I pre-ordered mine at Suncoast and when I went in, the clerk told me they only had enough for the people who pre-ordered. No extras would be put on the shelves.
He had the Steelbooks in a box behind the counter, hidden away.

Got my Autobot one this morning when they opened. They had a few extra Decepticon ones on the shelf, but the rest were behind the counter.
My Steelbook did have a loose disc, but luckly no scratches at all. I did notice something odd though. There was a small piece of dirt in the Steelbook when I opened it. It was in the lower left corner and it was brown. So it was dirt, and not just some dust. I just brushed it off and went on about my day, but I'm wondering about it now.
What the heck was it and should I be concerned about it? Seriously I'm a little OCD about things and this is bothering me. Its probably just some dirt or something from when they packaged them, but how in the world did it happen? I thought the DVD plants were supposed to be pretty clean, etc...

picked up both my autobot and decepticon steelbooks today. gotta say, they're awesome. way cooler than i expected them to be based on the pictures. i thought they'd have a more matted feel like the fox r1 steelbooks, but was pleasantly surprised to see the glossy, embossed cover.
my store had only enough to cover pre-orders, held behind the counter for people picking up. no extras to be found, but this was at around 5ish after work. they might've had some available in the morning.

and i rechecked the futureshop ones, and i was wrong, they are 2-disc... the only prob. with futureshop is u cant orfer them to the U.S. cause they're in Canada...
unless im wrong again..

a steelbook with logos on both sides seems odd to me though. i feel like the back SHOULD be empty or with info and not another cover-type pic. so while it would've been cheaper to get that steelbook, i'm happy with my two individual transworld steelbooks.

i tried to pre-order and they said they didn't have any left, but i called on Tues and they had them in.
got my self the autobot one. the decepticon logo looked a like it was elongated too much where it should have been more of a square (if that makes sense)

well, i had to cave and get both. i have no idea why either, i didn't like the movie all that much, but it is one of the better looking steelies.
