I just found out two stores in my district have them in stock. Unfortunately neither are close to me.

I wish my local store had them in store. The closes one is 25mi away, per way. Each trip costs $8 in gas alone.

I'm going to check tomorrow, but right now all their promo sidekicks in the movies sections are for Lion King, Fast Five and Star Wars.

none in my local best buy. i'll try next week.

Hey all, here's the official word on these cases.

The release date for these is October 2nd. The boxes are marked not to put these out now though all stores should have them by now. They also to extremely limited, since unless there are more shipments, each store was only allocated six.

Great to finally see a picture. I will be at BB first thing when they open. Looks sweet! I wonder if the inside artwork looks like the UK, and if the back has artwork. Betting it does.

Also, looking at the picture again, it looks like the title and skull on the title may be embossed. I hope so!

Just went in the POTCOST thread, and someone has it and posted pictures. It does have the same inside artwork as the UK, it has artwork on the back and is embossed or debossed. Looks super fantastic! Link below guys.

Unfortunately I don't own them so I can't compare.

Went to 3 different Bestbuys in my area to see if I get lucky........zero. And I also mean all the BB employees that I spoke to got ZERO ideas...which really doesn't surprise me.

Which is understandable. The case won't be released for two more weeks.

Can I ask how you know this? (Not condemning you here shinsei; just don't want to start a panic. I would've thought the numbers would've been about the same as Lion King, but I'm just speculating.)

Looked all over at my Best Buy today with no luck. (Have one ordered for in-store pickup.)

I've checked stock at all stores in my district. It's possible that there are more shipments coming, though in the past these cases have always been one shipment of 20. This time it seems to be one shipment of 6.

OrlandoEastwood · 09-25-2011, 04:38 AM

I was told October 2nd when I went tonight.
