Is Target shipping UPS or USPS?

The vhs box is cool and nostalgic - just defies shelf uniformity after getting rid of all the tapes. Hopefully a 'regular' packaging edition comes out at a lower price after the Target exclusive window expires.

Just got mine in the mail and was surprised Target spent money on shipping it in a big box (minus any bubble padding).

If they would do that with Steelbooks then my Batman & Harley Quinn release would have arrived in one piece!

Mine shipped with UPS to my local Post Office then my regular mail actually delivered it.

I got the usual "We're aware of the issue and looking into it," response.

I ordered "Stranger Things" and "Spiderman: Homecoming" at the same time and "ST" came boxed and "SM:H" came in an envelope.

Picked it up today, took me six returns to get a copy that had a disc 2 Blu-ray that didn't looked like it was handled by rabbit monkey.

6 returns is a little extreme, I'm sure it would have played fine.

I think it's beautiful. And it looks nice if you have a special place for Collectors Editions. If they give Season 2 a package like this it will be well worth it. Just a gorgeous job.

I'm OCD about having perfect discs. Also, no, I didn't want to go back 6 times but they all kept freezing 5 minutes of the first episode of disc 2.

Target have just shipped mine to the UK! Can't wait!

I do have a Netflix subscription, but now that there is a Blu-ray available, which I own, I really would hate to have to watch S1 on there

The discs play in my launch Xbox One. Maybe it's only the "S" model having the issue?

Edit: I spoke too soon. Disc one loaded just fine. Disc two won't load.

Mine was in the same big box, surrounded by those beanbag-sized bubble pads. Amazon should take lessons...

Rabbit monkey?

moreotter · 10-20-2017, 12:50 AM

5+ minutes of unskippable ads at the start of the disc. Cooool.

The packaging is gorgeous, though.

This is why we can't have nice things. Over react much.

Darev · 10-20-2017, 02:33 AM

My XBox One S won't play these things either

Not going to fish out my PS4 tonight.

Going by the post I saw about the 5 minutes of unskippable ads, I'm guessing that's the culprit.

Did a google search about similar issues and someone suggested turning off all network connections (again, for different discs). Something else I'm not going to try tonight.

Do Oppos defy the prohibition on skipping ahead?

NoirFan · 10-20-2017, 02:57 AM

Nope. As I noted, as long as you eject the first disc before it loads back to the main menu, you should be able to auto-resume the next time and thus bypass the opening commercials.
