I just came back from Best Buy with Episode III and the lithograph. I don't have a reward zone card, so they charged me $0.01 for the lithograph. And, from the looks of it, that's about what it's worth.

Agreed....A scene from the movie would have been better. This was a crappy attempt from Lucas. Those apprentice fools must not have come up with any good ideas.

It's a cartoony partial profile of the Darth Vader mask in black, orange, and yellow, with some sort of rays (reflection, heat??) emanating from it, and a SWIII logo.

At least the Batman Begins lithograph came with a scene from the film.

Perhaps his Vader sense is tingling.

Not the best litho, but since it was free I took it. BB had the best price for the dvd anyway.

Personally I like the front cover sleeve of the lithograph better than the actual lithograph. I think that picture would have made a way better lithograph.

WalMart does suck. Since I'm a sucker for Bonus Disc material, I bought from WalMart at the higher price (19.96). They have the gall to call it a bonus disc instead of an Ultra pack or something. Any "bonus discs" from Best Buy/Circuit City have always been included at no extra cost. Granted these type of things are limited and it's first come first served but that's the gimmick. Not a rip-off tatic. It just pisses me off that I will now only buy from them as a last resort.

I also agree with this comment. The images on the outer sleeve set you up for a big disappointment. I felt like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" when he decodes the Ovaltine ad.

Fear is the path to the dark side.

Anger leads to hate.

It's tough to get some. To date I still have not seen Layer Cake stocked in widescreen. FS always seems to outnumber it.

Not in my town. Walmart people here scratch their heads, then their butts then mumble something about them not pricematching in this store.

You should contact 1-800-WAL-MART and file a complaint. If your local Wal-Mart store is traited as a competition store, the HAVE to price-match per Wal-Mart corporate policy and you as the customer are NOT required to have the ad of the local competitor. If corporate finds out that your local store is not price-matching and they should be, the Store Manager of that store will be in hot water. When you call 1-800-WAL-MART or write to them on Walmart.com about the store it shows up as a "Letter To The President" on the Store Manager's PC and they have 48 hours to respond to you the customer or they have to answer to their District Manager.

It's worth a shot by calling and filing and inquiry.
