We have double digit active threads about Heroes.
This is the first time in my 8 years here that I wished I was a mod.

did a google search. looks like someone posted this $5 off $25 coupon at SD. it says "void if copied" but if it's a printed scan, is that the same thing? i guess it might be YMMV, but i'll be there tomorrow morning to try and get heroes deluxe for $39.99. good luck to everyone else who wants to use this also!
scan is pretty huge, so here's a link to it full-size:

I highly doubt that coupon will work but I guess its worth a try. Does anyone know if Wal-Mart is going to have like a display pallet for the Heroes DVD? The reason I ask is because I won't be able to get to the store until around 6PM tomorrow and I dont want them to sell out before I can get there.

It's worked for several posters over on the SD Boards. Might be YMMV.

I just got back from Walmart. I was there when the Heroes sets were still in the boxes on the floor. I picked up one before anyone in my town.
Just thought y'all might like to know that Walmart has it for $36.99, tying for the lowest in-store price with Best Buy, so no need for price matching, though I took a sales paper along just in case. ALSO, Walmart actually has one of the better exclusives. It comes with an Exclusive Bonus Disc with four complete episodes of Friday Night Lights and a Sneak Peek at Bionic Woman. The disc is packaged inside the box set in a little paper sleeve along with the other inserts. Too bad the extras have nothing to do with the Heroes show itself but rather to promote NBCs other fall line up. It's better than trading cards though in my opinion. Hope this helps somebody.

You're 100% right about it being promotion, but that'd be like having the Dexter Q&A bonus disc come with the Ugly Betty s1 set and vice versa. Content-wise, it doesn't make sense.

Yeah, Target's is still the best no doubt, but if you're all about bonus discs, it's still better probably than some trading cards or little pictures or whatever some of those other ones are.

Did it look like they were getting a good stock of the Heroes sets ? I just hope my Wal-Mart still has some when I get to them. Also the Bionic Woman preview is it just like a preview or do they give you the pilot episode?

I used the $5 off coupon at Target this morning and it worked with no problems. It took a minute for the scanner to finally read the thing, but that's it. It showed right up in the computer so I got the Collector's Edition for $39.99. Here's hoping it works for The Office and 30 Rock next week!
The Wal-Mart edition sounds really good though. I wouldn't have minded getting 4 episodes of FNL is check out. Oh well, I'd rather have Heroes exclusives.
BTW, it looked like my Target had around 10 of the special edition sets. They were sitting on the top shelf in between the regular edition and Friday Night Lights.

Used the $5 off $25 this morning at my Target. Buying the exclusive with the coupon, Friday Night Lights, and using a $5 gift card from buying South Park last week, my total came to $60 and some change, which makes me pretty happy!
Hoping the coupon works again next week so I can pick up The Office S:3 with the exclusive @ Target, but not counting on it since the bar code didn't even scan in. Getting a cashier to make that sort of effort seems like it's rarely if ever going to happen again.

went to Target this morning and they had 1 copy in the whole store.
here are some pictures...not the greatest quality but will give you an idea of what it looks like
BTW: The inside box itself seems to be specially made for Target as it lists Disc 8 and also the bonus disc has character profiles as well as the Paley Interview

How many episodes are there, and was this an hour show? I saw one or two episodes last year and liked it and I remember thinking "I'll catch this on DVD".
And the $36.99 at Wal-Mart with the bonus disk sounds great to me. My plan would be to watch it then sell it on ebay for $30 or so which is what I did with LOST Season 1 and Desperate Housewives Season 1.

Has anyone looked at the inside of the normal retail box to see what the differences are between that and the Target edition?
Also, Borders has an exclusive sticker with the Heroes set.

Thanks for the coupon, it did work. I chose (I think) 4x9 option when printing as I thought half a page would be too big (though as early as it was, I doubt the cashier could care less).
