Sayes you, I'm joining the general overload consenseus.

I know I plan on getting a couple, but this is past the point of selling the sizzle not the steak.

See for your self, get the best deal on the best offers, mix and match, and make your own, but who realy needs 70 copies of the same thing in a different package?

It's the same thing as repaints, but on DVD

Anybody had this problem yet? I'm stuck at school/work and won't be out until 4ish.

My local Best Buy said they only had 4 F'ing figures! 2 Megatrons and 2 Rathets.... I guess they are taking "exclusive" to the next level They said they have about 600 at their warehouse but only got 4 for today, and will be putting out more later....the hunt is on.

The Best Buy stores in Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills, MI only got in one of each, and were clueless about when and if more were coming. The main customer service line couldn't tell me anything either. At least your warehouse news offers some hope.

I have put up a white flag on these exclusives. Never seen so many for one movie's release ever! If they compiled all the worldwide exclusive into one package it would have 4-6 DVDs and cost about $500 given all the action figures and add-ons!

i bought the best buy with robot heroes but no deleted scenes does any dvd out there have deleted scenes?

There is really no difference in the original live action Ratchet that was released earlier. Voyager Megatron at Best Buy however does not have the translucent plastic/ice on him that the standard Voyager Megs had when originally released.

Word.

The Ratchet figure is somewhat different -- this version has a metallic yellow paintscheme, whereas the first release was just yellow, not metallic.

I picked up both Megs and Ratchet and my local Best Buy this morning. When I got to the store, a friend who works there told me they only got 6 of each figure in, and that I was the first to pick them up. But I was there at 10:15am, so I doubt the others lasted long after that, based on what I'm hearing from everyone here...

So here's my score for today:
1 Transforming DVD case from Target
1 $5.00 Transforming Gift Card from Target
1 Bumblebee "Evolution of a Hero" Set
1 2-Disc Edition with Robot Heroes from Best Buy
1 Lithograph from Best Buy
1 Ratchet figure from Best Buy
1 Megatron figure from Best Buy

I'll be getting the Wal-Mart prequel disc from my mom, and from what I've heard so far, I'm looking forward to watching it!!!

WoW, i was at the Best Buy in rochester MI, like 2 minutes after they opened and Megs was gone, and the guy in front of me was holding the ratchet. what a shame, they only had one megatron and one ratchet.

I quickly left and raced to the other Best Buy down off of M59 and they had 3 megs left.

Got the Autobot 'Protect' Tin case, 2 disc edition. Haven't looked through the 2nd disc yet though.

Actually, the Best Buy Megatron does include the ice. It's just colored to match the figure's body coloring.

Wanted to get the robot heroes exclusives, but when i got to best buy and saw how horribly painted the prime figure was. I changed my mind. I wasn't gonna pay $30 for cliffjumper and a crappy prime figure. So I got the hd-dvd version. and just to see if i'm the only one, has anyone noticed at the part when Sam comes home with all the autobots and he's looking for the glasses. the movie drags at the part where his mom and dad are talking about grouding him to the next scene of him searching throught his room? i hope someone else is like this also, if not then i musta got a bad disc.

Is there a non HD DVD version of the movie that has all the other extras? Cause I couldn't find any at my local Best Buy.

so to those who got the "beginning" dvd.....settle this once and for all, is it an actual animated thing? or is it simple still images from the comic with sound and some basic animation added here and there to spice it up?

oh and since everyone is naming what they got, let me be bandwagon boy....i got the autobot steelbook edition

did you try playing it again? that happened to me in the scene when the hacker-guy grabbed the doughnut on my copy. i rewound and played and it was fine. i didn't notice what you were talking about, though.

I got the one disk version and the HD 2-disk especial edition. me happy

Ditto. I almost waited to tomorrow, but I went to an FYE by me anyway - glad I did! I got one of only two Autobot tins in the whole store! (about 6-7 Decepticon tins though)

Anybody pick up an extra BestBuy Megs and/or Ratchet they're willing to sell to me? The toys aren't in Canada...

The commentary is pretty good, but the best part is when the Autobots arrive. Halfway through Prime's first transformation, Bay says, "I think this moment right here, when I finally heard all the sounds...with Peter Cullen's amazing voice...and thank God the fans...I kept listening to fans, and they were right. You guys were right ALL the way through. But I just wanted to have an open mind of who can play these robots. So, you can't fault me for that, but...THAT was Optimus Prime, when he speaks, lemmie tell ya."

Hearing that from Bay's mouth was insanely cool. Feel proud, fans.

I got the Wal Mart exclusive with the prequel. I watched it last night, I was up till about 5 am this morning. Just watched the prequel today and was very pleasantly surprised to hear Welker as Megatron. Great voice work throughout the prequel except for Blackout, and I don't particularly like Bumblebee's voice. I don't think I plan on buying another version of the DVD, at least not at the moment.

Looks to me like it's exactly what you said here.

Is this commentary in the standard two disc version?

Well I bought the Target Transforming DVD only to learn my parents bought the Costco Exclusive. Yes there is a Costco Exclusive and for $35, you get the 2-Disc Special Edition, a random keychain being either Optimus or Bumblebee and some book. Haven't opened the package yet.

Yessir.

The Target version is just enough of a gimmick to get my attention. I do want an HD version but I don't have an HD-player yet. Hmm... Might be time to pick up the XBox HDDVD add-on and hook it to my pc.

xbox to your PC? explain...

I Had Pre-ordered The Special Edition 2 Disc (Normal) at FYE/Suncoast But Walked In And Saw The Last Tin 2 Disc Set. I Literally Jumped 10 Ft Forward To Snatch It For Myself Before Anyone Else Could Get The Last (Even Though It Was Lunch Downtown and No One Was Around).

It Was Just Too Good Looking To Not Get







And On Top Of That Picked Up The Last Evolution Of A Hero 2 Pack At Target. Finally Got The Concept Bumblebee Now.

I Saw The Transforming DVD From A Friend. Its Nice And Ill Get It At Some Point When I Have The Money...

Question: Does anyone know if there is a Full Screen version of the movie on DVD?

war -that steelbook is sweet. i'm jealous. Seibertron - u are out of your mind!(or just too hardcore-lol) I will say that Target had pound for pound the best deal. I got the 2D sp. Ed with transforming case + comic, Evol. of a hero BB 2-pack, and transforming $5 gift card for $40 + tax ($44). Split up, that's 6 six things for ~ $40, plus i can use the giftcard whenever. (U don't have to surrender the card when you redeem it wooohoo!! -just ask for it back) Maybe I'll use the gc on the ultimate edition whenever it comes out. How's that for stickin to corporate america?!? I'm not gettin' ^&*$^&ed.
