Thanks for collecting these. Too bad none of the exclusives work with the Ultimate Box Set.

You can probably get the lithograph at CC. If it is like Star Wars, they just hand it to you at the customer service counter...

We are being told at Transworld Fye,Coconuts, etc... That we have an exclusive Lunchbox edition. I'll confirm once I have seen it.

Get used to it. It's pretty much going to be the norm from now on.

I think BB's exclusive seems to have the most worth. Lenticular packaging really doesn't impress me all that much.

digitalfreaknyc 11-21-06 09:59 AM

What's that bonus DVD at CC??

digidoh 11-21-06 10:02 AM

Wal-Mart has a bonus DVD of the Justice League animated series and a comic book, reprinting "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", the last Superman story edited by Julius Schwartz.

'The Science of Superman' was a documentary on National Geographic around the time SR was released.

Spend $13.99 now or wait until 2009 for a possible better edition? I think I'll pull the trigger this coming week. :)

IG80Nate 11-21-06 10:44 AM

Um do any of them come with a copy of a better movie?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap!

Trevor 11-28-06 05:55 PM

FYE stores have it in a metal lunchbox with a comic book and cover collection.

Anyone buy this and open it yet? Is the DVD inside still sealed and easily giftable?

I already bought it at Target, but would love this lunchbox if I didn't get stuck with an extra copy of the movie.

dpz301 11-28-06 08:19 PM

i wish you could get a deal somewhere on the extras and not have to buy 3 copies of the movie, grrr. like the best buy deal, 10 bucks for the figure is cool, but 30 dollars if you don't get a superman item with it, is insane.

gerrythedon 11-28-06 08:27 PM

So anyone who got it at CC, is there actually a bonus DVD inside as stated in their exclusive slipcase [but actual DVD lloks the same as the other 2 discer's]? It looks and feels the same to me, I haven't opened it yet. Got it for $13.99 at CC instore [price mistake on their web site]

Filmmaker 11-28-06 09:13 PM

Yes, the third (bonus) disc is inside the case, in a nondescript white sleeve.

Thank U.

dvdphilic 11-28-06 09:15 PM

Can someone who bought the Target exclusive edition of Superman Returns tell us where the exclusive bonus feature is located? Is there a third disc inside? Thanks.

xage 11-28-06 10:59 PM

I bought the Target and FYE Exclusives


dvdphilic 11-29-06 01:00 AM

My question has not been answered. Target's edition says there are 2 Superman 1940 Radio Shows in the DVD. I'd like to know where this special feature is located. Is it inside the case on the third disc? Or is it added on the 2nd disc of regular special edition? From outside there's no way to tell where that special feature is located. I don't want to open it and end up getting the same as a regular special edition. So if somebody opens your own Target copy, I'd appreicate it if you could tell us what inside looks like and where to find that bonus feature.

JohnIan 11-29-06 03:43 AM

DVDphilic it's inside the case in a seperate cardboard/pocket thingie. It has artwork on the back and front. Like the Circuit City exclusive. Nice. Not some bland disc sleeve.

As for knowing. There's a sticker on the slip cover that says it has the bonus disc.

I don't want to come off being an ass, but I'm very confused why this simple thing is so hard. It playing the Sesame Street game, "one of these things is not like the other". I rarely ask for help. I look in the new releases area, reading stickers and shaking cases for loose discs. If I can't find it, such as with the bonus disc for "Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier" I go to the main DVD area and look under the appropriate genre. Nine times out of ten, there it is.

I think the reason is time, you only have so much time to search for any particular title. That's the only thing that pops in my head, 'cause I'm all fuzzy on this difficulty.

Oh, that CD with the radio plays has been remastered. I gave it a listen, there are still some snaps and pops. But I imagine what I'm hearing is far better quality than the original source.

bwa 11-29-06 06:00 AM

I was wondering about that Target bonus CD with the radio shows, too. Could someone tell me which two episodes are on the CD? The first two episodes telling the origin story would seem like a logical choice, but the sticker says that there are two 30-minute episodes. I'm pretty sure the early episodes, and maybe all of them for all I know, were a little under 15-minutes each. Were these episodes really 30 minutes each? Thanks in advance!

Hope this help your unanswered thoughts :

Umm, read DVDphilic's post again, read the sticker, then read your answer. DVDphilic knew perfectly well that the Target DVDs said that they had the exclusive bonus feature. If you read the sticker, you'll see that it says it has exclusive features, but the sticker DOES NOT say anything whatsoever about them being on a "Bonus DVD". DVDphilic clearly asked whether they were on a third disc or whether they were part of a differently formatted second disc.

You are the one that wasn't able to comprehend a simple question. Yes, "one of these things is not like the other", but the question was HOW they were different, which couldn't be told without opening the package.
