Is ANY store not getting these? 7-11 link coming soon.

 

[SteelMadien]

Who do you all think would pack these steelbooks best? Walmart, Best Buy or Amazon?.
I would also assume both Amazon and Best Buy will also lower their prices.

BestBuy will do a price match.

 

[SteelMadien]

Be very careful if you order from BBY. It will be a b*tch to try to cancel the order.

Walmart! Scary but cheaper than anywhere else!

 

[Bassaholic]

Are these single disc?

16.97 at Walmart.com

I want to order these as I have a 20% off coupon to use from an order they screwed up a few months back, but I've never ordered with my debit before my paypal I'm reserving the funds on there for a big preorder I have. Does anyone know off hand how long the authorization is? And do they do like Target.com, & Authorize every other week or is it once then not till its shipped.

16.97 at Walmart.com

Can't believe the price difference from Best Buy and Amazon, 40+ difference, well worth the jump and/or price match

 

[hypeboy3]

So if bestbuy does price match and Walmarts is cheaper does that mean I can get these at bestbuy for the Walmart price?

The steels I cannot wait for are the steels from the Star Wars Wave (Blu-ray SteelBooks) (HAITI)

 

[Kinkoman]

Has anyone submitted the price to Amazon?

I also imagine these will be in store? I'm preordering on Amazon in case they drop the price. But they have been really dropping the ball on auto adjusting the price for me on preorders. I'd rather get them in person. But who knows how much they will be on release. I'd hope that low.

Does Walmart charge your card right away?

I'm waiting for the Christmas Island release, with the bonus Christmas special.

OP updated with prices.

I think it's great these will be widely available. On one hand it's nice that people of each region will be able to easily secure a copy of these, however, from a collector's stand-point, I think the mass distribution takes part of the fun out of it .

 

[hypeboy3]

I got all on preorder at amazon for 163 but if bestbuy does price match and its cheaper at Walmart then ill get mine at BestBuy. But wanna know are theses the un altered versions of the old ones?

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Come on people. If there was a new HD restoration of the unaltered original trilogy being done we would have heard about it by now. This is the same HD transfer Blu Ray versions of the special edition films that are already available.

I can't remember where, but I think i read Disney was planning on releasing the original unaltered trilogy on Blu-Ray.

That being said, that will not be these releases.

I'm pretty sure Disney can't even release any form the 77 Star Wars A New Hope because Fox still owns the distribution rights on that flick and will likely never let go of their hold on it. It would be a wise business move for Fox to do it though now that Lucas is out of the picture.

Yes
For me, it'll be an easy pass unless it has special features, but since I'd like the original unaltered version, this is going to be an easy pass. I prefer exclusives and WEA since I'm now trying to control my growing collection.

It'll be interesting if Fox decides to put on an awesome Star Wars: A New Hope special package with unaltered stuff (remastered HD) and bonus features. Though I don't think that will happen.

From what I understand, the original version's master copy (so to speak) is in really bad shape and its damn near impossible to salvage it. That's what I read a while back from a couple of sources when they brought up the possibility of releasing the theatrical versions.
