I like the store exclusives. It would be nice to get some freebees every now and then.

wow, they still have woolworth's? those disappeared in the late 80s or early 90s here..lol

Yeah, they're pretty popular. New Zealand also has them, but they're more of a supermarket than a clothing/gift/toy/music/dvd store.

I was thinking the same thing. It would've been nice to see the US re-release offer some store exclusives here and there!

There's only one deleted scene and it's only 2 seconds long, the rest is alternate colourings and effects.
