I'm fine with either cover for Salt, but it should be a combo pack here as well. Maybe there will an exclusive for it like Target is having for The A-Team, and maybe with a slipcover so this post isn't completely off topic.

Any cover pictures of the HTTYD slip? We've only really gotten side pics so far.

I thought that the US version was not getting a slipcover? Didn't someone post that they got it early and it did not have a slip?

Right, it's not. My comment about a slipcover was wishful thinking if there is a combo pack exclusive.

"Maybe there will an exclusive for it like Target is having for The A-Team, and maybe with a slipcover"

I hope we do.

"Leap Year" and "Shrek Forever After" from Amazon and "Austin Powers" from Barnes & Noble. For "Inception" I managed to PM the BB exclusive to Target's $17.99 price with no problems at all. It was $19.21 out the door, woot!

Did you get in on that B&N deal for Austin Powers?

That's the only one I'm missing now unless they continue to do them till Christmas time.

Anyone that can find me one PM please as I don't think my 2 local Target's carry it thank you.

Very nice haul BTW Andria.

Andria just picked it up for me btw.

I inquired about it at Target and the Manager really put me over the edge today. (Mind you I didn't have a great day to begin with so I was being a jerk also which was my fault, then again, she had an tough luck attitude so I really don't feel bad about it)

Basically, the female manager at the WB Target's attitude is she doesn't care if you buy all the exclusives if you are the first in the door, nor will she help you get an item you are looking for if it's not on the shelf. She flat out refused to hold a copy of this for me if they got more in. I was told it's on-order, call the store everyday and ask, and when I asked if I was better off looking on Ebay she said probably.

Would a normal CS rep get away with telling customers you can't help them and go somewhere else?

Doesn't sound right. They need to be more helpful.

I tried to cancel the Restrepo order from AMZ but it was too late. Since there's no slip, I could have probably waited till the price dropped or something.

Hey all, good news... I found the Mater's Tall Tales holo slip today after hunting at four stores! I have both versions and have photos to show the differences. I'm also posting a new hot deal for this but posting here first for my slip friends:

Mater's Tall Tales is $10 at Best Buy with 10% and $8 DMR coupon. Got two copies for $19 total tonight.

Details: The slips are SKUs are the same, but the holo slip had a large UPC sticker over the factory one whereas all plain copies of the slip did not. The red color all over the slip is a darker shade on the holo version. Only the middle section, Disney PIXAR logo, front middle is holo. The rear of the slip is a shiny red including the disc silhouettes, though no holo/rainbow effect.

Inside there are no differences to be found except the holo slip version had a square shreddable security tag whereas the plain slip had a rectangular tag. Notice how Mater's color is duller on the holo slip.

As much as that green Shrek case looks awesome, I just can't pull myself to buying it. I got the Inception Blu today and the slip looks great!

Congrats, shin! So in your hunting, you found the holo version to be harder to find, correct?

What are they trying to pull here? Different slipcovers? Holo versions? Ridiculous

Zero_Cool · 12-09-2010, 02:02 AM

I picked up Inception today at target. Why not for $17.99

. I am not a fan of the slip. Still happy to get it.
