Star Wars already being sold at Target

MPLSVOL · 10-30-08, 11:24 AM

New Colelctor's set sare on the floor here in Minneapolis. Asked the clerk who said they were directed to put them out this week. May want to check stores in your city.

Rammsteinfan · 10-30-08, 11:39 AM

Saw them both at the Hayward CA location as well.

i heard somewhere they are in slimcases?

foofighters7 · 10-30-08, 12:26 PM

Ok, so Im not really suposed to be telling all this.. But, oh well I had a good run.

Lucas NEEDS MONEY. Its a secret and very few know and fewer still know all.

On Skywalker Ranch, Lucas has some plans in action...

he's working on building a, to scale, completly functioning Deathstar.

Why else did you think Gas prices were so high earlier on?? DUH-he was using all the fuel to get this thing up and running..
Amazingly, it actually takes alot of fuel to get a giant moon-sized metal object out of the planets gravitational pull !..

Anyways,, so now he's got the fuel held back, that part is done.

Also, have you noticed there isnt as much talk about hobo's anymore? Whatever the hell happened to bindles? Yeah same question I've been asking...that is.. until I poked my nose to far into Lucas' affairs.. Lets just say he's giving guys food and clothing...that is.. if you call white and black plasticy-looking full bodysuit armor, clothing...

It makes perfect sense once you think about it....ok actually it makes no sense,, BUT,,IF you KNOW Lucas then the fact that it makes NO sense ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE!!!

Hey,, who are you? How did you get in here? I'll have you know this is a Private residence! Hey! Thats my toaster! You cant do that!! Sir you better believe your going to get a bill for,, ashtawythgays,.bn.gs'b; gtarnj//

Yup! Saw the prequel set just now. Three slimcases in a cardboard box.

I'd love to trade in my DVDs for these slim cases, but I'm not doing another rebuy until Blu-ray.

for some reason I picture you posting saying something like "Worst Post Ever", as you don a Jar Jar T-shirt.

jk,jk.. no was just wasting time. funny or not I dont care.

Bottom line, I cannot POSSIBLY understand why these are coming out other than to be out for the Holiday season, tricking unsuspecting goofy Star Wars fans into making yet another purchase...

Im a Star Wars fan, but seriously, has Lucas ever heard of Overkill? How about that bloody Retarded Star Wars animated crapfest that came out awhile back??

I checked and see nothing extra on these releases that make them worth buying, thats for sure!

bigjim25 · 10-30-08, 01:54 PM

Saw them in Charleston WV also.

Zbu · 10-30-08, 02:11 PM

I'm very tempted since I don't have any of the movies on DVD yet. I gotta think about this now.

theflicker · 10-30-08, 02:38 PM

I resisted when Lucas finally relented and included non-anamorphic theatrical cuts on dvd, I think I'll just wait for bluray now.

Unless of course these sets hit dirt cheap, which they should as dvd begins to wane.

kenbenobi · 10-30-08, 02:39 PM

I saw this at my Target on Tuesday as well. I didn't realize it was early though. No interest. I already have em, like most of us probably do...

Neither is this.

Guess what? You don't have to buy these. *GASP* I know! Shocking isn't it?

There's some people out there who'd like the Prequel Trilogy in a box set next to the OT box set. And hell if they wanna make a new OT box set that matches(well a lil bit) the Prequel Trilogy that's fine with me.

I actually quite liked the animated Clone Wars (movie and series). It's what the prequel trilogy SHOULD have been. More evidence that the less involved Lucas himself is, the better the results.

For everyone bashing Lucas for re-re-re-releasing the trilogy in yet another almost identical set, I say to you he is FAR from the worst offender. Come on, how many different versions are out there of Evil Dead 1,2, and 3(Army/Darkness)?? How many billion versions of Halloween? What about EVERY title Universal has ever put out, with their regular version, then special edition, collector's edition, Ultimate edition....

No. It's the usual lame Lucas bashing garbage that occurs all the time.

It's hip and cool to bash him. And to ignore all the groundbreaking things he's done for the film industry.

So much so that people whine and cry about simple re-releases that they don't have to buy.

You realize the re-release is cause stores wanted a new edition to sell alongside the Clone Wars DVD/Blu-Ray that comes out this month. Or did you forget that little tidbit when you were rushing to start bashing Lucas.
