I had pre-ordered the Canadian Best Buy exclusive and it ended up being a photo booklet with various scenes and quotes from the movie as well as some clear shots of the characters (same ones you'd see as wallpaper on the internet). It also came with a titanium G1 Optimus Prime but he has battle-damage. I don't know if that's common or new because I haven't followed the Titanium series closely. On the back, it shows the other possible 3 figures - Beast Wars Megatron, Unicron, or War Within Optimus Prime.

I was at a local Sam's Club for a job interview and they not only have the movie 2-DVD set (DVD-1:Movie/DVD2-: extras) but also showing the movie on an entire aisle of LSD/HD (not sure which ones) monitors (great way to test them :grin: ) priced at $24 (minus tax).

Now, what I would like to know is if the 2_DVD set in question is exclusive to that store and if there is any other set with exclusive content like the Wal-Mart set.

I bought the target transforming case then went to best buy and bought the prime and cliff jumper set. I also bought best buys exclusive Megatron figure and if you buy the figure and the DVD you get five dollars off your purchase.

In Canada Future Shop has the 2-disc special edition in faction logo stamped Steel boxes, so I bought Autobot.
And, BTW, the "Devastator" "typo" is still in the film.

OK, heres my story of a TransTastic day!(I know, I'll beat myself up for that later).

I intend on getting the Walmat edition soon, but for today, I scored the Target one because I realy like the case idea.

I went in, got my copy, and saw the promotion for a $5 gift card if I got the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack at time of purchase.

I already knew about this deal thanks to this site!

Well, they only had 2 of the BB 2packs left. I have both figs several times over now, but still wanted this exclusive. Don't ask my why though, I already have these figures loose and sealed, but I bought the 2 sets anyway.

At the counter, the clerk told me about the gift card(again, I already knew) and saw tucked behind the register the Prime gift card. As the clerk was reaching for a generic card, I asked for that one as it even comes on a blister card!

The clerk gave it to me and the GM walked up to me and kinda cursed me because it was the last one in the store, that he put there hoping to score it for himself later.

Tough Beans!

Anyhow, I went back to work with my bag of goodies in waiting and ran into a real good long lost friend who out of the blue brought up the TF movie, and told me he couldn't find any bots where he moved to!?!

I took it as a sign and gave him the extra BB set that I bought(see it some times pays to trust instinct)!

The rest of the work day went by super fast, the beer I like was on sale today, and I got to watch the movie agian on my freshly hung flat screen that I just got a short time ago...

Truely a TransTastic Day!

It's inside the blister pack of the transforming version.

This is the first one I got, I'll be getting a couple others for the features but giving the movie discs to my nieces and nephews as apose to returning or reselling them.

In the end though, I'd just like one of the tins, and the transforming case(which I got)

I grabbed the Best Buy set this morning along with the Megatron figure. The new paint scheme looks very nice, more appealing for his character than the standard one was. My girlfriend grabbed the Target transforming case and we swapped sets :grin: My 2 yr old daughter just adores the Robot Heroes figures so everyone was happy, except my Xbox, which played the movie 3 times before someone put a stop to it :P

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 :lol: 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!

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.

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.

Comment by Bouncy X Oct 16, 2007
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
