Stranger Things: Season 1 (2016) (Target Exclusive)

[PowellPressburger]

Since Netflix are releasing this on their own and not using studio distribution they are going to make a lot of money on this and Target is going to benefit also. Netflix just had to get these to Target distribution centers and let Target do the rest.

Smart move

Really dig the packaging. For me though, and I know I'm in the minority, I didn't love the show. It was just all right.

I hope online pre-orders will show up soon, I must get this.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

OH MY LANTA! I need it.

[Forneverland]

I AM SO EXCITED! Between 'Barry Lyndon', 'Spider-Man Homecoming', All 6 new Ghibli titles, and now this October 17th is going to be one heck of an expensive day!

[RodChester]

Totally unexpected. Especially since it’s coming straight from Netflix. There’s no way I won’t be able to pick up a copy.

[Forneverland]

I really appreciate how Target announced this less than 2 weeks before release date, really blindsiding everyone. I'm shaking, this has been my top release of 2016/2017 that I've been waiting for on Blu-ray. I cannot wait for this to go on pre-order, and I so hope this isn't someone trolling us.

Now there’s a great cover! That, the WOM, and a price point in the $20 range will push a lot of people to blind buy this one. And I’ll be one of them.

It's totally worth it, the show was fantastic! I mean, this was one of the best show's of the last few years quality wise, and I watch ALOT of shows.

I hope there's a standard release, not interested in VHS box packaging.

I'd purchase this if it were being sold in a paper sleeve.

[Forneverland]

I'm really interested in how this packaging is going to work, fitting 4 discs into a VHS sized box. It just seems really tight.

Dude! That is so awesome! From the packaging, to the price, to the super soon release! ST was by far my favorite show of last year (I liked it better than any movie last year for that matter), super glad such an awesome show is getting such any awesome release.

I give this news my super-rare "Tom Petty Award": "Oh, my my, oh hell yes".

It's probably a disc stacker type arrangement. Not good for keeping the discs scratch free.

Maybe other regions will get it in Amaray or Elite Blu cases if it is what I think it is.

It definitely led to a kind of buyer fervor. This last minute arrival approach will either help sell it like hot cakes by making people think it's such a limited "special event" item, or really, really hurt sales.
