It seems that almost every vender has its own exclusive for the upcoming re-re-re-...-release of Episodes IV-VI. Here are the ones I know of, but I'm wondering: what else is out there and who's got it?

Target: exclusive concept art mini-posters
Best Buy: exclusive metal cases
Circuit City: exclusive lithographs
Wal-mart: exclusive graphic novels

Also, has anyone heard any concrete prices?

I went to Best Buy Tuesday morning with no intentions of even picking this up. I was going to get them eventually, and I actually really wanted the lithographs, but my CC has to be the worst in the country and I refuse to give them any business. My BB got me in the mood for the DVDs, because Chewbacca was walking around. So, I took a picture with him, holding the tin, and then decided I should just buy it. I love the way the tin looks on the shelf, and very happy I bought it. :bouncy:
 
BB wants $60 for the tin set and CC sells the 3 for $15 each. Is the tin actually worth the extra $15???

The BB I went to today ran out of the tin, so I have no clue how it looks like at all (except the tiny pic on their website).

I saw the tin yesterday at BB and it didnt look that impressive to me. Worth $15 more? Maybe if there is exclusive content inside, which I dont think there is. I say the lithographs at CC are far better.
 
[quote name='aarif1']Just got back from CC, and not only did I get all three Lithographs (I still don't know what a lithograph is) without even asking, but the movies were priced at 12.99 each. Which is especially great for me because I just cancelled a pre-order I had at overstock for like 18 something each.

As a side note, even though Overstock overall is not bad, I wouldn't recommend pre-ordering from them, as cancelling is a big hassle.[/quote]
Isn't it $14.99 each at CC? I didn't know CC has regional pricing.

I thought so too.

I went in expecting 14.99, but they had a large display that prominently displayed "$12.99." I think someone else earlier in the thread said their CC had them at 13.99 each, so maybe it is regional pricing.

I'm in the Boston area, btw.
 
[quote name='Trakan']Anyone got actual pictures of the tin rather than the ones posted at BB.com?[/QUOTE]

Here's some I found on Ebay.

[quote name='ryanlk']was the 12.99 price on the full-screen or the widescreen? maybe CC charges 12.99 for full and 14.99 for wide...[/QUOTE]

Nope... wide screen.
 
I have no Circuit City within 100 miles, and I split the cost of the BB tin with my wife. So, an extra $5 from my wallet was worth it for the tin. It's nice, packages everything together well. If I had a CC I probably would have just picked up all 3 individually though since I'm broke as hell now.

I watched the original Star Wars tonight. Felt good to see everything in it's original state. Didn't have to get aggrivated over extra dewbacks or that stupid Jabba scene.

Stay on target, stay on target...

For those that are still on the fence: If you despise the Jedi Rocks sequence replacing Max Rebo, pick it up. If you only have a standard def TV and won't be able to afford a nice new LCD or whatever for a while, pick it up. If you've seen it zoomed-in on a widescreen TV and it still has decent picture quality, pick it up.

Honestly, I don't know if Lucas will ever release anamorphic remastered editions of something he truly believes to be obsolete. I'm willing to bet that he won't. If he does, then I'll buy those, of course. Another $50 or $60 several years from now won't kill me.
 
I went to Best Buy yesterday and they had 5 tins left, all dented to hell and back. Instead, I bought the 3 DVDs and then price matched them to Fry's $13.99 price. So, I got them for $13.69 each, almost as good as aarif1's haul.

$41.07 for all 3 DVDs. The tin is not worth the extra $19, especially those fucking dented tins.
