USA Best retail exclusive release

I was just curious what people considered to be the best (unique packaging, comprehensive special features, etc.) retail exclusive release?

The Watchmen Collector's Edition was pretty snazzy.

Regarding content: The Best Buy exclusive for M:I Ghost Protocol added an incredible amount of special features compared to the wide release. The same could be applied to Target's Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 exclusive.

Packaging: I personally loved Target's Sound of Music Digibook (original). The Best Buy District 9 vest slipcover was cool too (still trying to find it).

Looking at my collection.....

Arrow Season 2: Best Exclusive Lenticular
X-Men Days of Future Past: Best Buy Sentinal Head

But I bet Futureshop and other stores have some hotter packages.

I think the best packaging was the Avengers light up box.

I'm not sure myself but at the top of my head, the best of each of the big three retailers are:

The Dark Knight Rises Lenticular Digibook (Target Exclusive)
Guardians of the Galaxy Steelbook (Best Buy Exclusive)
Interstellar Neopack (Walmart Exclusive)

This is purely based on packaging.

The extras on the set were amazing. Totally worth tracking down if you don't want the standard set.

For packaging alone, I'd pick the Amazon exclusive of "Titanic", or the WB Shop "Inception" briefcase.

Mine would have to be the Best Buy Zombieland Nut Up or Shut Up exclusive. I enjoy having an extra bonus disc of content and the slight variation in cover art makes the set. Also, it was a treasure hunt to find that on release day, too. Went to at least five Best Buys and only found one copy, which was all I needed of course.

Amazon has had a number of really nice exclusives. I'd rate this one high and their Star Trek one looks sweet too. I also quite like X-Men The Adamantium Collection
