Stranger Things: Season 1 (2016) (Target Exclusive)

[bookcase]

I don't think this will be in short supply -- my Target had a lot, plus another cardboard box on the floor with more. I don't normally go for oversized cases, but this packaging feels substantial and the eye to detail is superb. On top of that, the show is awesome!

Region free and only English subs? Weird.

[gerdsen]

Can anyone confirm if its playable in Region B players ?

[Sy-Klone]

I’ll also add that I’m relieved that the packaging has some heft. I was afraid it’d be one of those flimsy folded-up cardboard digipacks with a slipcover over it, but this has some weight. It feels about like the weight of an old school VHS tape - not the cheap thin plastic ones toward the end of VHS, the ones from the early days of VHS, heavy for their size.

As packaging goes, it’s very, very cool.

I can't wait until someone can pop this in and compare it to the 4K Netflix stream. I'd love to know how it stacks up.

When y'all say "plenty of copies" does that mean I'm fine waiting until after work this afternoon, or should I make the trip during lunch?

Region codes usually have to do with either staggered releases or rights holders, and not really aimed at the importing market.

There was a full shelf of them when I was there, probably 30 copies. I have no idea if they had more in the back. You're *probably* safe waiting until after work, but if this is something you want really badly and you have the time, why NOT grab it at lunch? There's no accounting for the herd mentality of people when there's a rush on something.

Thanks! Yeah, I'll probably end up going at lunchtime anyway just to be safe. It's just annoying driving back here and having my parking spot taken and having to go to the lowest level of the parking garage hahah. Right now I've got a spot on the first floor, right by the door..

Would that even be a contest?

Potentially.

[PowellPressburger]

Anyone have any luck finding any mech in store like the Barb mugs?

No luck at my Plymouth MN target on merch ... that is I didn’t find any mugs, throws, or even shirts!

FWIW, the South Lamar location had what looked to be 30-40 copies. You should be fine.

[MifuneFan]

It should be noted that the actual discs don't have ABC logos on them like the stock pic did. I'm sure it is region free though.

[BizCat]

Can't wait to get my copy. Ordered one online.

[deckard99]

Checked online this morning and it's available for order by mail! It was showing as out of stock at my two closest Targets, but I took a chance and went to the nearest one anyway and arrived just as an employee was stacking the shelves. I counted 21 copies in total. Looks great in hand. Got mine and hopefully there will be plenty for others on the board who want them.

[BigPudge]

My store, that generally sells out of stuff super quick due to 1 specific ebayer who I have run into on numerous occasions... but they had a ton!

This will definitely be a black Friday deal! But I'm glad i got mine... and i think black Friday will fall in with the 90 days target return, so we shall see.

I did wake up early for this BMF! Better safe than sorry... I like the heft of the package, definitely reminds me of old school VHS tapes!

Sadly my store didnt have any Spider-Man Homecoming 3D... I have a red card so i wanted to get it there, but instead I will grab it from Best Buy when i pick up my preordered the steelbook and Batman Two Face Steel!

I spend too much money on this crap!!

[Croweyes1121]

Can we all just stop and appreciate how fun it is to run to the actual freaking STORE today and grab a copy of a new release and see PLENTY of copies on the shelf? Makes me feel all giddy like when I used to stand outside of Best Buy at 9:55am about 10 years ago. lol

[Petey Parker]

It's starting to show up as In stock at some stores on the website. I was just able to do in-store pick-up for a store by me. It's right next to Best Buy which I have to go to anyway tonight so I can swing by there as well. Unfortunately my shipping order has prepared to ship so it looks like I'll be returning that copy once it arrives.
