Re: James Bond Update

Anyone else notice that they edited the Goldeneye teaser trailer?

As bond walks out and shoots the 7 it freeze frames and then the music montage starts. They cut out the part where he walks to camera to reveal Brosnan's face and he says "You were expecting someone else?"

WHY? I loved this trailer, are they scared that little moment takes away from the Craig era or something?

Re: James Bond Update

You all were right, I went to the Walmart near me and they only had the display set up back to back with the Avenger's display so you couldn't see the Blu-rays; the DVDs was the part face out in the aisle (I actually move the display a bit to see what they had.) I only saw only a couple of DAF's, a Goldfinger, a Thunderball, and a Octopussy. I picked up Octopussy

Re: James Bond Update

I managed to get all 6 exclusives from Walmart and Target, but I had to hit two of each. The Targets looked like they actually did only get one copy of each film. Ridiculous.

I haven't watched it yet, but that's very disappointed. That was such an awesome teaser.

I had success today. Managed to find all the titles I wanted at Wal-Mart and Target. Each had multiple copies of every title.

Re: James Bond Update

I cannot fathom why they would go to the trouble of cutting that line out of a single teaser. So weird.

I want to say there were a couple teasers...we were just unlucky to get the version without that line

Re: James Bond Update

My Walmart had the titles and display out early over the weekend. I picked up the box set last week when it was on sale. Love it... I never upgraded any of the DVDs from the original 3 box sets so this was a no brainer for me.

Re: James Bond Update

So I canceled my Amazon UK order the Sunday before, or at least tried to, once the BB price was matched on Amazon US. I was told it was dispatching soon and therefore canceling could not be done. They told me to refuse the package and return it to sender once it arrived.

Unfortunately, the package was just left on my porch so I had to go through the normal return proceedings. I was told twice that they would refund return shipping, and boy am I glad I kept traces of that because it cost a whopping $45!

Re: James Bond Update

I got Tomorrow Never Dies at a Super Target today. Of course, it was in the stockroom, but at least I found it. They got a grand total of 3 copies. That should be plenty for a city of 400,000 people.

This. There was indeed a shorter version without that line.

Re: James Bond Update

I was at a Target in Toledo and saw these on display. My problem is that none of them had slip covers. Is this the same of the wal mart and best buy exclusives? I really would not care except that the earlier Bond titles all had slip covers so these will look dumb next to the older ones on my shelf!

No, the WM one's didn't and I wouldn't expect the BB one's to have them either when/if they're released.

Re: James Bond Update

My local Target had all the exclusives out, but none of the other Bond BDs (other than the 3 DVD sets/packs and Bond 50 set)

Re: James Bond Update

I stopped in WM today and they finally had the Bond display out. Roughly 4 copies of each title.

Re: James Bond Update

I saw all the exclusives out at Walmart and Target but I still think I'm going to wait and get Bond 50 eventually. Not really a fan of the covers they used on the single releases.

I really havn't been following...has anything changed on these? Are they still the same MGM discs with an artwork makeover?

Re: James Bond Update

Is the Bond 50 set OOP? Amazon doesn't have it available anymore.

Interesting. It also says, "Amazon.com is currently out of stock on this item. Please check back the end of November for more product and a great deal."

Black Friday price coming, perhaps?

Re: James Bond Update

For those that may be having trouble tracking the blu-rays exclusive to Wal-Mart, I would recommend trying your local Sam's Club. My brother and I have tried tracking down the Bond display at four local Wal-Marts in Colorado without much luck; however, we were able to find all of the Wal-Mart exclusive titles at our local Sam's Club this afternoon. It baffles me how some Wal-Marts have the Bond display while others don't, so hopefully those that are still searching for the Wal-Mart exclusives may have some better luck at Sam's Club.

Re: James Bond Update

FYI,
Regarding the new Bond documentary that aired last night on EPIX.

If you have an Xbox 360, download the Epix app. Then log on to your computer and register for a 14 day free trial to use the app on the Xbox. Doesn't matter who your TV provider is. Just put anything.

Then you can watch the documentary for free. I just signed up and will watch the documentary later tonight.
