Is Target not selling the 3D with the slipcover? Was shocked today to go in the store and saw no slipcovers on any of them

I got my Target 3D exclusive with slipcover

I'm not so sure about that. TASM was a much bigger movie than Underworld Awakening. Although it's possible that more could be out, but I highly doubt it.

I read somewhere that there was an error in Best Buy's price, so Amazon's price match is based on Best Buy's error! They could change their price any moment .

Can anyone confirm if the box set with figures comes with a sealed copy of the 3D set inside or if it is open in there. I saw an unboxing video on youtube that looked like it was, but I just wanted some individual confirmation. Also is it missing the UPC code on it and says something like Not For Resale instead since it was part of a bundle? I just placed an order for this and I am hoping it is sealed so I can sell off this extra copy on ebay easier.

Edit: Thanks for the answer to my question.

I had already picked up the Walmart Exclusive 2D set and the Target exclusive 3D set, so I absolutely do not need an extra copy of this, but that Spiderman figure looks pretty awesome. I know some people were complaining about the wider vortex case and in general about all the packaging discussion taking place, but those were some of the more impressive aspects of this release (without even discussing the awesome Steelbook that Best Buy carried). I was very impressed with both the 2D set and the 3D set. For starters both came with slipcovers and there was unique artwork for the both 2D (embossed) & 3D sets (lenticular). My only issue was the the 2D slipcover was extremely tight, but that was easily remedied by swapping out another old Vortex 4-disc case (that can now hold both standard Blu-ray discs and both of my store exclusive discs). There was even artwork inside the blu-ray case cover, which most studios stopped doing a long time ago. They correctly used a separate bonus features disc instead of cramming everything onto one disc. I also loved that all the discs had artwork on them and even the 2D set had unique disc art for all 3 discs compared to the 3D set discs (2D Blu+Features Blu+DVD) even though all the content was the same. Overall this was an incredibly impressive release. This felt like a premium quality product across the board and I wish Disney would get back to their Blu-ray releases being on the same level packaging wise.

Ya it comes sealed

The slipcover for the 2D version is so snug that I can't get the case out without tearing the slip.

[NotoriousReignz]

Anyone order the 2D set from Amazon and not get a slip?

[JRC2010]

I order the 2D set from amazon and didn't get a slip. Not a big deal to me but would had been cool if included.

[TheAnimeLegend]

That sucks. You think they would do that with all of them would have slipcovers. I wonder why some of the blu-rays that Amazon has have slips and others ones don't.

[20053436]

I bought both Target and Walmart versions:
Target's bonus dvd: a hero will rise, approximately 17 mins, and Target has both 3D (5-disc) and 2D (4-disc) versions.
Walmart's bonus dvd: enter the lizard, approximately 20 mins, seems like Walmart only has 2D (4-disc) version.
that's it...

i cant give this transfer a perfect 5 it might just be me but i think the pq is too soft and dark,ive played both 2D and 3D and feel the same in both situations,at first i thought my tv was acting weird but went back to some of my demo blus (rango and 127 hours) and did not notice anything out of the ordinary with those two,would like some more opinions

It does look somewhat dark to me, but hey, I didn't see the film in theaters... but I see the trailers for the Blu-ray release on TV right now and they look WAY different.

Is anybody interested in trading their Walmart Bonus Disc for my Target Bonus Disc? I'll even pay for your shipping costs.

it always happen. you pay a premium to get it early. almost all new releases drop in price within the first week

[FilmEntertainment]

Wasn't going to buy it but since I started collecting steelbooks I bought it this past Saturday. Closest Best Buy in my area is around 20 min. which I drove in hoping to still find TASM steelbook. When I entered I found the last 2 steelbooks and bought one.
Sadly Disney's Brave cases were sold out which I was going to pre-order it, glad I pre-order it online.

Hence me being upset since i paid to get it early or on release day and i got it 45 minutes ago because they delayed my order. Only to see 3 days later the price drops 15 bucks.
