Target (item not yet up on site)
This exclusive for the 2-disc special edition is a transforming DVD case that turns into Optimus Prime. It was previously leaked as coming to Australia but this is first time its comes out as a stateside exclusive. The one-disc edition comes with the first issue of the prequel comic. No MSRP but assuming its around $29.99.
Best Buy
As previously mentioned, this set for the 2-disc special edition will include two Robot Heroes figures made exclusively for Best Buy. The figures are movie Optimus Prime with strange arm and Cliffhanger (re-colored Bumblebee). MSRP is $29.99.
Wal-Mart
Their exclusive DVD is for the one disc set. Its labeled 2-Disc DVD set, but its not the same as the Special Edition version. The second disc in this set is an animated version of the IDW Transformers 4 part prequel comic for the movie that is narrated by Peter Cullen. The MSRP is $19.96 but might be on sale for less that first week. Thanks to Frank S. for the link.
Circuit City (no info yet on site)
Compared to the other stores, Circuit City's offering is rather anemic. Its a "Classified Digital Content Card" that provides free access to online content. I assume its for both editions but don't know for sure.
Sadly it doesn't look like the steel case is making a stateside appearance. Might be a good thing for me as I am not sure which to buy if given a choice between the steel case and the transforming case.
does anybody know how long the animated version will be?
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, the steelcase cover is going to be a FYE exclusive.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the details of the Wal-Mart Animated "Beginnings". Is it a true cartoon/animation, or is it pretty much just the stills from the comic with P Cullen reading the captions? If it is actually a true cartoon adaptation, it would be much more appealling to me than a bunch of Director's Commentary and How-We-Did-Its. Anybody know? Hopefully there will be a review of that disk put out before I go to buy my copy on the 16th. So that I may get the copy that offers me the most entertainment. The Target set is kinda cool, but would offer about 15 extra seconds of fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat if it was a transforming steeel case
ReplyDeletethe metal case would be cool where do i buy it at
ReplyDeletedude it's cliffjumper :D
ReplyDeleteawww when will my country get all these...
Hmm, the Movie RH Optimus looks like it's the same mold as the one which came with Blackout, but with a different paint job. I'm thinking maybe it's a "supermetal finish" like the Decepticon Sneak Attack G1 version.
