Wal-Mart bonus disc menu.
Target bonus disc menus.
I passed on getting that lenticular poster. Reading these post; I'm leaving now and picking one up. I'd like to get that tin, but I know that ship has sailed this afternoon.

They didn't have a whole heck of alot of these at the Super Target I went to. They may have sold out, by this time.

The Target I went to had the 2-Disc Cars set FAR AWAY from the 1-Disc (which was all over the store). It was no where near the New Release Section. It was on a side shelf next to the TV sets and they only had 8 of each (Widescreen & FoolScreen).

same here -- the Target 2-disc sets were on the side aisle, where the kids video section was. they didn't even put any out in the new release shelf, probably because it takes up two rows, which is valuable front-aisle space. also, i had to walk over to the electronics department to ask for the free blinking pin (i found out after asking the video department floor guy).

Of course, the Circuit City exclusive Star Wars lithos produced for the recent Star Wars DVD relaunch were no slouch in the well-done department (and of course, they also quickly sold-out). If only more bonus lithos were like those of CC's SW and BB's Cars, because nine times out of ten I can care less about bonus dvds.

Yup. The Target in Niles, Illinois only had five copies (all widescreen) for the Target Exclusive 2 Pack with Rev'D Up DVD (they did let you take as many light up Lightning McQueen Pins) - they were in a fish bowl near the checkouts - the cashier didnt mind!
Wal-Mart in Skokie, IL has the single disk for $13.87 and the dual dvd set for $19.96 and Best Buy in Skokie had three sets of the die cast cars and tons of lenticular posters as of 2:30PM today.
Watching the movie [again!!] as I type this!
Good luck to all!

Let me see if we have any left." She came back, and said that they had a few, and she would hold one for me, if I wanted it. So, I headed on over, and picked it up. It's pretty nice! By the way, the ONLY popcorn tin's I saw featured Disney Princess characters, including Ariel, on them. I did not see any with Cars characters. So, I take it that the lady I spoke with last night had NO IDEA what she was talking about.

For crying out loud! This whole Blockbuster Cars DVD tin thing has been so much more confusing than it needed to be. I'm just glad that I was able to pick up a copy with the DVD tin.

Went and checked out the BB tin, and passed - it's kinda flimsy for a tin, and doesn't say anything on it's spine - I went with the Target bonus disc as the best deal, as it has pretty solid extras that really add to the dvd, and makes up for it's initial lack of extras.
Oh, and I wouldn't touch the Wal-Mart bonus disc with K-Fed's dick - it's just lame promotion for that stupid fucking Life is a Highway song that I really hate, which I feel comes close to ruining the movie - I want to claw my ears out each time I hear it.

BTW : Don't forget you can save $5 on Cars by preordering POTC : Dead Man's Chest at BB. Apparently you can't do that if you've already preordered Cars, though.

I had to go back today for a card and saw what I missed. Only this time the section where they were was empty. I felt like such an idiot. If I had only looked left
Maybe they'll put more out in a day or two.

I got Cars at bestbuy with the 3d poster today. I don't have any kids and I am still going to frame it and hang it in my dvd room. I love it. I got $5 off for preordering POTC. She had to take it off manually. I used the 10% off coupon that they sent for dvd's through the mail, since I was buying another dvd. It wouldn't take it off cars since it was on sale, but it took 50 cents off the $5.00 I put down on the preorder and she let me keep the coupon to use again.

I asked the cashier at BB today if I could take a look at the 3D poster, simply because I was curious. It's pretty cool, but with this month being expensive as it is (video games) I don't know if I want to buy another copy of the movie just for the poster. Maybe if I can find my best buy bucks...

Yeah, that's the one, the one with the freaking commentary tracks, tons of artwork, behind the scenes, and advertising extras. #!@$!!!... so, um, which version is better Walmart's or Target's?

I checked one the Targets nearest me and they didn't have the bonus disc. I looked in every nook and cranny where it might be. I looked real close on the price and it said "Collectible Pin while supplies last" in fine type. Well, I did see those. Might try another target tonight.

i was in circuit city and the cashier gave me the download card as well, which is pretty lame,as its just a folded piece of paper (not even a gift card type thing) I figured i would throw it in the tin case as well though. The only extra i have missed is the Best Buy litho, which I have no want. Lithos are the exact wrong size for me....i either want something small enough to fit in the case, or a full size poster
