What no one seems to know (or care about, which is fair enough!) is that the figures in the BB exclusive are the "Robot Heroes", which I got hooked on buying by extension of the Marvel "Superhero Squad" figures. So I think I'm one of the few who are quite happy with them!
You forgot to mention.. they are variants of the said series

Wow.. Crazy.. I thought I was going overboard when I went down to get the FYE steelbook but also got the Futureshop ones locally..
Walmart here have the 1 disc w/ prequel bonus if you want a Canadian packaging one..
I did also see the Costco sets still available when I was down there, but didn't realize you only get 1 of the keychains.. Can you tell on the package which one? Or is it totally random?

After watching the 2 discs, I'm so glad i got the steelbooks. The menus and featurettes repeatedly show the grey autobot and decepticon insignias in front of black backgrounds. This is a perfect fit with the artwork on the steelbooks. The artwork on the regular 2-disc set now seems pretty unrelated to the discs.

Hey Xage, are the FYE and Future steelbooks exactly the same?
Also, that dual-sided steelbook where did you get it from? I ordered mine from CDwow... supposed to be released on Nov.2nd, so I'm still waiting.
Oh, and uh... does anybody have a pic of that steelbook menu?

DVD Talk Hero
The best thing about this dvd - it loads up and goes straight to the menu! I can't remember the last time a release did that. No commercials, trailers, etc. A most welcome surprise.

They actually put the only preview at the end of the movie, right after the credits, that actually trails the movie!
Great collection there, Xage. As usual

Its not about the keychain that I go after in the set.. its the huge lenticular book.

For those who would like the very best of the giftsets, I recommend the Bestbuy Canada giftset. Not only the stuffs inside are cool but the challenge of getting one is hard (since its only situated in Canada's Bestbuy)
Fellow Canadian DVDtalk members, are there still stocks of this boxset at your nearest Bestbuy?
