I only saw the Spiderman films at Best Buy/Target. Just order them off Amazon. They split my order into two shipments but wrapped them toghter to prevent damage.

Awesome. I'll be ordering WOW through DMR next Wednesday and it should come with the slip just like my free Narnia.

You can add me to this list.

Somebody should start a poll...gold vs essentials :

The Essentials look nicer in person than pictures show IMO. My problem with the gold ones is that they seem to 'flake/scratch' fairly easily showing that blue-silver underneath.

Again, like the LOTR trilogy individuals, one spine per language (1 Eng, 1 French). The back covers are French as well, so all extras/specs are advertised underneath the unshrinkwrapped slipcovers. You can thank Alliance for these.

Kinda odd that these would be bilingual, the boxset is probably the only Alliance release I personally own without any French what so ever on the cover. But nice slips though.

I don't mind the Blu-Ray Essentials slips. Think I'll pick up-
-Air Force One
-Black Hawk Down
-Casino Royale (Easier to find than the 2 disc BD)
-Snatch
-Spider Man 1-3
-The Fifth Element

Skipping-
-Bad Boys (Have regular slip)
-Ghost Rider
-Hancock
-The Da Vinci Code

I have to say, as much as I like the blu-ray slipcover for Hulk VS, I think the DVD one is a touch better.
