My Target must have had at least 30 steels and I looked through every single one to find the perfect copy. I didn't love this movie when I saw it in theaters but now that my expectations are in check I'm gonna give it another shot. I just can't pass up a beautiful steelbook.

Ok so after just receiving my steel today which I was so excited for guess what? It's damaged. I'm so mad I've gotta call Target to get this replaced but my ocd is not handling the terrible paint job. There's a streak down the front that I can't describe & a chip up top which I could live with had the streak not been there. Not sure if the picture will show how crappy this streak looks it literally goes down the from the top of the U to the bottom it's kinda distorted the writing.

Wow, I had to go to the electronics department and got help from 2 different employees to track a copy down.. He came out with the "last three steels" from the back (I think they were stashing them!!). It was my lunch hour and I lucked out

Blind buy but my girl wanted it!

I'm not sure if I want to blind buy this now or risk it and wait for a price drop. A few of the exclusives of other movies are still around at my store. For example, just yesterday I saw quite a few 22 Jump Street steelbooks



Edit- I just saw that the steel has a different dcpi than the regular so would that have an impact if there is a price drop on the regular version?

Was at 2 LA area Targets and they each had 20 copies between 10 and Noon so they were well-stocked.

Yep I tried to get 22 Jump Street a couple of weeks ago when the price dropped on the regular and they wouldn't do it

I think my two Tucson stores can be put on the list of Arizona stores that didn't get them shipped to the store. It would be one thing if it was Guardians of the Galaxy and there weren't any left within 3 hours of the store opening cause that was a mega blockbuster, but Lucy was "ok" and it wasn't a major hit. Also, my Targets don't sell out of exclusives as fast as my Best Buys do. My main Target still has "Target exclusives", like Transformers: Age of Extinction, 22 Jump Street, some of the recent Paramount wave of metalpaks, Django Unchained, the X-Men metalpacks, etc. It is just weird cause my Target never sells out fast of "Target exclusives". The only ones that can be troublesome to get are the animated DC film steelbooks cause my Targets only get like three copies. I wonder if Targets in Arizona get the Lucy steelbooks next week if they will honor the $19.99 price cause it will be $24.99 on Sunday.
I highly doubt they sold out. When I went this morning, they werent on the shelves yet. I found a stocking cart with a box of them. I'd go back tomorrow.

Help me out, that one flew over my head. See what I did there? Are you referring to how hard she makes your steel? Or what a good price this was?

This was a blind buy for me. The wife picked it up for me and we watched this evening. It's far better, I believe than many have made it out to be. Lots of science and theory going on. Scarlett is very easy on the eyes and can carry a film. The premise is what's important here, and the possibility of going beyond the 10°/• brain capacity we're lead to believe guides us.
