My local Target didn't have any and they didn't know if they existed or not.

Yup, picked up the 2D version at Target for 25 and change. The 30 minute feature is actually on the BD. No extra disc.

It wouldn't surprise me if distributors are consciously limiting availability to retailers for release week, taking a page out of Nintendo's marketing playbook. The delay creates an aura of scarcity and a signal to consumers it's a desirable product. I've noticed it more and more with media releases in the past five years.

Also, the MetalPak jumped up to $41.49 on Amazon -eek-

Where did you get it?
I haven't even bought the movie yet because I still have yet to see any metalpaks anywhere.

I never saw the film in theatres so I can't compare my Blu-ray experience with that. I can only say that it's indeed a very dark movie (particularly in the third act), but neither my sister or I (we watched it together for the first time) had any trouble telling what was going on. It wasn't like Alien vs. Predator 2 where someone's incompetence clearly fucked something up. It's dark, but it looks fine.

Don't try telling that to the obsessive freaks over at Toho Kingdom, though. Sometimes I don't know why I bother with my fellow hardcore Godzilla fans. They're really some of the biggest fuckwits you'll ever find in any fandom, at least the ones who bother to make their presence known online.

I'm even more confused by this whole Metalpak thing. There are no less than 4 different Metalpack listings on the Best Buy site, all for varying prices.
