Does anyone know if the Best Buy 36.99 price is only for online purchase? Reason i ask is on their site says "on sale" then "on sale online only".

That's because you can't buy it at a BB B&M store until next week. Until then it is available online only.

thanks kev9228 for the info...guess part of my rant can be ignored now, lol

Definately picking up the Target one now, thanks.

that book that was brought up is being released with
2 covers
HEROES HC ALEX ROSS COVER isbn 1401217052
HEROES HC JIM LEE COVER isbn 1401217095
retail is 29.xx

i buy direct from diamond not sure what my cost is but i think its
going to be around 18 bucks
i can order for people just not sure with shipping that it will
save you much

See the B+N thread, you can get the regular version for 27.xx(depends on local tax rate) combining the paypal discount and 10% discount link.

yeah,thanks Kev....i'll be at Target bright and early on Tuesday

During 30 Rock last night, they ran an ad for Bionic Woman that included a mention of buying Heroes at Wal-Mart. It said you'd get a "sneek peek" at BW when buying Heroes, available Tuesday at WM. Has anyone heard anything about this? I wonder whether they're going to include the pilot episode or something.

Thanks for the info, Kev. I'll be right outside Target bright and early as well!

I hope mine has it. I can't even tell you how many times I went there for the exclusive on a Tuesday and they had no clue what I was talking about. When I showed it to them in their own ad, (without even checking), they would just tell me, "Oh, it wasn't on the delivery truck. We don't have it." That better not happen this time!

I wonder if this is from the Museum of Television & Radio panel they did back on March?

I am sure it is. Both Dexter and Ugly Betty had a bonus disc like that at Target this week. They must have some sort of exclusive arrangement.

The store that shall not be named will have this for 37.99 with exclusive trading cards and a 5$ off gift certificate for t-shirts at the NBC online store.

approx. how many tv sets does Target usually get on opening? reason i ask is cause i won't be able to make it till at least 3:00pm...

trading cards? that confirms it, i'm goin to target on tuesday morning

Just got my copy from B&N for 29.73 using the $10 off $40 coupon and the B&N link paying for it through paypal.

Would Target Price Match the exclusive set for the Best Buy price, or are Best Buy and Circuit City, and Walmart the only ones that do that?......and can you even price match exclusives? Might be worth a try, Price one exclusive set versus another exlusive set. They'll both be in the regular print ads I'm sure.

^ i've asked three different targets on three different occasions if they price match and they all said NO. so it's doubtful you will be able to find anyone, even a manager, who may price match for you. as well, since target is selling both the "regular" edition sold everywhere else in addition to their own "deluxe" edition, if they did price match, it probably would only be for the regular edition.

Target as a company doesn't price match

Supernatural Season 1 had theirs as a Best Buy exclusive bonus disc!

Here where I live I went in one time [I went in for something else at the time] to see if they price matched and everyone all the way up to ass. manager [manager was downtown at a meeting] and they all said yes and I went back out to my car and brought in the ad and they price matched the item for me. Here, also every major store who carried video's said the same thing to me.
I worked at a major retailer for over 20 years [manager of my department] and I can tell you that in today's market they all want your business and they will do just about anything to keep you or get you to come into their store. I can't say that about every city in USA but in this city they all want your business !
Now, as for the exclusive slipcover [I would suggest you look up what exclusive means then ask the question again.
Besides all were talking about is $1 36.99 for BB and 37.99 for Target. For me I could care less about the slipcover or the comic book, each store is providing "exclusive" with their product to get you to buy from them so ask yourself what is more important to "you" ?, slipcover, extra disc[45 minutes] & replica's of Issac's paintings or comic book or whatever other store is giving away to get you to buy it from them.

That may be the case in your city, but Target made the decision 2-3 years ago to stop pricematching. It is their Corporate policy, and is not meant to be the individual store's decision. Huge YMMV on pricematching at Target.

There is a bigger difference in price in this case. The regular version at Target is $37.99 but the exclusive version is $44.99. So that is a $8 difference between BestBuy's ($36.99) and Target's exclusives. So the question is: do you want a comic book for $8 less, or a slipcover, bonus disc and mini paintings for $8 more.

I read in another thread about a 5 off 25 coupon that would make the Target exclusive $39.99, what is that about?

There's another thread about Heroes?

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but yes. That unnecessary one about Target's exclusive price.

I'm wondering about this too. Guess I'll have to wait and see when I go to Wal-Mart tomorrow.
