Post SW:EIII Prices Here

[joltman]

I hope this is OK, I just thought it would be nice to just have one thread with all of the known SW:EII prices. Looking for online and B&M. List any exclusives that are available with them too.
Amazon: 15.98
DDD: 16.69
buy.com: 15.97

[Zodiac_Speaking]

Anyone in Omaha, NE or Kansas City area, Nebraska Furniture Mart might be selling it for $9.99. That's a rumor I heard from someone who works there.

[fidodido]

Fry's: $14.99

[DavidH]

Best Buy: $14.99 (according to their Web site)

[Altimus Prime]

Circuit City's site has it at $19.99. Will that really be the in-store price release day/week?

[chsidwel]

The price on Circuit City's website is $14.99.

[Altimus Prime]

Damn, I could have swore I saw $19.99 on there. <shrugs>

[SRGilbert]

I hope this is OK, I just thought it would be nice to just have one thread with all of the known SW:EII prices.Having one thread is a good idea, however a GREAT idea would be to not abbreviate the disc title so people could actually find it in a search if needed! Something like "Star Wars : Episode III : Revenge of the Sith dvd prices here"

Don't forget about Walmart's Deal (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4242488&cat=187577&type=2&dept=187577&path=0%3A187577) $20.87 and comes with a hour long disc of some bonus feature.
Or $15.87 without the bonus disc. Some will say the disc is not worth the extra $5 but you KNOW people will pay upwards of $30 on ebay this time next year for it!

[Todd B.]

WTF? Where are the deals? I picked up Episodes I and II for $9.99 each on release day. This is supposed to be a loss-leader! Maybe on Black Friday?

[squaresoft7]

where was that, not one of the major chains that I can recall?

[Dalvin]

Toys R Us doe Episode II, so anybody know what the price is for Episode II at Toys R Us on release day?

[Dalvin]

I mean Episode III sorry, I would have edited my post, but for some reason I can't. Nor can I create new topics.

[Altimus Prime]

Looks like nobody is advertising a price for this. No prices listed in the Sunday Best Buy and Kmart ads. Where's the sense in that? How's the buyer supposed to know where to go for the best deal?????

[RonBoster]

Neb. Furn Mart has Ep 3 for $11.99

[Manzana]

I think this must be a first. Not a single ad (BBY, CC, TGT, Fry's) lists a price for Star Wars 3! Unless I'm mistaken, for each of the last 2 Star Wars releases at least 1 place had it listed for $14.99, and I think Ultimate Electronics may have had it for $13.95, and possibly Comp USA for $9.99 (just like they did with each of the Harry Potter movies when I preordered them somewhere else for more). This is very disappointing. This week there wasn't a Comp USA or Ultimate ad for me. At least this is within 30 days so if we see SW3 for sale for $9.99 or less on BF, it should only be a matter of pricematching within 30 days.

I'm trying to decide if I should let my Amazon order for Star Wars 3 + Polar Express 2-DVD go through for $15.88 each or hope for a better price on Black Friday where I can go in for a pricematch at my convenience. Any suggestions?

I don't know where you live but if you saw the prior reply it's 11.99 at Nebraska Furniture Mart. Otherwise it's a toss up...if you have a BB I'd recommend taking $3 of BB bucks and buying it there. Which should make it $11.99 (If BB is at it's usual price on new releases), plus if you're a Reward zone member you can get the lithograph with it.

Or you can roll the dice and still use your BB bucks on the Black friday. Cuz you know EP3 is gonna be in the ads. Just my thoughts...

Any suggestions?Well, the BB flyer shows it next to the Clone Wars dvd which is $14.99, so I'm pretty sure that will be the price for EPIII as well (it's a pretty standard ad technique when they can't show a price) same thing for the Target ad, next to the $15.99 cd.

I got an email ad from CompUSA this morning that has it for $14.99 clearly printed on the ad.

No price in the Circuit City ad at all.

Walmart ad doesn't show a price either, but that's pretty typical as their pricing in-store is almost always regional, based on the closest competition. The site lists it as $20.87 with the bonus DVD or $15.87 without. Probably be a little cheaper instore.

Sears only shows "low price" but they have a $5 off when purchased with a SW vid game.

[EdL]

$14.99 - $5.00 (gift Card) = $9.99 at Target.

Best price in Omaha & Kansas City before rebate is $11.99 at Nebraska Furniture Mart.

[Altimus Prime]

Well, gee, send me a $5 gift card and I'll be all over that Target price. <shrugs>

And I'm sure it goes without saying - No price listed in ad, no price matching. Right?

[SRGilbert]

$14.99 - $5.00 (gift Card) = $9.99 at Target.

-rolleyes- :wtf:

[gcribbs]

$14.99 - $5.00 (gift Card) = $9.99 at Target.

Best price in Omaha & Kansas City before rebate is $11.99 at Nebraska Furniture Mart.


are they giving away a $5 gift card to everyone?

I guess my RZ certs make it free for me at BB or a net of Zero. However this pricing is very regional ;)

[brkhrt7]

I think you only get the $5 Target giftcard when you buy episode 1 or 2. You onlyget some collector coin with episode 3.

[jiggyblau]

I really wouldn't be surprised to see this as one of the $11.99 or $9.99 DVDs on Black Friday. I may wait until then.

I was really hoping for a box set for Eps 1-3, but that is apparently not happening.

[DocBrass]

what is on the Wal-Mart bonus disc?

[EdL]

$5 Target gift card is for buying epsiodes 1, 2, or Battlefront 2.

I'll be sneaking off to NFM at 10:00 AM to pick-up my copy.

[Lemondrop]

Ive had luck with pricematching a "bonus" disc package at walmart before with Batman .

The easy to do thing is say "Target is giving a coin" , "Best Buy a lithograph" , etc.

Show the add if needed and Id bet the first day you could get the 2 discs for $14.99 on a PM :)

[Dabaomb]

just buy it now and Black Friday will be here within 30 days. If there's a better deal then, you can return the one that you buy this week.

[kvrdave]

That's a lot of trouble for $5 :lol:

[DavidH]

That's a lot of trouble for $5 :lol:

I was thinking the same; he would end up spending that much in gas.

[Dabaomb]

That's a lot of trouble for $5 :lol:

yeah, but he's also gambling that it'll be cheaper on Black Friday when it in fact may not be cheaper.

I'm saying if he's gonna go out this week anyways, and gonna go out on Black Friday as well, then it's no big deal.

[eau]

That's a lot of trouble for $5 :lol:
Not if he will be hitting up the store for other goodies anyway.

[actyper]

Any Canadians know if Walmart Canada has the bonus disc as well?

[lordopus99]

where was that, not one of the major chains that I can recall?

it was at walmart on release date the previous years. My location was Tallahassee, FL.

But if the price isn't listed in the ad, as seems to be the case across the board with Ep III, how can you do the pricematch?

And I don't know if trying to explain to a WalMart employee that a price printed near an image of Ep III is in fact the price for Ep III is going to work.

[silvernackle]

FYE is offering star wars 3 dvd for $12.99 after mail-in rebate. it also goes with free star wars comic if you pre-ordered it from them.

[Dravecky]

No midnight sales? No prices listed? Darn you, George Lucas!

[packaok]

I just returned from my local Wal*Mart Supercenter where I purchased Episode III with Wal*Mart exclusive bonus DVD for $15.99. The DVD without the exclusive was $14.99.

This was in Winston-Salem, NC if anyone cares...

[Novasonic]

I hope it's like that at one of my walmarts.

[sailor_moon]

I just got home from our Midnight sale. Media Play is selling it for $14.99.

[DarthPrime]

Nice

I'll be going to Wal-Mart in a few hours, hopefully I'll find the same prices.

[SLeopold]

I had my wife run out to the Beavercreek, OH Wal-Mart to get it with the bonus disc. It was 19.96. If I'd have known that, I probably would have waited and checked another Wal-Mart.

[shaggy]

I paid 19.96 for the bonus disc at Walmart, you may not want to wait for a deal. This Walmart was sold out of bonus discs 20 minutes after it was out. People were lined up for it. Did anyone see the DVD collection figures at their Walmart?

[abrg923]

You're kidding? I just got back from Walmart checking for something else (picked up Ep.III anyway), and they had at least 75 bonus discs. From what an employee was saying, they had a huge line as well. Yours might have underordered (or maybe my local Walmart over-ordered).

[Edith_in_LA]

How are all of you buying it at Wal*Mart already? I thought it wasn't being released until 11/1/05.

[eau]

How are all of you buying it at Wal*Mart already? I thought it wasn't being released until 11/1/05.
I think they were lining up to buy it at the midnight sale.

[Scott27]

It's 3am (on 11/1) here in the East. People must be going to 24 hour Wal-Marts in the East that are already selling it.

[Ravenous]

Man, Ill just buy the EP II DVD at Target, get the $5 card, use it on EPIII and return EPII unopened for my money back.

[Novasonic]

Now that's ethical ;)

[curranrowe]

Man, Ill just buy the EP II DVD at Target, get the $5 card, use it on EPIII and return EPII unopened for my money back.

Careful, often with these promotions stores protect themselves from this kind of cleverness by having the DVD ring up for $5 less than its actual price, then charge you for the $5 gift card.

The receipt would read:

Star Wars, Episode II - $9.99 (-$5.00 promotion) = $4.99
Target $5 Gift Card - $5.00
TOTAL = $9.99

So if you try to return the DVD and get a refund for $9.99 (or whatever the listed cost is), you'll actually end up getting $5 less than that (because that $5 went towards the gift card).

[Snowmaker]

I paid 19.96 for the bonus disc at Walmart. Did anyone see the DVD collection figures at their Walmart?

Boy, you got jipped. I paid that much for Episode III with the bonus disk. :D They had plenty left at 6:30 this morning, and its a 24-hour Wal-Mart.

They had pleny of the 3-packs, except they didn't get the Clone one for some reason, just Sith and Jedi. The woman setting up the display said she didn't even see the Clone one.

[kklems]

Rather than NFM for $11.99 I am going to go to Best Buy and PM to get for $11.69 !! That's $.30 less and a get a crappy lithograph I dont need. Oh and I be able to pickup Star Wars BAttelfront II for $30 after PM.

[Snowmaker]

Oh and I be able to pickup Star Wars BAttelfront II for $30 after PM.

How?

[Christobal]

Oh and I be able to pickup Star Wars BAttelfront II for $30 after PM.

Yeah, who's selling it for $30?

[GuessWho]

Got E3 with bonus disc for $14.87 at Wal-mart

[rfduncan]

Boy, you got jipped. I paid that much for Episode III with the bonus disk. :D They had plenty left at 6:30 this morning, and its a 24-hour Wal-Mart.
I would imagine so. Did anyone expect any establishment to sell out Halloween night midnight to even noon today? I mean the movie was good, but *I* was certainly not going to be waiting in a line to purchase it. I expect this to be a loss leader on Black Friday, so I'll hold off.

Odd because both Toys R Us and Blockbuster I think sold Eps 1 & 2 for $9.99.

[lordopus99]

Rather than NFM for $11.99 I am going to go to Best Buy and PM to get for $11.69 !!

thats my plan when I get off today

[flix1]

Got E3 with bonus disc for $14.87 at Wal-mart
How?

[RockStrongo]

What is NFM??

[Y2K Falcon]

<a href = 'http://www.nfm.com/'>Nebraska Furniture Mart</a>.

Apparently that store's DVD prices are the one good thing about having to live in Omaha, Kansas City (Kansas) or Des Moines. ;)

[Flynn]

Got the widescreen plus bonus disc (and the clone three-pack) at Wal-Mart last night at midnight. It's a supercenter and they had TONS of everything. I think me and some old lady were the only two paying customers in the store... FYI it was 19.96.

That may be true. Ive never done it before so I was wondering how it would work. I doubt anyone here is buying EP I + II so I may never though. Instead of wasting time I may just price match the $14.99 price at WalMart on the Bonus Disc. I just called and talked to a manager and he said they would do it.

[JuryDuty]

At 9:30 this morning, I picked up my DVD + Bonus DVD at Walmart for $19.96. Glad I went there when I did. There were only 5 copies of the bonus DVD version left.

[GuessWho]

How?

The only price posted on the rack said 14.87. I made them stick to it.

[gowensby]

I too paid $19.96 at Wal-Mart for the bonus disc. The store only had 5 widescreen copies with the bonus disc at 9:00 in the morning. For Batman Begins they only received 3 copies with the bonus disc.

[JustinCleveland]

There were a couple dozen bonus discs at Wal Mart in State College, PA this morning at around 9:30 when I took a jog down there. 21 after tax.

[Struz]

I just picked it up at BB for $14.99 with free Litho for RZ members.

[ScottsDvds]

$11.99 w/ Best Buy Bucks at Best Buy.

[RockStrongo]

I just picked it up at BB for $14.99 with free Litho for RZ members.

Ditto....they had the Unleashed Darth Vader figurine at my BB. I already have it though. ;)

[Lecithin]

I got the widescreen EpIII with Bonus Disc at my local Wal-Mart Supercenter and it was the higher $19.96 price. I also went to Target and bought the Episode 1 DVD and got the $5 gift card (I only had the VHS of Ep1 thus far, so I needed to get it anyway.)

The Target receipt clearly says: "Special Promotion. Star Wars $14.99, Same Item Only If Open Refund Value: $9.99, Gift Card: 5.00 package Subtotal $19.99 -$5.00 Giftcard Free, Package Total $14.99. ALL ITEMS MUST BE RETURNED FOR FULL REFUND."

So there's your answer if you plan to buy an episode for the gift card and then return it for full price, you won't be able to.

[Altimus Prime]

Cranberry, PA WalMart

$14.84 for Ep III (which I bought)
$19.96 for Ep III with the alleged "bonus" disc.

Eps I and II on special for $8.84 (most FS, some WS available.) I got Ep II since it was the only one I needed.

Interesting, my total cost for the complete Star Wars Saga, I-VI, is $63.67, or $10.61 per movie. I got Ep I free on a Kelloggs promotion, and the trilogy for $39.99 at WalMart.

[Cshot]

Just picked up Ep3 at BB and got the Litho (almost free $0.01). I'm not even a Rewards Zone member and I guess the cashier thought I was when I paid with a gift card :)

[Josh H]

$15.99 with the coin at target. Didn't want the bonus disc for $5 and wasn't joining reward zone to get the litograph as I don't spend enough yearly at best buy to offset the membership cost.

[RockStrongo]

Just picked up Ep3 at BB and got the Litho (almost free $0.01). I'm not even a Rewards Zone member and I guess the cashier thought I was when I paid with a gift card :)

No, you got it for regular price. :p Us RZ members got it for free!!! Woohoo!!! In your face!!!

[eau]

No, you got it for regular price. :p Us RZ members got it for free!!! Woohoo!!! In your face!!!
The point is - you don't have to be a RZ member in order to get the lithograph (costs a cent). Couple of weeks ago the Cinderella litho rang up like $25 unless you were a RZ member.

[Altimus Prime]

I think the point is it's best if you just don't give a damn about getting a tiny poster, and get the DVD for the best price you can. ;)

[tanman]

So since basically no one is selling for $10 this year, what is the best freebie. The litho doesn't really look like anything amazing. How is the coin and the bonus DVD?

[xangelx]

Just picked up the DVD at my local FYE. $19.99 - $7 mail in rebate = $12.99

I can live with that.

[Bob330i]

So since basically no one is selling for $10 this year, what is the best freebie. The litho doesn't really look like anything amazing. How is the coin and the bonus DVD?

The litho was lame. I did the BBB route and got it w/o tax at $14.99. I guess the BBBs are treated as non taxable coupons when used on line.

If I had a choice with all prices being equal, I probably would have brought the Walmart bundle but I'm sure the coin was nicer than the litho.

[flix1]

At noon, the Wal-mart in Vernon Hills, IL still had a large display at the front door that had Bonus Discs available. The front of the display only had Full-Screen copies, but on each side of the display there were probably more than 30 Widescreen versions with Bonus Discs still available.

Cost was $19.96 before tax.

[eau]

I think the point is it's best if you just don't give a damn about getting a tiny poster, and get the DVD for the best price you can. ;)
Unless there is a cheaper place that I'm not aware of, I'll get mine from Best Buy since I have some BBBucks to burn anyway, making it $11.99, and I'll take that free litho too ;)

[Bob_F1]

That's what I did. I applied $6 in McDonalds Best Buy Bucks online and I just picked it up with the free litho for $8.99 + tax.

Edit: I did need to show my RewardZone card for the litho and it was put on a separate receipt with a $0.01 price although they didn't charge me the penny.)

Are you sure?

I think some cashier's just don't ask maybe. As soon as I laid down the DVD and litho, he immediately asked if I was a RZ member. I was under the impression that they won't sell it to someone who isn't a RZ member.

Oh well, its a POS litho anyways.

[Lemondrop]

But if the price isn't listed in the ad, as seems to be the case across the board with Ep III, how can you do the pricematch?

And I don't know if trying to explain to a WalMart employee that a price printed near an image of Ep III is in fact the price for Ep III is going to work.

Worked fine , wife had to speak with a manager who didn't wanna go for it but she explained the price at CC and that she would get a free litograph or Target at $14.99 and she got a freebie coin . Manager said OK and matched it at $14.99 with the bonus disc :)

Id say it's easier if you get a register worker who does not give a poo about Walmart earning a profit . My last trip the worker did not even bat a eye , she just changed the price . This time the worker gave my wife the "Uhh , I dunno if I can" .
So , if that's the case . I'd go solo with the movie and if the first shoots you down . Go get another and try a different register so not to have to be in a squabble with a walmart nazi .

[Duh Vuh Duh]

That may be true. Ive never done it before so I was wondering how it would work. I doubt anyone here is buying EP I + II so I may never though. Instead of wasting time I may just price match the $14.99 price at WalMart on the Bonus Disc. I just called and talked to a manager and he said they would do it.


19.96 at my WM. Does anyone know if Walmart price matches universally? Or if it is a case by case thing, like above where person talked to manager. I want to see if they will pricematch Target or something on the dvd with the bonus disc. Also, if they do pricematch, do you need the ad from the other store?

[bishop2knight]

Wow, that disc is a complete waste of $4 or whatever extra it cost. Full frame clips of the series with R2 and 3PO walking you through the events.

[xXBlackCrossXx]

yeah, the litho is nice btw. its not some terrible pos.

[Dabaomb]

For New Jersey ppl, Electronics Expo was advertising it for $12.99 (150 copies available). I was able to price match the ad to a Best Buy in NYC and I got the litho :D

[squaresoft7]

It seems to me that every store's bonus item was lame, my wal mart had so many 2 packs of bonus discs they had boxes stacked next to the display. Don't think the whole "limited issue" thing is that big of a deal. All the bonus disc is, is a space taker upper.

[ROBERTCOP34]

I got the 3 disc set from Wal-Mart for $15.99 WOW that $1.50 for that bonus disc works for me.

[PlumPeach]

My strategy was to go to K-Mart to get Ep III for $18.99 and then Ep I and II for $8.99 each. But I got schooled on the use of conjunctions by a young department manager. According to her the "or" in the ad only entitled me to one of the first two episodes for $8.99 and not both. Now had it said "and" then I would have been able to get both. She may be right but it seems to be a tad misleading. I then told her, "Oh yeah, now I remember why I never buy DVDs at K-Mart."

[Manzana]

Wow, that disc is a complete waste of $4 or whatever extra it cost. Full frame clips of the series with R2 and 3PO walking you through the events.
Is the Walmart bonus DVD really that lame? It says it's nearly an hour of material, so it's hard to believe they could come up with an hour of boringness. Was it especially made for Walmart recently or is it an older Star Wars special made for some other purpose?

By the way, the Walmart clerks as usual wouldn't pricematch the SW3 with the bonus DVD because it has to be the exact same item as what competitors sell (wrapping them together makes it a different item in Walmart's eyes, so I'm surprised some people have luck PM'ing these bonus DVDs). It didn't matter when I told them about BBY's lithograph or TGT's coin. This is the way it has always been for me whenever there is a bonus DVD at Walmart no matter who I talk to because they'd rather not make a sale than sell something for too little profit margin. And this is the same store where years ago I wanted to pricematch an ad for TDK VHS tapes (yes back in the VHS days) where the competitor's ad showed a T120 10 pack for something like $9.99 and Walmart only had 5 packs, so I brought up 2 5 packs and they said it was not the same item. I said 2 5 packs = 1 10 pack of the same item. It didn't matter. The only reason I ask now is because I'm already there checking out and I'm curious to see if they ever bend their rules... 5 years and counting and not a single exception.

[wolverine1028]

I went for the commemorative coin at Target for $14.99. At least I can use that as a "card guard" for poker. :)

[tanman]

I bought one with a bonus disc for $20 but don't know if I'll hold onto it or what. I saw the target coin and it is pretty nice. It comes in a nice plastic case. The front looks pretty good while the back is pretty lame. It is of Obi and Ani fighting but isn't that clear. I'll probably get that one too and see which one I keep.

It was so much easier when we just had to wonder who has the cheapest price. I hate that I care about the freebies.

[Novasonic]

Already posted this in the "Lithograph vs. Extra Disc" thread, but figured some people here would be interested:

For those still wondering, the coin seems to be the most collectable/coolest of the 3 choices (disc, lithograph, coin). I think it's pretty nice and it comes in a plastic case, like one of ones to keep it in mint condition. On the front it has Darth Vader and it says Limited Edition on the top and Star Wars Episode III on the bottom. On the back it has Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting with lightsabers and it says Limited Edition on the top again. Packaging-wise, it was attached to the box in this cool little holder under the shrinkwrap. The little cardboard holder says Target Exclusive Limited Edition Collectable Coin and it has this cool picture of Anakin and Obi Wan fighting. All in all, pretty nice, and I like the plastic case they put it in. I was thinking it would just be some junk thing.

[Hank1215]

East Portland Wal-Mart had the price with Bonus Disk as $19.96, but it rang up at the register as $15.96. Also Office Space had a price of $14.96, but rang up as $11.88. I can never figure out their pricing.

[TerryMcGinnis]

Is there a pic of the front and back of the Target coin anywhere? I've googled, went to theforce.net and am curious what the back looks like and how it's packaged. It's not plastic, but metal, right? Someone on the forum at theforce.net was saying that on the back of the coin, there are 2 people battling with swords as opposed to lightsabers. I hope Target still has the coin tomorrow, and with a widescreen DVD. Was anyone's Target already out of the coin? I am hoping to stop there after work tomorrow if it looks like Target got in plenty of copies.

My strategy was to go to K-Mart to get Ep III for $18.99 and then Ep I and II for $8.99 each. But I got schooled on the use of conjunctions by a young department manager. According to her the "or" in the ad only entitled me to one of the first two episodes for $8.99 and not both. Now had it said "and" then I would have been able to get both. She may be right but it seems to be a tad misleading. I then told her, "Oh yeah, now I remember why I never buy DVDs at K-Mart."

WalMart's prices were less, and there were no restrictions. If your local WalMart is like mine, you could've gotten Ep III for $14.84 and Ep I and II for $8.84 each.

I never even think of looking at Kmart for DVDs. I know they never have jack.

Is there a pic of the front and back of the Target coin anywhere?

Check the "litho vs. extra disc" thread. I would post the pic here, but it seems to be from the poster's ebay auction, so I don't want to screw with his bandwidth.

I went to BB and yes in my opinion the Litho was very lame. I went for the extra disk at Walmart.

I ended up with the coin. I agree, I think it is the most collectable out of the 3. The litho would just be garbage in a month (also, I don't think it looks good at all). The "Story of SW" sounds like crap. At least the coin looks cool, and maybe it will be worth $5 someday.

[darmok]

the coin is definitely the best collectible of the three.

anyone know if this is nationwide? I'd really like to snag the first 2 for cheap.

Nope. Walmart is always YMMV. Mine local one is 14.44

Circuit City has the first two for $9.99 each. That's about $5 less than they usually go for.

[jiggawhat]

I just read over on Fatwallet that someone bought EP3 for $9.99 at the Manhattan Beach Fry's. He said it was marked at 14.99 but rang at 9.99. Can someone confirm?

yeah thanks, I got them at target today for 14.99 each with a $5 gift card so as far as I'm concerned i got em for 9.99 each because target gift cards are as good as cash to me. Going to buy the beavis and butthead set from there tuesday.

When they opened on Wednesday morning, my Target was out of every single Star Wars III and said they don't expect to get any more with the coin. I don't know if that's true all across the US or just in certain areas. I guess I'll have to stick with the stupid Best Buy lithograph.

I went last night, after work, and plenty of WS and FS Ep III with coin at the N. Austin SuperTarget (Parmer and I-35). I had to do a swap because I mistakenly had picked up FS the day before. Hadn't done that in a while.

Is there a pic of the front and back of the Target coin anywhere? I've googled, went to theforce.net and am curious what the back looks like and how it's packaged. It's not plastic, but metal, right? Someone on the forum at theforce.net was saying that on the back of the coin, there are 2 people battling with swords as opposed to lightsabers. I hope Target still has the coin tomorrow, and with a widescreen DVD. Was anyone's Target already out of the coin? I am hoping to stop there after work tomorrow if it looks like Target got in plenty of copies.

The coin is metal. There is a foam ring to protect the edge of the coin. The coin is housed in a plastic protective case.

One side of the coin is Darth Vader and the other side is the Anakin-ObiWan saber duel.

Picked it up today for $13 new and a "coupon" for $2 off any other DVD.

Went to the local Target here in Wilmington, NC last night. They had plenty of FS w/coin and about 15 WS w/coin. Got one for 14.99. (Someone had stolen one of the coins off the package--the jerk!)

$18.49 at Costco

For those in Toronto, you can pick up ROTS for $14.87 today only at Zellers. Ad was in yesterday's Toronto Star, and is also available online at their website.
