If I would have known I would have picked up extra copies, last time I did that for RE and nobody seemed interested till a month later after I had already returned them. lol... Well I did post the store pick up option for ZDT but so much good that did. >_<

It's alright I should have asked earlier. I was really really surprised that no stores in Maine or NH should inventory Tuesday late afternoon.

Either they didn't get many or got cleaned out. In fact the one BB I checked only had 2 or 3 of the standard blu-rays.

I'm going to do some traveling this weekend so hopefully they have a lone one that isn't getting picked up by the computers (I think they have to have three to show inventory). If not I'll just buy one on eBay or from a 3rd party hopefully at a reasonable price.

If anyone is really concerned about picking up Les Mis, do an in-store pickup order for it tomorrow morning before the store opens.

Routinely, if I place an in-store pickup order for an item before the store opens (7-8AM), usually I'll have a picked notification before the store opens. Sometimes, it doesn't happen that way, though most of the time for my local store, they do an in-store pickup order before the store opens.

It'll probably be online for in-store pick when the site shifts over to the next day, so sometime between midnight and 2AM CT.

SKU # for the ZDT steel is 8090118 and the Les Mis steel is 8419041.

I checked really quickly using zip codes all up and down the east coast and I can't find a single store that has ZDT available for in-store pick up (it is sold out for shipping).

That is insane!

Hmmm weird, in-store pick-up for Les Miserables is available at all other stores around me except the closest to me. Hopefully it will change or I might just hope they have some at opening.

Salt was the same way when it came out, if you didn't order it on day of release, you didn't get the steelbook. When I pre-ordered it, the store picked the non-steelbook version and I had to go through three different stores to find one that had it. Some of the BB steelbooks don't last though the week for being around. And after I had three Snow White steelbooks get destroyed in shipment, I never ordered one online that wasn't in-store pickup.

It opened up for all my three local store options, so in-store pickup order placed. Hopefully will get something by store open that they've picked it.

I guess I've been spoiled. I always go release day but I've never had a problem with availability and I live in small market. In the last year snow white and the latest RE were the most scarce but even the afternoon of release day they had 3-4 available and they didn't sell through those until later in the week.

I just couldn't believe it when Tuesday evening I checked all stores within 300 miles and not a single copy available for pickup. I was going to do in-store too but the last time I did they stuck tape on the wrapping and ripped the shrink wrap taking it off. I figured with the snow storm foot traffic would be low and I could walk in and pick one up.

Live & Learn. I think the difference though is when they have a steelbook and it is priced at or just above the price of the standard blu-ray combo they sell through much faster.

Editions like Amazing Spiderman that are $28+ on launch (and never dip deeper) tend to hang around longer.

Here is the link for in store pick-up. I just ordered, my store usually has somebody pulling orders.

Someone on bluray said that as of now, there is no regular version of les mis listed online so this could be very very available but that is just a theory.

It's possible. About a week ago, they had the steelbook version listed at $22.99, and a different bluray version listed at $19.99. Then they made the steelbook unavailable for purchase. Then about a day later, they dropped the price of the steelbook version to $19.99. More days pass, and now the non-steelbook version is no longer listed. I wish I saved the SKU though.

Only reason I've been checking is because the GF wants it day 1. I'm not even sure she knows it's coming out tomorrow (today for non-PDT/Alaska/Hawaii people). I figured I'd better at least get a steelbook for this if I'm buying it day 1, since Zero Dark 30 disappeared so fast.

Probably OT, but I can't seem to find a more suitable thread.

Anyone know of a resource to pick up damaged steelbooks for cheap? I have a couple that have received cracked inner plastic (both on the spine) on their way here that I would like to swap out with minty fresh plastic inserts.
I figure, even if they are all dented and dinged, I can still use the plastic inside.

As far as I know, just eBay.

Placed an in store pick up for Les Miserables. Received the ready email few minutes after.

Burned a $15 rz cert. Good stuff.

Sorry for the double post, but wanted to provide an update for NYC.

Noho store received 10, but only 5 hit the shelf. 2 more left.

Best bet is Union Square location since they currently have 10 on the floor.

Good luck everyone. One day more.

Papio in Nebraska had like 10. Had 6 zeros on Tuesday

Well, my in-store pickup order is showing as completed as of 8AM this morning, so it should be a steelbook and in advance of anyone going into the store to pick one up.

I'll find out if it's the steelbook when I go to pick it up as well as if they didn't screw me over on the ZDT steelbook from Tuesday's in-store pickup order.

From what I saw my store was out of ZDT

There were six slots for Les Mis steelbooks in the new release stand at the front of my Best Buy, with one steelbook in each slot. This was around noon.

Most interesting thing I learned was a guy working there pointed out that there was an indie PC fighting game made in Japan based on Les Mis.

Tons of Les Mis steelbooks at my bestbuy. I still need to pick up my copy of ZDT from a Best Buy I did a local pick-up for. Hopefully it's still there tomorrow.

If it's not there, tear them a new one. They're supposed to hold in-store pickup orders for 7 days after the date of order, so if you ordered it on the 19th, they have to hold it to the 27th.
