Another big week for exclusives. I think It's a safe bet to try and get to best buy/target early this tuesday. I'm not taking any chances, like the 300 gift set.

Blockbuster is doing a decent one for once. It's limited supply however. Anyone that buys either version of Transformers gets a free MP3 player. But, like I said, supplies are pretty limited (my store only has 8) so if you want it you'll have to hit it early.

^ does the mp3 player transform?
for those not reading the other transformers threads. FYE/TWEC has the consensus transformers exclusive. which is the 2-disc set in steelbook. and you can reserve it now for $3-deposit.
when i went to preorder i got the feeling that they're just selling unlimited preorders. and there are rumors that these are very limited. so i'll be sure to get there early on tuesday.

Transformers exclusive disc at Wal-Mart
Has anyone heard if the "Beginings" prequel DVD that's supposed to be coming out with Transformers on Tuesday going to be bundled with the 2-disc deluxe edition or is it going to be only with the single disc movie-only edition?
Also, has anyone heard anything about the quality of the Beginings DVD disc itself. I know it has Peter Cullen doing the voice, but has anyone heard anything beyond that. I'd hate to shell out the $$$ for it only to find that the bonus disc is anything like that excrutiatingly lame Story of Star Wars bonus DVD that came out with Revenge of the Sith a while back.

With regards to Giant Eagle.....
Last night I was at a Giant Eagle supermarket in northeast Ohio and noticed that they had both 'Alien' and 'Aliens' 2-disc Collector's Editions (from 2003) -- for only $5.98 a piece! They have several other good deals there too - for another week or so. Most seem horror related. Hopefully someone gets a chance to purchase these, in the rare event they don't have them.
I had purchased the Target 'Alien Triple Pack' which was on sale for around $14 a few months ago.

OK, in case anyone's interested, the Transformers: Beginnings bonus disc in the gift pack at wal-mart isn't all that great (I just watched it) Peter Cullen has maybe three lines and that's it, so those of you wanting more Optimus Prime are SOL. Beyond that, the disc is basically a decently-edited, pseudo-animated version of the prequel comic that IDW put out before the movie's release. It's really nothing more that a flashy presentation of the comic book's panels along with some fairly good voiceover and sound effects work. All in all, I probably won't hang on to mine forever, and if I'd had a better idea of this "bonus" disc's content, I probably would have passed...
ah well, live and learn...

Did anyone pick up the exclusive transformers figure at best buy (I think it was bumblebee in the ad)
Of all the exclusives today, The Transformers figure was probably the least of my worries and never did I think that would be the toughest to snag. Both best buy's I went too told me that they only received about 15 and they all went like hotcake's. Did I miss something limited about these things.
Yet, I can count at least 80 silver surfer figures between the two stores.
