge their respective taxes.

I went in today to see if they had any by chance and talked to the guy who stocks the movie section. He said after Halloween they got a list to send back all the titles and a list to replace it with Christmas movies, so these are likely all gone from stores everywhere. He then showed me to a bin he thought there might be a chance they might have some in, it was a $7.99 bin and I must have seen 50 the Dark Knight Rises steelbooks in there but it was the only steelbook I saw in there, so I picked up the Wizard of Oz with my rewards coupons as that was the last one they had in the store.
