The Right Stuff and Once Upon a Time...availability?
Anyone have trouble finding these titles at Wal-Mart or Target? I found none of the Warner 2 disc releases at Wal-Mart. Target had Robin Hood in stock, a listing (but no stock) for Once Upon A Time in America and no listing for The Right Stuff or Giant. Even the Wal-Mart website shows them as out-of-stock.
I was trying to avoid a trip to Best Buy (the closest location to me is a pain in the rear to get in and out of).

Well, for what it's worth, my local Best Buy had ~ 50 copies, or more, or each of these on Tuesday morning... So, you may have to inflict some pain on your rear...
Dunno about Wally World or Target... I ordered mine from CH to close an account.

No Right Stuff or Once A Upon A Time at the local Walmart either. Though, did find both at Circuit City. But then, I've always had trouble finding new releases of older movies on the day of their release at Walmart. Seems Walmart only has the new releases of movies recently shown in the theaters. For example, on 6/10, there was a ton of Tears Of The Sun at Walmart. And, on 6/3, Walmart had tons of About Schmidt, but no Fame.

Pricematched OUATIA at BestBuy. The girl kinda gave me a hassle. She called the nearest Target to see if they had it in stock. I guess she got tired of waiting and gave me it for 17.99. She possibly gave it to me because I also had a cd in my hand too and thought I would've have left without purchasing that as well.

BTW, The Wal-Mart mangager is giving me a copy of The Right Stuff for free, when they get it in, since their DVD section was such a mess and their DVD's weren't stocked at all Tuesday.
