Not sure, I just saw them out and my curious self looked at them buuuuuut... I have the German Steelbook of the complete set so I didn't bother to price check them. Sorry.

If I swing by the store again, I'll check.

Does it bother anyone but me that these Studios can't seem to look past the same damn movies over and over for these exclusive packaging?

I'm in awe that those Best Buy Pop Art Steels even existed considering the titles they released.

Paramount can't stop re-releasing the same damn movies in various metal/steel cases and it's becoming a bit comical.

Yes, I know the Indie Films haven't had any versions of new packaging yet but this could have easily had been a spring board to introduce new films with this unique packaging.

neoz · 01-08-2015, 05:54 PM

They might be in store only. I am trying to get the DPCI but so far now dice.

beingjoelmalkovich · 01-09-2015, 11:35 PM

Has anyone seen anymore of these in store yet? I too would like to pick up Super 8 but it is freezing ojt and I am meh on the whole driving to Target for nothing idea. Lazy ha

wolfpackTri · 01-10-2015, 12:11 AM

I don't think they come out until January 18th. The Targets in my area don't have them yet

iscmarkiemark · 01-10-2015, 05:30 AM

I really want to see what the Saving Private Ryan book looks like. Any pics of the list? Or will they look just the like the German ones shown.
?

Probably like the German one.

And don't do it Rick. I'm sure you'll come back sad.

Bruisermoore · 01-10-2015, 08:17 PM

I've checked two Target stores around me in the last two days and haven't found these (I'm looking for other members, I hate metalpaks :P) and I even asked employees if they had any in the back and they looked and said no (not that that really means much, since they probably don't exactly know what they're looking for).

Irrelevant, but why is jscoggins suspended? He's one the top contributors here on bluray.com with that "Blu-ray Knight" status. Was quite a bit shocked to see him suspended...

Everyone can make mistakes. No one is an untouchable. I am sure there is a justifiable reason for it.

I'm sure jscoggins will be back soon enough, and continue to deliver all the great, and reliable, information.
But this has nothing to do with the thread topic. If you really want to know you can PM a Mod, as they would have more information.

With that said, do I brave the extreme cold, on the chance, my Target has these out?
Currently I'm at:

98.6% No
0.4% Yes
1% Undecided
(somebody check my math to ensure I'm at 100)

Because old habits die hard.

I might pick some of these out. Been out of the game, but these look to bring me back a bit.
