The Goonies Rumor - 11/17/09 (Target Exclusive)

From the wonderful guys over at The Digital Bits

We're also hearing (consider this Rumor Mill-worthy) that Target will have another pair of exclusives on 11/17: Gone with the Wind (in a similar BD + DVD/Blu-case configuration, sans all the big box swag) and Goonies. We'll confirm the latter as soon as we can.

I will be sooo excited if this comes true. 'Goonies' is definitely a top 5 favorite movie of all time. Although being a target exclusive makes me think that the special features department hasn't been revisited - which I was hoping for since this year marks the film's 25th anniversary.

Definite Buy if this comes out.

GizmoDVD · 09-24-09, 06:50 PM

Ya know, the BDs been out for over a year in the UK and can be had for $20 or less...Region free too

I saw a scan of this coming week's ad at blu-ray.com that showed gremlins and wizard of oz (non ultimate) coming out at Target as well. Looks like Best Buy isn't the only one with exclusive time frames anymore.

Yea, well... how's it look?

GizmoDVD · 09-24-09, 07:49 PM

Decent for a 20 year old flick. Its been a while since I've seen it, but I'd sage a 3.5 on both PQ/AQ. Has a TrueHD track as well!

So, I guess now the million $ question is whether or not the US version will be a new transfer or not. I'd put my money on not, but I've gone this long w/o it on BD. I can wait until Nov.

I think I just messed myself... if the Goonies are coming soon then I will be very happy. I cant even count how many hundreads of times I have watched it since i saw it since its intial theatrical release.

critterdvd · 01-27-10, 12:00 PM

Blu-ray just posted that "The Goonies: 25th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition" for November 9th!

I think this is probably the one and only time that not only will I purchase the swag box version, but actually want to purchase it!

GizmoDVD · 01-27-10, 12:52 PM

I'll keep my $15 UK copy . Don't need a big box with useless shit in it.

Ditto. Here's one case where being impatient and importing was actually to my advantage.

November? That is a fucking long ways away. Hurry the hell up!

~$20 shipped considering the conversion. When VAT comes off it's 9.26 GBP plus 3.08 Air Mail. And I've gotten stuff faster from them than Amazon US in many cases.

Unless they're producing brand new extras, IIRC, all the existing bonus material were made in SD with the exception of the theatrical trailer.

Are the extras on the UK Blu-ray in NTSC or PAL?

That I don't know - I haven't watched them and my player would handle it anyway so I'm not sure I'd notice.

I seem to remember most WB Blu-ray's in the UK being pretty much the same as the US release so this could mean SD extras are NTSC but I can't be sure.

Warner Brothers is producing a lot of new features for the release. The cast have been asked to record yet another commentary as well as participate in a documentary being made for the release.
