All my FYE had today was 2 of the decepticon steelbooks. I gladly took one, I was afraid since I worked all day yesterday and didn't pre-order they wouldn't have any. My BB had a few Planet Terror steelbooks, so really lucked out today.

A blind buy for me, wanted to see it on the grand scale of the theater, but didn't get a chance. Didn't pre-order, called fye yesterday morning and had the clerk hold a copy of the autobots steelbook for me. He said they had 5 of each steelbook. When I went to pick it up at around 6pm, there was only 3 decepticon steelbooks left. Glad I called.
Also, went to CC to get the free hat, so I'll probably just return that one.

You can still catch it on Imax or some of the cheap dollar theatres. It was still playing the regular theatres just a few weeks ago.
It's a flimsy movie and I'd love to see it on Imax, but my hubby said I spent on enough on this franchise already. ^-^

I bought the wal-mart 2 disc set and the hd dvd. But when i opened the wal-mart set the beginnings dvd was open on the inside, no shrink wrap. Is this normal, for those of you that picked up this set?

XAGE, quick question!
I like the Walmart set (I thought that was the BB set, but never mind) are you going to open this set? I'm under the impression that the Walmart set comes with the exclusive book while the BB set just comes with the 2 small figures.

Well, being WalMart is the only store within a few miles that sales DVDs, and they did not have the HD-DVD(yet have had Knocked Up and We Are Marshall in week's past, go figure), so I couldn't resist myself and bought the 2 disc set. When I am able to get to BB, I'll be picking up the HD-DVD version. It's a good enough movie that I can stand buying 2 copies and spending $55 on.

I'd also like to add that after comparing the walmart, bb and target exclusives..bb's looked the cheesiest. I was out of bb in about 2 mins...I'm still surprised they were asking $30 for the set as well. Oh well so far i'm happy with my transforming case...if it breaks, i'm taking it back to target

btw: Does anyone know if i take back my receipt saying i was not given the $5 gift card if they'll honor that? I know it wasn't meant for the transforming case but since it rang up in the computer, i figured i'd give it a shot!
