Nothing fancy like a lenticular image or anything....it just has a different front cover picture instead of the regular version with monk standing there watching the giant wave....I think it was of buildings falling over and an airplane flying, but don't hold me to that exact description...

I wonder how the brains of Target employees are working sometimes.
"Hmmm, the studios are making these slipcovers, but probably for no real purpose. Our company is putting these special exclusive stickers on these same slipcovers, but probably for no real purpose. So let's just throw them away (or rip them up, or bind them up so tightly the cases bend)!"
I'm not a slipcover fanatic like some here, but I wonder if anyone in our slipcover threads is having an aneurysm over this behavior.

I was glad to see my memory is still pretty decent, as it turns out my description of what it looks like based on my brief encounter Tuesday was actually fairly accurate!

Someone posted a picture of it in the 2012 thread in the HD Talk section:

i didn't bother picking the exclusive up because of this same reason. every single 3disc version had that horrific tie-wrap on them, ruining the packaging. they put those asinine spider-wraps on all blu-ray special packages, ruining them. when asked, they simply reply that it's policy. whatta bunch of dumbasses.
Went to my local Target last night, and they had those "spider-wraps" so tight on the Target edition copies of 2012 that the boxes were all crushed at 4 different points on every single one. I still can't believe people buy anything that's presented like that....and I used to work there. I mean, unless you're just a friggin' PIG with your discs, you'd never treat them or their packaging this way.

Dont know if someone posted this before, but Walmart has some of the 20th Century Fox 2 disc titles with exclusive coasters:
Mr.& Mrs. Smith
I Robot
Man On Fire
Wall Street (20th Anniversary Editions)
Also Walmart will have exclusives for the following masterpieces:
Available on 5-4 -10

Also how come no one mentioned Blocbuster had an exclusive for the spanish horror film TimeCrimes, it includes an bonus alternate version of the film.

I was just curious, how does a canadian (such as myself) go about purchasing something from a store that's only in the states? is there anyone here reputable and trustworthy that someone can recommend to actually go to the store and purchase it for me and then mail it to me? Would love to get these types of little things (extras included) for my little daughter

I would not recommend ordering exclusives from a company website, as you often will be sent the regular version.

While I'm sure Trevor could recommend some fine people, you might want to look at trading some service, as well. Canada gets some exclusives of it's own (Future Shop Steelbooks being 1 example) and i'm sure you could find someone for mutual benefit.

I've done very little trading here actually. Almost none actually. We do have that trade thread here, linked in every weekly post, but I'm not sure how much actual trading takes place.
Canadians and Americans trading their exclusives with each other sounds like a good idea.
Jezhead, I take it that you don't have any relatives or friends that live in the lower states?

jez, id recommend making a wtb (want to buy) thread in the trading forum for some of your needs. look to pay whats fair - at least in the beginning, dont ask for someone you dont know to do the favor of cost plus exact shipping. but id also suggest shying away from paying greedbay prices too. if you are lucky, perhaps you can build a long-term relationship with a dvd-buddy
also and for the record, walmart had an exclusive for the barbie dvd: on-pack charm bracelet. kinda cute methinks.
i dont recall anything else at tarjay or bestbuy today.
