Has anybody bought Watchmen Mask packaging from Best Buy?

I wonder if how is the case looks like? I hope is not as cheap as the Target's Batman or Ironman mask case. Does Bestbuy still have plenty of figurines in stock? I hope it is not like Batman dark knight that sold out in less than an hour. I can't wait till lunch time so I can rush to bestbuy.

Re: Has anybody bought Watchmen Mask packaging from Best Buy?

The Masks are pretty much the same quality. Rorschach has cloth and lace material on his. Dr. Manhattan is translucent and glows in the dark. I actually liked the previous masks, thought it was a unique way to package the discs, and these ones are no exception.

As far as the figures are concerned. They aren't like the Batman and Joker statues that were produced exclusively for sale at Best Buy. These Watchmen figures are the action figures that have been on sale for a while now. If you can't find them at Best Buy, you can probably find them in another store or online somewhere.

I just saw them at Best Buy. The Dr. Manhattan one looks like decor for the top of a birthday cake. The Rorschach one looked like an oily rag wearing a hat.

The firgures went quick at my local best buy, I think some people were under the impression that these were exclusive to best buy as well.

For those interested in the figures, they're on sale this week at Toys R Us for 9.99 each. I picked up the classic Silk Spectre. I don't care for how the others came out.

The masks were sold out. I ended up bought the DC version from Fry's for $17.29 and received a $5 Fry's gift card.

I had no idea there was an FYE exclusive. I think that guy's joking.

if the words 'rape kit' weren't enough of a giveaway, then for confirmation's sake, he was joking.

The disc holder design was improved; there are open spots on the rim to pull the disc out.

This was missing on the holders for the exclusive cases of "Iron Man" and "Transformers". Getting those discs out without scratching them was pain.
