How's your Oct 16th?

Mine is great. Picked up the Exclusive DVD at Target, got another set of Bumblebee 2 Pack (in exchange of the more beat up set I got previously), got the surpised $5 'transformable :lol: ' gift card too (thought that only comes with regular version DVD purchase), and now watching the DVD extras while waiting my 08 Bumbleebee clear coat to dry, as I just finished its custom paint job. Finally got this guy and painted, after more than 2 months of search. Now enjoying the rest of my day off, watch TF DVDs, playing with a cool custom, life is pretty good. :grin:

If only my local Best Buy still has the metallic Ratchet & Megatron, it would be perfect. Not really planning to buy them, but just want to check them out. Heard there were lines waiting before store opens just for those. Good that they are not on my 'hit list'.

The Target transforming DVD case is kind of cool too. Arms & legs locks in place, and stands decent on its small feet. Just a good novelty extra when it only cost a couple bucks more, with the comic and all. Actually now to think of it, it didn't even cost me anything since I got the $5 gift card. NICE! :grin:

That'll be my day tomorrow, except I'll be at work. UPs will be delivering my Target 2-disc set, and I'll have my portable DVD player along to watch it at lunch and listen to it the rest of the day (no DVD player in my work computer). Can't wait to pose the tf'ign case next to the tf'ing gift card I got a few weeks back.

Yay Transformers life!

The Ratchet and Megatron were sold out at my local Best Buy within minutes while I was at class. Thankfully dear old dad managed to snag a pair in New Jersey. Unfortunately Target was sold out of the Transforming DVD box. :sad:

The special addition 2-disc set that has the exclusive Robot Heroes Battle-Damaged Prime & Cliffjumper was $30. Not sure about the regular or high definition DVDs.

I got into a Best Buy 30 minutes after it opened. So for sure, there was no exclusive figures left. Just bought a two disc special edition and got a free lithograph. It was a pretty good day.

Over a HUNDRED people were standing outside Best Buy BEFORE it even opened this morning. So, needless to say, all the Metallic Megatrons and Ratchets were gone fast than Frenzy said "Oh ****". Same for the little figure pack at BB, AND the Lithographs. F***king b*stards cleared EVERYTHING out in less than 10 minutes. I did manage to find a regular 2-disc edition, and a 1 disc for my friend (who only wanted the one disc edition anyway).

Out of curiosity, I went to Target, and they were picked clean. I found 2 Exclusive 2-packs in the wrong section, but I didn't get it. It's too cheesy, and I already found a good 2 disc set. I'd rather see it go to someone who would enjoy it more than I would.

What time did I get to BB? 9:30 am. It opened at 9am. I got to Target at 10 am. They too opened at 9am. Utterly insane.

From my experience, I got to Target round 10:30am. There are like 8 sets of Transformng DVD sets left, with an empty shelf on the other side already, while alos 8 sets of Bumblebee 2 pack (at the cashier rags instead of toy aisle). But as soon as I got my copy and the toys, there were only 3 transforming DVDs left, after like 5 mins. The exclusives sure goes fast, while there are plenty of regular DVDs.

Best Buy on the other hand still have some DVDs with the Prime and Cliffjumper set. Just all the Metallic Voyagers were wiped out clean.

Mine was good, no DVD though, I have to wait another 2 weeks to get my hands on a copy.

Not much news about Australian Exclusives as yet though, so hopefully I wont have to decide about what store to buy the DVD from...

At Target, a $5 gift card (it transforms to Optimus Prime too LOL) if you buy both a TF Movie DVD (apparently can be either regular version or exclusives) & the Deluxe Bumbleebee 2 pack set ($15.99 on sale this week, regular $19.99) together. Gift card given at cashier as they ring you up. If they forget, make sure you ask for it. So its a pretty good deal if you happen to need both, and like the transforming case & comic version DVD.

My 16th started out great. I got to Best Buy an hour early which netted me the ability to nab up the exclusive special features DVD and a Metallic finish Megatron. Sorry, no interest in Ratchet.

Then I got bad news. BBTS was unable to fulfill my order for one gold Vector Prime. They refunded my money in the form of store credit.

Then it got really good again. They not only refunded my money, but added an extra ten dollars onto that store credit, allowing me to purchase the Takara issue Vector Prime at the same price as the gold Hasbro release Vector Prime.

Totally owns. My day has been awesome.

Well, it will take a while till the dvd will come out by us, but my day was great. I doesn't count the fact that I had an exam at 6:50 am, but after that, I finally got my fav figure from the Real Gear line: Booster X10

I was not very happy, but still didn't leave completely empty handed....

Started my journey at Walmart at 7:15am and got my 2-pack then ventured over to Target by 8am to nab my Optimus Transforming DVD set as well as bought the $5 Transforming gift card.

Best Buy really kinda blew, but not entirely. There was about 20 or more people waiting out there. When the doors opened there was ONLY 4 EXCLUSIVES!!!???? I was lucky enough to nab the Megatron, but there was only 3 of us who got them and we looked everywhere for them in the store and they said there was just those 4, which I think is bull crap. I bet people held them or are waiting later in the day to put more out. A lot of people were angry about the lack of voyagers including me. I can't believe they didn't have that many, yet I also feel fortunate I at least got something. I really hope BB offers these online because I can't go there everyday to check at 10am. If they opened at 8am maybe, but yeah....

I was very surprised to see people buying 3-4 copies of the movie. I haven't seen such support of a DVD release since Star Wars... at least groups of people flocking in to get one thing.

I totally passed on the Robot Heroes 2-pack gift set. $29.99... ech... I have enough versions, LOL!

From what I see, not as bad as the BestBuy Voyagers. But the transforming DVD case version sure sells fast. I wouldn't wait a day if you really want to get one. But on the other hand, its not like its a must have. Its kind of a nice novelty and fun to have, but may not worth driving all around town to hunt down a copy. But its a sweet deal if you get that with the 2 pack Bumblebee and get the $5 gift card altogether (that is of course meaning the Target still has both available :p)
