I picked up all four of these a week ago, but waited to open them till I was able to PM the $24.99 in this weeks' ad. I assumed these were just repackages of the individual releases to clear stock, and I was right, but they aren't just the releases thrown in a slipbox! Here are what mine contained... I'm guessing there may be many combinations out there!

Legend of the Guardians / Hugo
Legend had just two discs, the BD and the 3D, but no DVD. The UPC matches the database entry here, which lists 3 discs.
Hugo had the BD, 3D and DVD discs, but had the cover art and UPC for the 2 disc re-release. No DC sheet however. Also, one of the tray clips was broken.

Clash / Wrath of the Titans
Clash only contained the BD and 3D discs, no DVD, but has the same UPC as the 3 disc version listed in the database.
Wrath was the full 3 disc version and included the DC sheet.

Journey to the a Center of the Earth / Journey 2
Journey was the same 1 disc release. Case was cracked and pushed through the cover art (two copies!) and tore both of them. Might get it exchanged.
Journey 2 had the BD and 3D discs, but no DVD; UPC matches the 3 disc release. The case has extra tall hubs for stacking, so could have held the DVD.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 / Part 2
Part 1 only had the BD, 3D and BD features discs, but no DVD; the case was thin and only had 1 flip tray and a hub on the inside back, so could not have held 4 discs. The printed UPC was the Best Buy exclusive, but had a UPC sticker on the shrink wrap that matches the wide release. Broken flip tray clip.
Part 2 had all four discs in a wider case with 2 flip trays. Again, the printed UPC was the Best Buy exclusive, but had a UPC sticker on the shrink wrap that matches the wide release.

So in each case, at least one of the two releases in the slipbox was an oddball that doesn't match any of the database entries here. Of course, WB could have issued later pressings without DVD's, etc, and no one noticed or made entries for them. It is definite these are store returns that have been re-shrink wrapped in some cases and then packaged in the new slipbox. It would be interesting to see what other people get inside!
