I'm not sure what's up with all the thread-crapping in this topic. It's a cool set! If you don't want to pay the price, don't.

Also, don't forget that part of the premium that you are paying includes 2 free movie tickets.

I hate when they come out with these ultimate sets to tie in with a new movie in the series! (same as Harry Potter) According to the ad:

So that means it will include a 2-disc version of AVP:Requiem, right?
Wonder if you could sue for false advertising.

Is there anything new here at all (besides the toys)?

wow it would be a triple dip
i honestly would bite if the packaging was truly epic

Might have considered it but I just ordered 2 disc Alien & Aliens from Columbia House. Oh well.

Saw this in the Best Buy ad for $129.99.

I saw the ad too. It looks like the 15 discs are probably 9 from the Alien Quadrilogy, 2 from Predator SE, 2 from Predator 2 SE, and 2 from AVP SE.

So if you have all this like me, your paying $130.00 for the figurines, 2 tickets to see AVP 2, and a comic book.

Cool set but I'll pass on this one.Already have Quadrilogy.

It's a really big pet peeve of mine as well.

I picked it up, the figures are pretty sweet.

I won't open it until Jan 31st, just in case the price drops.

I needed one of the sets, and figured I can get $65 for my Quadrilogy and the two Predator releases, so I did the justification math as follows: paid $129 minus $65, minus $15 for the AvP 2 disc, minus $10 for the comic (it's worth to me), so the figures are $40.

Maybe not quite worth it, I'll think about it.

Not quite worth it.

I saw the packaging today, and I really wasn't that impressed.

The figures did look kinda cool, though... but I have way too many "toys" already. hehe

Best Buy never drops the price of its exclusives. After the first week, they go back up to whatever their full price is and stay that way until they've sold out.

Maybe if they did theyd get rid fo some junk, there are still King Kong sets at my store, although Im not sure if that set is a BB exclusive but regardless its stil sitting on the shelves.

I'm pretty sure the one with the original King Kong in a tin and regular keepcases of The Son Of Kong and Mighty Joe Young all in a box is BB exclusive. 99% sure.

Theyve reduced the prices on their exclusive music sets like rolling stones. It will be awfully hard for them to unload 10,000 sets without a price cut. Those movie tickets will expire at some point too. Their were 10000 planet of the apes monkey head sets and their were price reductions on it to unload inventory and that was in all stores.

not entirely true.

most recent, the silver surfer statue and digital comic book dvd is .01 right.

the kong tin has been at other retailers including borders.

As pointed out by others, not even close to true.

The Clerks 2 lunchbox set is another example.

I've never seen the price drop on that. I still see it at the same price it was when it came out. It's possible that they do this on a store by store basis, based on inventory, but I haven't seen them do it chain-wide after the initial week.

the robot chicken set was also another that had a large drop.

How are the discs packaged? Post pics if you can!

you cant see the discs unless the box is opened.
i didnt buy one but saw it today.
the discs are in the back of the box somewhere behind the two figures

Remember to not go by the price stickers. They don't always change them at every store. But in my BB experience, which is probably as massive as a non-BB employee can get, price drops are always nation wide.

Clerks 2 giftset is now $14.99 if I recall.

You're right. Online it shows as $14.99: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....p=1&id=1603098

Also, their Superman Returns exclusive (with the Ultimate Guide to the Man of Steel book) has recently been price dropped to $9.99.

Can someone post images of the set with how the dvds are packaged inside? Are the dvds in cases(slim or standard),digipack fold outs or what?

Yeah someone should post pictures. Also, to the guy who said he wasn't going to open it, I can say with confidence it's not going to drop. I work at Best Buy and there are no scheduled price-drops in the computer. If there isn't some special sale when the movie opens then there isn't going to be one.

Also if you don't open it you don't get to use the moviecash. And even if you do open it I don't understand -- you can still pricematch with just the receipt.
