very cool, i'm going to open this one, so this is gonna save me a lot of money...probably a $5 or $10 coupon from disney too...
 
Steelbook, there are plenty of other ways that people use the sku, FYI.Kali has been posting skus and other BB info for years.
 
Anyone gonna do a USA group buy? I live 2.5 hours from my nearest best buy and am hoping to get 3 of these. If not, I'll see if Liselotte might be able to get me a few.
 
Steel-yes, at the moment-but the info still needs to be avail if the Sku becomes available in future, as they often have, previously. It takes a few seconds to search, so it's no biggie.
 
Like the dumbass that I am, today I decided to check in person all 3 BB closest to me on the whim that I might be lucky to pick it. The bottom line is that SKU is active in the in-store's sales and warehouse databases. BUT even though it shows purchasable, the warehouse has been told NOT to release them to the floor until 3/4 for all 3 stores. (Someone actually put a yellow post-in note on the carton - two stores even showed it to me. Oh so close)

The managers also told me that:
1. Only one per customer (whatever, this is easy to work around), and
2. This is very limited; the Lynnwood, WA store has 10 while the Everett, WA store has only 8 (both stores claimed no restocking). The remaining store did not want to share that information. In contrast, they "claimed" they have restockable BD of the Muppets movie in excess of 100.

Maybe someone here will have more luck at their BB stores than I did. Otherwise it looks like another early morning mad rush on March 4th. Giddy up!

my store will not put them out until Tuesday or Sunday next week
 
It's available for pre-order now. I just placed my order.

Man I swear this SKU was not working when I came back from the stores. I supposed the cage rattling must have done some good here. Pre-order away and get the Group Buy filled :scat::scat::scat:

NOTE: Pre-order has no limits and no in-store pickup option which means no in-person inspection for mint copies. Also, I wonder if the pre-orders can be returned or exchanged in-store.
