New lenticulars + new releases
Just some new covers before the Tuesday rush...
Jingle All the Way (Family Fun Edition)
Hollow Man (Director's Cut)
New lenticular reissues...
The Fog
Wrong Turn
Phantasm 4
With most of the Stanley Kubrick catalog getting the double disc treatment tomorrow ("Clockwork", "Shining", "Full Metal", etc), we could be seeing a ton of new sc's or just a few predictable ones ("Meet the Robinsons", etc)

Slipcovers for 10/23/07
Hey all,
Here's what I've seen so far today:
Meet the Robinsons
Hostel: Director's Cut
Hostel Part II
Saw III: Director's Cut
From what I've been gathering, the Kubrick Special Editions do not come with slipcovers. Granted, I only saw a couple of them today and they were hidden behind other DVDs. The Best Buy I visited really had no fanfare behind the release. I'll hit a few more stores on the way home to confirm.
johnsun, thanks for the pix! Those clear covers look awesome! Were those the only titles available or were there more hidden behind others?
Thanks again!

EDIT: Okay. I'm having no luck finding the Kubrick DVDs. I struck out at the Best Buy and Target on the way home. I'm assuming they did come with slicovers (per Frenzal's above comment) so if anyone can shoot me a list of the Kubrick releases and if ALL of them came with covers, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Therefor, the remaining 4 S.K. movies all have slipcovers and belong on the list (i also posted some new lenticulars, random releases earlier for the list) and i have seen them at Best Buy (since Trevor has seen them at Target, WM, etc...i'm assuming not a BB exclusive)..
are all 2-disc Special Editions with slipcovers. Here are pics of the 4 above with the slipcovers as i've seen them in Best Buy (personally, i want the box set so here we go again with being torn between my s.c. obsession and getting the most material for your buck...curse you "Masters of Horror").

Clear Covers re: Johnsun
I agree about those clear covers....awesome!! Has anybody seen them on the East coast? If so, where?
Also, Johnsun. I need a new Corpse Bride WS copy. I've been holding out hoping to find one with a slipcover.
Could i send you Paypal cash (or a check) and have you pick one up for me? You can add on shipping, wrapping, time spent charges, whatever you want.
Just let me know. Or if you have any slipcovers you need, i've got quite a collection i could throw in some as well as cash. I really would love that clear cover Corpse Bride (if it's Widscreen).....please let me know. Thanks..

Hey SnapOnTool, I sent you an email..
Just to avoid any confusion, I'm in Canada and Zeller's is an Canadian chain store, so don't bother looking for the store itself the US, but I thought these DVD and clear slipcovers might show up in other US retailers..
When I first looked through the Corpe's Bride DVD, I thought it was weird that all the slipcovers where over sized.. When I checked the other DVDs, I noticed they were snapper cases, so the slipcovers were made to accommodate snappers and normal amaray cases are a bit too small..
Just wondering, has there been slipcovers for snapper cases before?

Thanks for the email John, i just replied. Now for clarification. What are snappers? I know the amaray case as the standard (at least in the US), symmetrical, plastic holder which opens down the middle like a book. Are snappers the format that Warner Brothers uses where the DVD closes on the left side with a bar that "snaps" over the thinner cardboard cover while the DVD is in a plastic holder on the right that looks like half an amaray? The aramays look like this which i got from a DVD Amaray Dealer. Am i close or does "snapper" mean something completely different? Thanks again, John.

I saw Tales From the Crypt: Franchise Collection on the list. Does anyone know if that was a sleeve for a single disc case with both movies on one disc, or was it a sleeve for 2 DVDs packaged together like the 2 Garfield movies are? Thanks!

I saw a Pixar Shorts Collection at Walmart yesterday that had a sleeve. It's listed on Amazon, so I don't believe it's an exclusive, but I had never even heard of it until I saw it.
Does anyone have the Tales From The Crypt Franchise Collection(Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood)? It's on the list but I've just never seen it with a sleeve. I was just wondering if it was an actual single case sleeve or if it was 2 DVDs held together by a large sleeve.
