Is this enough? Or are there any other "big" new releases?

Is the Battlestar Galactica (2004): The Complete Series (Limited Edition) "With Cylon Figurine" a WalMart Exclusive or is the figurine available everywhere?

Imagine if there had been 3 or 4 of them. Wouldn't that have sucked!
I'm glad that there is pretty much nothing exclusive to the collection, as I have bought all the individual sets so far.
I may double dip and get the complete blu-ray once it drops below $100, to save space and get it in HD of course.

If I'm not mistaken, there is some exclusive content in the comprehensive BSG set, but also stuff that is LEFT OFF from previous editions. I'll have to check with TheDigitalBits.com to be sure...

^ That sucks. But I think I'll just wait a year until the "Really Complete" set with The Plan and Caprica comes out.

Okay, I just checked and here's what TheDigitalBits.com had to say a few months ago about the complete series:
Speaking of Universal, the studio has also officially announced the complete slate of extras that will be included on the forthcoming Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series Blu-ray Disc box set (due 7/28 - SRP $349.98). Rather than listing everything (you can see the full list here), let me run down what's new on Blu-ray and what's not included from the previous DVDs...
Nearly everything that was on the previous DVD sets will be included on the Blu-ray with a few exceptions (so you may want to keep the previous DVDs as follows):
The Battlestar Galactica: The Lowdown featurette (40 mins), which was on the original stand-alone DVD release of the miniseries, is not included in its original form. Parts of it, however, have been incorporated into the PIP feature on the Miniseries portion of the Blu-ray (as was the case with the HD-DVD release).
The Battlestar Galactica: The Series - The Lowdown featurette (20 mins), which was on the original Season 1 DVD release, is not included. (This was originally seen as a Sci-Fi Channel special.)
The Making of Battlestar Galactica: Razor featurette from the Best Buy-exclusive DVD bonus disc (sold with Razor at Best Buy stores) is not included.

Target's "exclusive disc" is only packaged with the two-disc DVD and features two more Justice League episodes -- "In Blackest Night" Parts 1 & 2. I already have that series on DVD, so I got the Green-ray instead.

If I wasn't already getting this from Moviestop for even cheaper, I'd be all over this one....I can't see how DD is going to fill all their orders, that's almost $200 off of the MSRP, nearly a 57% discount!!

It's my favorite show, and I could upgrade for maybe $50 net if I sold all my SDs, but I'm not biting. It's not complete, and I predict it will be found for $100 within a year.

Anyone know prices on the Spectacular Spider-man first season? I've seen it listed as $18.99 on some places online but I'd rather pick it up in store which may be different and wonder if any place has it cheaper.

Pretty sure I saw it at all of the big three for $20, but don't quote me.
