Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen [Blu-Ray] - $19.99 @ Amazon & Walmart [IMAX Ed]

[minimafiaaj]

just wondering if anyone has seen any deals for this? doesn't come out for a while but been looking around.

[Thedrknss48]

If you buy an extra large pizza at papa john's, you'll get a coupon for $3 off DVD or BD. Not the best deal, but the only one I know of so far.

Otherwise, you'd at least get a greasy box with Optimus on the cover.

lol which isn't too bad. ha do you know if amazon will honor the coupon?

[xbox_mole]

Not unless Amazon makes a special promotion with an online code for the coupon.

They don't take manufacturer's coupons.

[Thedrknss48]

I don't have a coupon myself since I rarely order a pizza over 14.99. This wouldn't be a deal for me since I'd be getting the pizza for the coupon and it actually be cheaper to just buy the BD.

Anyway, I think the coupon is one that is scanned at the register, so there probably isn't a code.

[minimafiaaj]

hm aite thanks for the info guys.

[mtxbass1]

Check your local Walmart on release. Mine had an ad out today that the blu-ray was going to be $19.96.

is walmart going to honor this coupon on the $19.96 deal?

[robdees]

I saw the same walmart ad- $19.96. Saved it for price matching at BB since I kinda refuse to go into my local walmarts.

[minimafiaaj]

what is this walmart ad you speak of?

[SakBee]

For what it's worth, I stopped by my local FYE yesterday just to glance on what they have, and I saw posters for Transformers saying that they have an exclusive steelbook case.

I didn't get anymore info on it, unfortunately, but just thought I'd mention it.

[mtxbass1]

what is this walmart ad you speak of?

It was a flier I received in my local mail. I get one every other week or so from Walmart.

[mtxbass1]

$19.96.

[jacknicklson]

Wal-Mart is apparently the only retailer getting the version with the extra IMAX content so that might make people's decisions for them

2 versions listed on their website

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=12342058

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=12534009

[guyver2077]

im guessing the 19.96 version wont be the one with IMAX content..

and WTF.. why is that exclusive to Walmart?

[hungryheepo]

omg. i preorderd mine at amazon but if i can get it at wally world for a few bucks cheaper ill take it. honestly friends, who really watches the extra content? but at the same time it will all look awesome on my new bravia 46" ^_^

[minimafiaaj]

yeah ima look for that ad. hopefully i get it in the mail soon lol

[minimafiaaj]

im seeing 3 diff versions

[SuperJedi]

Waiting for Target/Best Buy ads/info! Those two (now with Circuit City gone) are the two BEST Electronics stores!

And, may give away Exclusive Bonuses...

Fye have Steelcase for Blu-ray? Cool

[shadowrage]

im guessing the 19.96 version wont be the one with IMAX content..

and WTF.. why is that exclusive to Walmart?
It says Big Screen Edition - I would think that means IMAX aspect ratio.

[styl3s]

walmart = my buy for the imax footage

the steelbooks are cool but 6-12 months down the road ill beable to get one half the price the retail stores sold them for like i did with every steelbook i own that minus the very rare ones like the grindhouse ones, i remember when the i am legend steelbook and dark knight steelbooks were going for outrageous prices, got both for 10 on the amazon user store :)

[mediviper]

Best deal thus far, Best Buy in the first 2 hours of being open will have it for 21.99 plus if you use that Papa Johns coupon that brings it down to 18.99 (this is on Blu ray.) or 10 bucks on dvd using the papa johns coupon.

How is that better than Wal-Mart @ $19.9X - $3 coupon?

The Big Screen Edition on Blu-Ray appeared in the Wal-Mart Oct 4 - 10 ad from what I can see in other posts and was listed as $19.9X.

Anyone by chance have a scan of this coupon/know if a scan would work? I don't even know where a Papa John's is near me.

The extra content would be during the movie as in specific scenes would be extended to fill the IMAX format. They did that with the Dark Knight BD, the IMAX scenes fills the entire HDTV and then it goes back to the standard widescreen for hte non IMAX scenes.

[minimafiaaj]

i wonder if the 19.99 one will be much diff then the other one that is more.

Because that is listed as 23.xx on the Walmart website and my local wal mart does not put out ads for me to view any possible sales. My humblest aplologies to everyone whos time was wasted reading my post.

No worries. I probably misread things. Hasnt been the best of days. However back to topic, does anyone know if FYE is still doing mail in rebates? I am wondering if it would be worth it to purchase from there. (Unfortunately, they dont mention rebates on their site)

[bryan78]

Fye have Steelcase for Blu-ray? Cool
If I'm not mistaken, the FYE steelbook is DVD not Blu-Ray. On their site, they have it listed under DVD.

[Techsticles]

Can someone please scan and post the $3 off coupon? Appreciate it.

[token2k6]

IF SOMEONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME LEARN HOW TO ATTACH AN IMAGE, I WILL DO IT!!

sorry to shout, had the scan ready since 9am ya'll!! just point me in the right direction for a free file hosting site that will work good. I'm happy to do it, as I would have liked to not have eaten 5 pcs of pizza yesterday...and just got it off here.

[Techsticles]

Goto imageshack.com and upload the picture, then post a link to the picture here. :D

[token2k6]

thanks Techsticles!! :D

hope this was ok quality, scanned as a photo at 300dpi, when prompted to choose higher resolution, i said to stick to regular or small. If you guys think you need the front, let me know...

EDIT: also if a mod wants to add this to the sticky coupon thread, that is fine with me, please do!!

[Techsticles]

Awesome, thanks token2k6

[KansasFF]

So you guys think if we print that coupon off they will honor it?

EDIT: I guess it says on the coupon it is fraud. Sigh.

Well don't go getting mad at me! I didn't read the fine print!! but in this day of people being able to scan coupons or PM prices from their cell phones, I think it's worth a shot to print it out and try...that Proposal coupon, was after all a printout, maybe stores are numb to that sort of thing now.

[minimafiaaj]

hmm i wonder if my best buy is dumb enough to take this...

[Zmonkay]

Just tell the store you got it in your email. I had a coupon for TF figures that was scanned from a burgerking (or maybe mcdonalds) bag. Had like 5 on me at any given time cuz they got you 5 off 19.99 or more on TFs. Cashier didn't even blink. If it scans, it's "legal tender". And if it doesn't, I've had cashiers overide it so it does, haha.

[ajh2298]

How do you get the coupon to print on one page, it keeps getting cut in half and ends up printing on two pages.

This is the first time i see this "IMAX" bonus version. Why it's even a exclusive is really odd.:-#

The alternative black cover is pretty cool do,lol

[darthdan]

Does anyone know how much the BD will cost if it is purchased in the Walmart store? I saw an older ad scan that says it will cost $19.96 but the website lists it for $23.32. An ad for this week hasn't been posted for my area.

[Zmonkay]

I just went to print preview, and chose to print in landscape mode. Printed fine longways on a sheet of paper. I then cut it out, and folded it in half along the "line" in the scan, so it looks less like a scan that way. We'll see if it works.

my guess would be 19.96 if you buy it in there. 23 if u order online

New ad doesn't come out for Wal-Mart until the 25th. If you have a copy of the old ad, they SHOULD honor the price no matter what price they will have it for in store.

[minimafiaaj]

i just saw amazon has this for $19.99 i might get that instead of the walmart one

[mhnajjar]

Is that really an iMax version? Would it make a difference at home on any of my big screens?

[LinkinPrime]

If you've seen The Dark Knight on :br:, it will be basically the same thing. Full widescreen throughout the IMAX scenes, black bars on top and bottom throughout the rest of the film.

[guyver2077]

why would anyone not want the superior walmart version? nice amazon price right now but ofcourse i rather buy at walmart

[Justin42]

Isn't the IMAX footage only an extra minute or two? While I'd like to get the "best" version, I prefer to not give Walmart any extra money... :/ (not to mention having to drive the opposite direction from work to go to Walmart to pick it up)

[LinkinPrime]

I got my Papa John's coupon ready...going to have to make a trip to Wal-Mart tomorrow :puke:.

[jjjbadboy32]

This showed up in my "quick picks" on amazon for 18.99 with no tax and free shipping. I picked it up.

[Frankzilla04]

Just got back from Wally World. They had the IMAX blu-ray listed as the correct $19.99 sale price. Went up to the register and handed her the Papa John's coupon and told her I got in an email and she marked it down to $16.99 no problem. Here's some pictures for those interested.

the imax version? i don't care about packaging i care about quality and if it is the imax then :applause:

dark knight imax scenes were phenomenal on bluray, watching the imax T2 on bluray would just be breath taking visually

Ugh... just got back from my Walmart (2:30am PST). They only had the DVD version and said they never received the BluRay release.

I ended up leaving with a Leader Class Optimus Prime figure for $35. I figure it wasn't worth waiting for the Buster Prime version to drop in price/get released in America.

hmm my blu ray from walmart did NOT have that main cover.. it had the bumblebee one :|

[token2k6]

this wal-mart cover confusion is making me unhappy! don't know what to do now, wanted the Big Screen version, but Bumblebee cover is only ok...Plus, does anyone think it's strange that the slip cover does not say Big Screen Edition, it just says 2-Disc Special Edition...I guess all slip covers were made the same??

Also, what about Sam's Club? there is one closer to me than a Wal-Mart, and I believe that technically they should get in stock the same version as Wal-Mart. Do they take coupons? I can't find a link on the site, but I can't imagine they wouldn't be carrying it. Anyone know a price there?

[SakBee]

I stopped by Walmart this morning before work to pick up my copy.

My copy has a black slipcover with Optimus on it with a Walmart sticker that says: Only at Walmart- 2-Disc Big Screen Edition! with exclusive packaging- Over 3 hours of new bonus features-

According to other forums, the IMAX edition should have the Walmart Exclusive sticker that says Big Screen Edition

The upc code for my copy is: 032429075147

I hope this helps some of you guys!

[token2k6]

^^ Did they have tons of copies? I won't be able to make it until lunch...

[SakBee]

I saw at least 30 copies of the bluray IMAX version. I think there should be plenty for everybody who wants one.

If you look at the back of the slip cover in the first yellow writing it says Maximize your viewing experience with this Big Screen Edition. Also on the actual disc case it says it in a few places. Namely, the binding near the bottom, or the back right top corner by the Proof of Purchase UPC.

Mine also is the Bumble Bee cover on the case and the slip cover that others have described, not the one noted on the Walmart site.

My UPC is matching the posters I quoted. Pictures below from my cell phone.

If your Wal-Mart has self checkout (you can actually look this up on the store locator at warlmart.com), you can just scan it in yourself lol.

[ryosnk]

Is the big screen edition at walmart $20 or $24 like in the website?

Thanks.

[whoasaywhat]

Silly me. Why did I think that Wal-Mart would have the blu-ray version exclusive of the biggest movie of the summer on sale the day it comes out?

[Frankzilla04]

$19.99 in store.

[Justin42]

My local Walmart (Porter Ranch, CA) had the Bluray and DVD for $15.96!! That was a nice surprise when I got there this morning. They only had 5 copies of the Bluray out at opening (7am) and by the time the few people there got through, there were only 1-2 left. (one guy seemed to be waffling as to how many he wanted)

I didn't bother trying to pass the copy of the Papa John's coupon-- was tempted but it's pretty obviously against the official rules and $15.96 was a pretty awesome price as is.

[nightmare452]

Had to complain to Amazon on today's price drop to 19.99 for the Bluray version since I ordered it and mine's was at 24.99. Got an email with a refund for the $5 5 minutes later.

[SCOPEMAN87]

Went to my Walmart in Charlottesville, VA and picked up the BD big screen for $13.27. I was priced at $19.96. There was no signs for the sale, so might be YMMV.

Wow I live near porter ranch, I just called Wal-Mart to see if they still have more but unfortunately no. I don't really care much for the IMAX edition though but does anyone know if I can price match the 19.99 wal-mart offers at Best Buy?

As long as you have the ad, Best Buy and Target will PM, or you can order from Amazon, it's currently $19.99 there.

[sasuke543]

but wal-mart doesn't even have a weekly ad...or do they?

[token2k6]

just got back from a Wal-Mart here in Houston. Glad I asked about quantities! At first, the cardboard display was completely empty where the BD's were supposed to be, but tons of DVDs. Heart racing, I walked over to the aisle and found 6 copies on BD left! so I grabbed one. They all had the Bumblebee case cover, Prime slipcover and rang up at the $19.96 price. Coupon (original) worked flawlessly.

So what's up with this? is this edition, on BD at least, a limited run? Does Wal-Mart realize the $20 price tag is hurting them and not going to replenish until next week, at full price? Either way, I'm glad I got mine!!

[sasuke543]

Sorry I'm reposting again...but is there a wal-mart ad I can use to price match?

[Mugen Power]

My thanks go to the user who posted the coupon. It worked for me and the Walmart I went to had a few copies of the BD left. I was originally going to get the transforming case from Target to go with the one I have for the first movie but, in the end, I figured it wasn't worth all that extra money compared to Walmart's price + the coupon.

[LinkinPrime]

but wal-mart doesn't even have a weekly ad...or do they?

I've seen them here in SoCal, we don't get them regularly with the newspaper but every now and then I'll see them. They should be available in stores as well.

I'm going to be heading out there soon, hope they're not as hard to find as some have reported.

[shrike4242]

I really wish this was available from Amazon with the IMAX footage, not just at Walmart.

Though if someone else confirms a price cheaper than $19.99, especially if it's that $13.27 price, I may swing out and pick up a copy at WM.

Mine was cheaper than $19.99... it was $19.96. ;)

I quickly browsed through a few other forums before heading out to WM and some people had theirs ring up at $18.96 and $13.xx.

I also would've preferred buying through Amazon, as I don't care much about the IMAX scenes (I watched the movie both in a normal theater and then at an IMAX theater and didn't even realize there was a difference in content), but using the $3 off coupon, it came out cheaper getting it through WM and I didn't have to find filler for FSSS.

Charlottesville, Va had a deal? I've never found any good deals there lately. Although, I think I remember that Walmart beats the competitor's ad prices on most DVDs and Blurays by posting those little paper signs saying they lowered the price. Guess I should have gone there instead of Fredericksburg this morning. Good find.

[LinkinPrime]

$19.96 at my local Wal-Mart (Cerritos, CA). They seem scarce too, they only had 2 copies left, tons of DVDs though.

SD has a bit more info on the lower price (mistake?) that some are reporting:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=1614475

[lawdood]

$19.96 at my local Walmart too (Citrus Heights, CA) Still a good price for a new BD with exclusive footage so I'm happy.

[MAGfuz]

$19.96 at the Wal mart I went to (E.P., MN) Had about a good 30 or so BD. Mine is like all the others, Black O. Prime slip with Bumblebee Cover. We actually had a pizza party yesterday at work, and had 4 of the $3 off T:RotF, so I took them all for me and my friends, lol!

[kjay80]

just came back from wm, got a copy for $19.96 as well.
but i stopped by mcdonald located inside, so maybe i should add another 5 bucks to the cost!!!

[phoenix529]

Hey everybody, Just got back from my local Wal-Mart with a copy.

$19.96 on the shelf.

$15.96 at the register.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

I went to Panorama City, there are 30 copies at the display stand & endcaps. Just bought 3 copies with these coupon.

[minimafiaaj]

yeah im wondering if i should try that coupon prob wont since i could only get it in black and white lol

[LinkinPrime]

You could try, if they ask you could say that your Papa John's ran out and they were giving out photocopies.

[Mugen Power]

yeah im wondering if i should try that coupon prob wont since i could only get it in black and white lol

I just used mine at a self-checkout scanner.

hmm walmart has those? lol the one by me is ghetto so they might not

[cdeener]

Son of a bitch I had my girl buy this from BB for $22 cause I didn't even see this thread until now. My local Walmart will be sold out so I'm not pressed.

[Snowball21]

Went to Walmart after work this morning at 7am in Ionia, MI and they were already sold out -_-

Traveled 35 min to another one where they had a couple dozen, no problem with the coupon either, cashier read it and still took it, lol.

Just got back from the NW Austin Wal-Mart on 620, they had about 30+ copies and the photocopied coupon worked. $18 and change out the door, thanks to OP and whoever posted the coupon.

anyone know if there is much of a difference in this WM version compared to that on the normal edition? i am wondering if the drive is worth it to get the IMAX WM version. anyone with the ImAx version let me know!

It's 1-2 minutes of additional footage. Probably not REALLY worth it although if Walmart is convenient for you you might get lucky and be near one of the stores only charging $13 for it.

[ITDEFX]

I am sick of these exclusives... Target's got the transforming case and the holographic thing, Walmart's got the IMAX footage..and so on.

I saw the sd-dvd version playing on an hdtv this morning at Walmart...bad choice!
Picture was so bad I was like bah.

Anyways how's the holographic thing?

[Justin42]

yeah, I HATE store exclusives, especially when it's an entire movie or even parts of it. At least Walmart is the cheapest place to buy it, as well.

(this was a double whammy for me, I try to not buy store exclusives and definitely try to not support Walmart and I failed on both today. Still holding strong on not buying Gremlins, though!)

The DVD looks to be absolutely horrible-- like they're really trying to convince people to go HD, as I can't believe it has to look THIS bad. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1189560

[ITDEFX]

yea blu-ray.com said the same thing...really bad transfer.. glad I skipped it.

[hmbtnguy]

Does anyone know if the IMAX blu ray version is comparable to the regular blu ray version in terms of picture quality? I'm hoping that the normal scenes use the same compression and coding, but I haven't found any info on this online. I'd rather not have them lower the bitrate for the normal scenes just so they can squeeze in the extra pixels for the IMAX scenes.

[LinkinPrime]

The link Justin posted shows them as identical minus the black bars top/bottom for the IMAX scenes.

[token2k6]

All I can say is that most of the Imax footage was the scene in the forest where Optimus takes on 5 enemies. It looked amazing on my 46" LCD!! I thought I would miss it, but it as soon as it switched to full screen, I noticed. I didn't see anything before this scene and doubt I will after, b/c this probably did clock in at 2 mins, or even more.

I'm not a huge transfer guy, so I can't get into any technical aspects, but I can tell the audio is a bit lower than the first Transformers BD during dialog scenes.

EDIT: More Imax footage when Devaastator forms!!!

[Britshady]

Has anyone had any issue with using the $3 coupon? My Walmart was fine with taking it but it wouldn't scan and when they tried to manually enter the sku it didn't recognize the coupon.

[LinkinPrime]

They're supposed to scan the barcode on the left only. Covering up the barcode on the right with their hand helps.

[Ispep Aloc]

With self checkout at walmart how does using the coupon work? Do u turn it in somewhere?

Just scan it using the barcode system. Scan the coupon twice and see how much you paid for. :lol:

[guyver2077]

yea wtf i just noticed that my walmart copy also has the bumblebee....

w.e the proof of purchase on the back of the cover says big screen so i should be good

19.96

[Hunter1671]

I just got the IMAX copy for 13.00 dollars at walmart! I don't know why they are selling it this cheap but I picked one up for sure!

[cdeener]

Welcome to the DVD side of CAG...we're here, and we don't have a ton of senseless posts like the Video Game Deals :lol: Check in every once in a while, every week, I've gotten great DVD deals or info from threads on here!
I check every once in a while just to see what is worth me buying cause I own too many DVDs and I'm trying to limit how many Blurays I buy cause I love watching movies in HD.

[djblaze805]

Coupon worked like a charm. 18 and change. I have no idea how people are getting it for $13.

[blissskr]

The Imax stuff is kind of stupid to me and I just finished watching it. Its really only at a few scenes and it adds nothing to the movie really. My wife actually commented on the black bars going away for a minute lol. I mean if the whole movie was presented in that way it'd be worth getting over the reg blu ray but for a few scenes go with whatever is cheapest to buy.

[Hunter1671]

For a 13 dollar blu ray...the IMAX scenes don't look bad at all.

Some Walmarts lower their DVD and Blu-ray new release prices so they can undercut competitors. The Charlottesville, VA store reduced their price for the DVD to $13.27 and accidentally did the same for the Blu-ray. Signs say $13.27 for DVD and $19.96 for Blu-ray, but both ring up for $13.27. Out the door for $10.93 with coupon!

[seventh_sage]

thanks Techsticles!! :D

hope this was ok quality, scanned as a photo at 300dpi, when prompted to choose higher resolution, i said to stick to regular or small. If you guys think you need the front, let me know...

EDIT: also if a mod wants to add this to the sticky coupon thread, that is fine with me, please do!!



Token, thanks for the scan. I printed it out on my crapy black & white printer (i was out of color ink) & wal-mart still took it. you gotta luv people who just don't care about their job & just do whatever. Transformers 2 for $16.96 on release day is awesome. Thanks again Token for posting the scan, you're a life saver. :)

[James1701d]

Big thanks for the person that scanned and put up the coupon. Worked like a charm, and the Big Screen version I picked up was the last one on the shelf. I am sure they had more in the back, but I took it and ran just in case.

[dpr1984]

Thanks for the coupon, got it for $10 at walmart, I can't believe they had the bly-ray for $13, incredible that it is cheaper than the dvd edition. It is for a short while though, the cashier also said everyone was asking if that really was the price.

[supermodestmouse]

i'm sad I can't find it for 13...but i'll accept 16 (after coupon). I'm a fan (although i would have accepted megan fox running in slow motion around a camaro that transforms up and down and occasionally gets hit for about an hour and a half)

we cannot disable the IMAX footage can we?

Land O Frost had a 3 dollar mail in rebate on a pack of smoked ham that I purchased recently

[thegamemaster]

I just came back from my local walmart where they had the Big Screen Edition for 13.99..........without the Papa Johns Coupon.....and its Blu-ray. No Joke. Thats the best sale i ever seen for a bluray, espically a big title.

[flix1]

Hit 2 Walmarts. They only had the Bumblebee version. One of them had close to a hundred in multiple cardboard setups in the aisles. At both stores, it rang up at $19.96.

So, does the Bumblebee cover include the IMAX footage? (Is the only difference the cover?)

Thanks!

[LinkinPrime]

Bumblebee cover is the "Big Screen" edition (IMAX footage). It should have a slip cover with a shiny close up of Optimus Prime's face.

[Un4tun8Disaster]

I also got lucky and spotted it at my Wal-mart local last night for $13.00. Bought 2 copies (One for myself and one for a friend) Couldn't Pass up that price for Blu. I expected it to be $19.99 But was shocked to see the price as $13. I too had to ask the worker if it was correct...

[kinga]

Is the 13 dollar price at any in Houston I saw on the Dunvale one it still listed at 19.96?

[Techsticles]

Don't think so, 1 of them in Pasadena was $19.96 but they didn't have any copies out yet late Monday night, just the price. The one in Pearland off 518 near 288 was $19.96 yesterday. They did allow the printed coupon from a few pages back though at that location, but they had less than 5 copies of the "Big Screen" Blu-Ray and more than 100 of the DVD.

[TheRock88]

Went to my nearest Walmart and they were all sold out. :(

Gonna stop by another one tomorrow and if they're sold out too, I'm f'd. Dont wanna have to settle with the standard edition.

I was barely. BARELY lucky. There was just one copy left and some kids were near it so i snatch it real quickly. But if i can make a suggestion, try around noon. They usually have a shipment coming around 10am, espcially for a big title like that they will have more coming.

[James1701d]

Maybe I was luckier than I thought.

[Zmonkay]

Picked up the last copy today. Just wanted to say thanks again for the coupon!

[FadeToOne]

Hell, I didn't get a coupon and was happy to pay only $20 for it. I didn't see it in theaters, so I figure that's $20 I saved already.

[shrike4242]

Bumblebee cover is the "Big Screen" edition (IMAX footage). It should have a slip cover with a shiny close up of Optimus Prime's face.The only one they had at the WM I went to had the Bumblebee cover, though there was no slipcover. :-s

I decided to pass on it, since it was the only copy they had.

[StarKnightX]

Managed to pick up a copy at my local wal-mart (they had tons of them) but got shot down with the coupon. Cashier told me they couldn't accept it because it didn't have an expiration date on it :wall:. Trying to decide whether it's worth trying to return and rebuy for the $3 or not.

[tahoesnowboarder]

went to my local WM, there were still quite a few copies left on Blu ray. Got one luckily but at the 19.96 price, ask WM person to scan to see if it was cheaper but still the same price. Oh well. still a good deal with the coupon. The 13 dollar price everyone is finding is for the 1 disc regular version but some WM must be allowing blu ray as well.

[misbitski]

Thanks to those that posted the coupon. I printed it out and took it to self checkout. Unfortunately, it didn't take it and I had to wait for a cashier, then a manager. Manager said it's a photocopy and that's why the system rejected it. He asked where I got it, and I said it was an email promo. Next thing I knew, they overrode it and ran it threw. 16.96 isn't too shabby.

I figured I would've got turned down, but the deal worked out. Thanks guys... and Walmart employees :)

[supermodestmouse]

picked mine up as well. $3 coupon worked fine. Just ahd to cover up the right side. funny thing though is that they guy said i couldn't pay for it at the front, i had to pay for it in back.

[Booyabobby]

Received an email from Amazon stating they are gonna refund me $5. Woot! :bouncy: Also like to say that Transformer 2 is reference material.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

I found a link of how to check in-store availability.

Go to Walmart.com (http://www.walmart.com)
type "Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=12534009)"
then copy & paste in the url address in bold: javascript:openFindInStore(12534009)
viola!

[Techsticles]

Price on Walmart.com dropped about $5 as well to $18.86 if you'd rather order it. They will charge you shipping and then tax your purchase if your state requires it.

[shrike4242]

They will charge you shipping and then tax your purchase if your state requires it.It's also showing Free Site To Store, at least for the moment, so that would end up with free shipping to the store. You still have to go and pick it up from there.

[Rictor]

I couldn't find the blu-ray at the $13 price point...$20 only. :(

I did, however, spot in the meat section, that if you buy a $2.95 package of Perdue chicken nuggets, you get a $5 rebate for the Transformers DVD. It looks like it would also apply to the blu-ray. Not a bad deal...free chicken nuggets and another couple bucks off the blu-ray.

Thanks OP, I just picked one up at lunch.

I noticed on the back of the slipcover in the corner above the PG-13 rating box is the following comment:

"Dialogue has been changed from the theatrical version"

Anyone have an idea on what changed? I wonder if they 'toned down' the twins after all the racial stereotype criticism that was made when it was released to theaters.

Supposedly it's a very, very minor tweak to one line in one scene at the beginning. Haven't really watched it yet but nothing I've read makes it sound like anything to worry about.

[styl3s]

Has anyone watched the walmart "imax" and the standard bluray? i wanna know what the difference is if it really matters

is it even imax?

[CocheseUGA]

There's four IMAX scenes. This info has been out since before the movie came out. 72 seconds of additional footage.

Got mine for $13. Wasn't even going to do that, until I found out about the PQ. $13 for a reference disc? Yes please.

[supercheapjon]

Picked it up yesterday at the Walmart in Chino Hills, CA. It was on sale for $13, and they took the coupon (thanks for posting that btw).

really? i just bought and watched the "big screen" walmart edition and did not see ANY imax scenes and watched one i rented from hollywood video the other day

the same exact movies walmarts big screen is bullshit

Read up:

There's some confusion on exactly how many IMAX scenes were included, 2 or 4. But the difference is pretty clearly shown in the first 7 posts.

[NJMane]

I was going to pick it up at Walmart for $13 but thankfully they were sold out. I got it form netflix and watched it earlier this week and the movie has to be one of the worst films I have seen in a while. The movie looked and sounded great but the movie as a whole was just terrible. So even at $13 I will pass.

[mediviper]

Does anyone know what that Purdue Chicken Nuggets rebate, is the promotion valid on blu ray or just dvd?

[j_j]

http://www.perdue.com/TransformersRebate/ does show on the main front page dvd and blu ray.
So it's worth a try if you buy their food.

I just did the $3 coupon from the OP of the black and white pdf and it worked, no problem at Walmart, just entered at register as manufacturer coupon. Cost me $19.98 - $3 = $16.98

[lolwut?]

Hmm, I might get this for under $20 with the coupon, even if the movie was terrible.

I wish Wal-Mart would pricematch their own fucking site though; they literally have the most Nazi-like CSR team I've ever dealt with.
