I am guessing that the Blu-Ray does not have the blu-jewel case in the box set? I couldn't tell, I had the box set preordered...

Cancelled my Amazon order. I will hope that the WM edition has all of the material but none of the trinkets. If so, I'll be getting it there.

The guy at AVS who got it early at Walmart posted a bunch more pics today, and the "Walmart exclusive" sticker on the front of it lists a few of the special features that are located on the second (non-movie) Blu-ray Disc....
SO, chances are looking really good that the Walmart edition just contains the two BDs in a regular case....for $19.99, I know that's where I am heading Tuesday...

The Target Oz set is both BDs + the 6 hour MGM DVD Doc. It comes in a slip sleeve similar to Warners latest BD releases where it slides into the side (Supernatural, Fringe etc.). For $11 more I'll just gran the big box version.
Gremlins has been photographed though so its real.

I'm buying the Target edition. It's over-priced, for sure, but so are all these editions. I want all the discs and the space-saving version, and I love slip-cover cases so it'll look nice too.

Since my ideal version of The Wizard of Oz is discs 1-3 in a regular keepcase and Target seems to be the only retailer offering that, they'll be getting my money, even if it does seem a tad overpriced

I'm fairly sure I'll be buying the Target version if it is as described.
I also buy the idea that we are going to see a repeat of this in November with Gone with the Wind/Goonies.

From the sound of it, no -- it sounds like the 3-disc set packaged inside that enormous box, and it looks like this (click for a larger version):
(I spent all weekend doing nothing but diving into this set, and I'm hoping to have a review up tomorrow night. Going through eight pages of notes I wrote about the extras alone right now.)

i work electronics and we have Wizard of Oz in. It's the three disc set, two blu's plus the MGM documentary. The box is just a normal blu-ray case with a slipcase it slides into sideways. No pics unfortunately.

I 'think' the Target set is rumored to have the three discs of content, while the larger set has the Digital Copy and extra items. (Watch, Ticket ...)

Fun fact: The UCE is listed as $62.99 at Borders.com. It currently says "available online only" but a) that could just be because it hasn't been released yet and b) I've seen items that said that but were still available in certain stores.
So if you see it in store and you apply the printable 50% coupon you can get the UCE for $31.50

I have a question about Wizard of Oz. Its currently on TBS HD right now. Should i expect almost the same in the picture quality in the bluray as im seein on here? And do you think it will also have the "vertical letterbox" like the Casablanca bluray?

Of course it will be pillarboxed. I don't know about the TBS comparison though.
