Universal Soldier/Lock Up and Red Heat/Running Man are the only 2 I don't have at least 1 of the BDs in the set (well, and Angel Heart/Johnny Handsome neither of which I've ever seen). So I'm considering Red Heat/Running Man. It's so good its picture is shown twice above! :-)
It says preorder on the web site, so obviously this is not yet in retail stores. Perhaps I could use my lingering $10.xx Iron Man 2 e-credit on this one. Now I need to read the BD reviews for Red Heat and Running Man. Without having done so, I'll already make 1 giant assumption: Both of these titles were BD-25 single layer discs probably missing special features from the previous DVD releases and they've now dumped them together on a single BD-50.
I hope it's safe to assume that reviews of the tranfers (video/audio quality) remain the same as the previous BD versions. It'll be months before DVD Basen has any reviews, but maybe Amazon will get a couple user reviews within a couple weeks of release.

They're out at my store (in Mississippi). I bought the Crank/Crank 2 set and, indeed, it's NOT a repressing but merely the original discs repackaged in a two-pack. In fact, the Crank 2 disc says "Disc 1," since it was originally released with a digital copy disc.

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
A few things, all the ones I seen had special features listed on back and these are out early at 2 of the Walmarts I went to. I haven't openned the 2 I got yet cause my Mom got them for me as Christmas presents. Also they were listed at a higher price on WalMart.com when I check last. They are $10 instore.
Or Amazon could just make them $10 instead of $10.99 and I'd order from Amazon.

Here's a big YMMV one, but I was Wal-Mart tonight, and they had a big $5 clearance bin with DVDs, Blu-rays, and about two hundred copies of AC/DC's "Black Ice" CD.
Anyway, I picked up Beowulf, Cloverfield, Underworld, and all three Lord of the Rings blus for $30 plus tax. The LOTR blus were the Blu-ray+DVD combo pack that doesn't include the special features discs -- which I don't care about since I already have them on DVD.
Looks like they were blowing out the $12 titles they've had for the past month or two in addition to the Wal-Mart exclusive LOTR discs.

Ordered Tai Chi Master for $7.50, I was able to upgrade 3 of my favorite Jet Li films this week on blu-ray, for fairly cheap. I will be getting Seven Swords also.

Never seen The Lord of the Rings trilogy but I'd blind buy those and possibly Cloverfield for that price. Even $12 isn't terrible.

My local Walmarts don't have the 2-pack BDs for $10 put out yet. The employees I ask don't remember having seen them yet, but that does't mean much since most of them know very little about what they sell or what they have in stock. Hopefully on the 23rd or whenever that release date was Universal Soldier/Lock Up and Red Heat/Running Man BD packs will appear at mine.

I saw Kingdom Of Heaven: Director's Cut, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Red Heat / The Running Man, Rambo 1 and 4, Rocky combo pack, and many others all for $10 in a cardboard display.
Tai Chi Master (Blu-ray) for $7.50 on Blu-Ray? Now that's a deal I don't think I can pass up. Thanks for the heads up on that one guys.

Weren't there issues with the quality of Tai Chi Master and Fong Sai Yuk on blu-ray? I've passed on them, hoping to get a better copy at some future point.

^ Is the DVD a better why to go then?
I'd like to add that I saw Logan's Run for $10 as well. I almost bought it. I wonder if it's stood the test of time well?

Thanks ... I picked up my "site to store" order yesterday and it was the Evil Dead LE. Looks like I can return my Best Buy regular version now.

As to whether it has held up over time, it does look a bit dated in style and some of the effects are a bit primitive, although it is still a reasonably entertaining sci-fi movie. If you don't want to spend the $8 you could just Netflix it if you have an account.

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
stopped by my local WalMart tonight to see if they had any on the $5 Dump bin but as always that thing was turned over.
They did however have a new endcap with a majority of new $8 titles as well as a couple of $12 titles.
I took several photo's with my cell so will try to list the titles from there...
Harts War
Hellboy animated double feature (not sure of titles)
Tomb Raider
Navy Seals
Ninja (?)
The Punisher (Jane/Travolta)
Rescue Dawn
Reservoir Dogs
Righteous Kill
Ronin
Species
Live & Die In LA
War
Windtalkers
Young Guns
Silence Of The Lambs
Flyboys
The Terminator
Proposition
3:10 To Yuma ($12)
The Bank Job ($12)
Bangkok Dangerous ($12)
Battle Of Britain
Major League
The Usual Supects
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Without A Paddle
Bulletproof Monk
Chaos
Crank
The Thomas Crown Affair (Brosnan/Russo)
Basic Instinct
Hoosiers
I think that was pretty much everything. I picked up 'Proposition' after hearing/reading positive reviews

I checked another Walmart and found Cloverfield and Beowulf BDs, but they rang up $12 instead of $5, so I passed. They also had the 2-pack sets I wanted on DVD only and no sign of them in BD.

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The $10 2-pack DVDs finally appeared at my 2nd closest Walmart, so I got Red Heat/Running Man and Universal Soldier/Lock Up BDs for $10 each. No sign of these elusive $5 clearance BDs at 4 Walmarts I looked at. A week or two ago 1 of them did have a bin with Lord of the Rings and some other BDs, but they had $12 price tags on them.
As for $8 BD titles, I only saw Ninja, Zack and Miri, and Outlander (new) mixed in with a bunch of $8 DVDs. The BDs did scan at $8 since this Walmart actually had a working scanner nearby (I find the scanners at most Walmart are usually broken with some sort of error message).

This was in the $5 bin at one of the local WM's but I'd never heard of it so I passed at the time.
