I prefer Marvel live action and DC animated.

I seriously hate this site sometimes...I ended up getting the cowl, digibook, and SB out of sheer excitement. Thanks guys lol

Could someone please answer this lol? I'm guessing it is just by chance, but I'm wondering how whoever had this happen phrased it to the employee.

I bought Finding Nemo 3D and DK Rises steelbook ($24.99) and went to my car because I forgot Borderlands 2. I had Finding Nemo price-matched when I bought it but I didn't know if there was a price matching opportunity for DK Rises. Checked DK Rises prices online while sitting in my car. Traded in my Borderlands 2 but I still had the DK Rises receipt in my pocket. Went to customer service and said that I just bought this today but I would like a price adjustment to $17.96, which I checked in the car. Gave her my receipt and got the price adjustment.

Be sure to point out that the regular Amazon price is $35.99 but that it is now $17.96. I made it clear to the CSR so she didn't feel like it was a problem, and she confirmed the price by looking it up.

Got Finding Nemo 5-disc & steelbook + DK Rises steelbook for $35 total after price-matching them both.

Well I appreciate your reply, but I was aware of Amazon's price of $17.96 lol..I'm just curious because its for the COMBO pack...not the steelbook since they don't carry it, only BBY does. I assume the person will say "this is a different version of the movie and not the one Amazon is selling, so I can't give you a PM"

If it was the same thing, yea...but this is apples and oranges.

I remember when Best Buy had a wave of Disney/Pixar Steelbooks I was able to get a PM to the regular editions, but in hindsight I don't think it was right to do it since they are indeed different editions. BB employers shouldn't allow it either, but they're often completely clueless about these things and just see the fact that they're both Blu-ray combos

If anybody ends up deciding to sell a Cowl copy let me know, Wal-Mart online "oversold" and I got screwed out of what I assumed was a guaranteed pre-order.

Yeah, I'm pretty damn salty about it at the moment.

I still have the DVD releases from the first two movies that came with the comics and the Two Face coin (unopened). But for some reason, I am not interested in the cowl as the exclusive item for Dark Knight Rises.

I have the other two steelbooks so naturally I want the latest one. $24.99 is a bit high so hopefully an Upgrade and Trade promotion will help change that.

The Batmobile documentary is outstanding, best special feature I've watched in I don't know when. Keeping a cowl sealed I ordered from Walmart months ago when it was $25, spent the last 4 hours digging into the steel book. I bought 50/50 for $13 when it came out, still haven't had a chance to watch it. This I'll watch a bunch.

I too have no shipping confirmation on my WB Shop order, but it is also apparently going to come first class. Also picked up the DVD trilogy off Amazon...I already own the first 2 on DVD but had some credit to use so ended up paying $14.94 out of pocket for the set and it comes with that 64 page book. Will take a look at Walmart today after work and see if the Cowl edition is still in stock...but the fact that I do not have a Blu-Ray player yet is making me want to wait a bit.

I went to walmart yesterday at 8am and all they had was the standard edition blu ray for 24.96. Wasted my time. Then I went to bestbuy which is across the street luckily. They had the steelbook and the regular edition. I just bought the regular for 18.99 as I don't own the steelbooks of the others so I figured, whats the point? I doubt my walmart ever even had any of the bat cowl editions

Yea, I got an e-mail last night saying that could not fulfill my order and they canceled it. Luckily I was able to get two in store in the a.m.

A lot of us did. It was like $5-10 savings I remember for about 12 Steelbooks per Steelbook. I felt bad (especially the amount of hoops I had to jump through), but my wallet definitely didn't. Man that was a long receipt.

Went to Target last night and they had a buttload of the books in stock. I got the feeling not many were willing to pay the extra for them.

Just an update: The Cowl edition is bidding up to $150 on eBay.

This gives me hope that the wbshop exclusive may fetch an insane price then. They may be toys, but the fact that only 1,000 were made available will catch attention.

I just wish those of us who bought it knew what kind of packaging it was going to be in. If its a complete box with special artwork etc, then I have no doubt it will be rare...but if its the movie standalone and 3 separate boxed action figures like you could find at TRU or anywhere else, then I don't fee like it'll sell at all.

You are so lucky...

my wb order still says " in process" under shipment status , what gives?

i ordered on october 8th

This should have been the trilogy edition cover.

it's worlds better than the Blu cover.
