Thanks for the heads-up.

Target will be carrying it also, it's just not listed in the ad (same price as Best Buy).  We had to take one out yesterday to check the fit on the shelf, since the box is so big.  It fit, but barely...it overhangs the shelf by about 2 inches, which is the thickness of the cover.    I didn't measure it, but I'd say the hexagon-shaped box is about 14-15 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 8 inches deep.  Fortunately, it's back-heavy, so it stays on the shelf!  Our store got 2 of them, and we're a low-volume store, so there should be enough of them out there between the different chains for those willing to shell out the $120.

EDIT: I guess I low-balled the dimensions!  According to Amazon, the box is 16.75 inches high, 15.5 wide, and 9.25 deep!

I work at a Borders...so far, no discount from the SRP (179.99).  We're only supposed to get 3, have gotten 2 at the moment.  I suspect it'll be a while before ours are sold, unless we get a 40% off coupon...even then...not sure how fast we'll sell out.  We tend to hang on to stuff like this and end up sending some (most) back.  Where I live, tends not to be a big spending place.

Wait a minute...it's $120 street price?  For a single movie?  Holy crap.

Uh, no. The single movie costs (as Two-Disc Special Edition) $22.99. The Box with the slightly higher price has other items as well I that's worth it for you will be your call.

So I was able to get two of these today...one for myself and one for my daughter.  Pre-ordering was the way to go as I only found one sitting on the floor of the store.

I hope you were able to get yourself a copy Max as it looks pretty cool in it's 'coffin' shaped box.  It will be a challenge to get a good cover scan for this.  I might just use my camera as my scanner is a tad to small.

Just picked it up . Got the last one at my local Target...they had 4 in stock this morning. The box is gonna be a bear to scan for sure. Like you, I think a digital photo is going to be the way to go. Tomricci has some images in his contribution that look like he scanned but they look pretty bad. Can't even make out Jack in the Box...no put intended . This set is totally cool .

I just got mine as well.  It is AWESOME!!!  Anyone whom is trying to get it try Best Buy.
