I was in Target this morning and they are carrying both versions of the UCE WoO. Both are regular priced at $49.99 and $64.99 (BD). Also, they had a selection of "Temporary Price Cut" Blu-Rays at $9.99 and $14.99, running until 10/12/09 IIRC.

Does the Target version of Oz Blu-ray have all four discs, or is it just the movie?

Mark, If you are referring to my post, the $64.99 is the full Blu-Ray set (with book, watch, etc). It was not in the circular (neither was the SD box set for $49.99), but is located on the TV/Box Set New Release display.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like the $35 Target set is definitely the way to go; I don't need more junk (though I suppose many would say yet ANOTHER copy of this movie would qualify in this category).

I had to go to my Target three times to get a Gremlins, and I got the last one of the restock.

Was wondering what you opted to do -- to help me reign in the temptation to go for the Target $35 set even though I think I said elsewhere I'll probably just wait.

There's no Walmart nearby though while there's a Target near my neighborhood -- w/in a good, healthy, long walk, if I choose

*or* just have my wife drop by for a quick pickup. And then, there's also the Gremlins temptation to boot.

But I'll need to wait for some reviews of Gremlins before pulling any triggers on that unique situation.
Still need to pick up Monsters vs Aliens too as my tweenaged daughter requested w/ her goofy eyes and heartmelting 1/2-a-smile (or something like that

) -- she's beginning to remind me a little of the daughter (what's her name??) in The Incredibles. Kids... Aaaaahhh...

Hehheh... I think I'd be *MUCH* more interested in whatever extras for WoOz than for GwtW though

-- and the Walmart edition doesn't include the disc 2 WoOz extras, again, not that there's any Walmarts near me anyway.

Maybe I should start looking for the nearest Walmart w/in 50 miles for when the GwtW BD comes out.

Actually, isn't the 1-disc edition available at Walmart's online store too? Something to consider for GwtW, if that actually happens...

And it's already starting to sound like I should definitely hold off on the Gremlins BD at Target as well based on comments in Ron's "a few thoughts" thread in the HD software section...

Made one of my semi-annual journeys to Target today. Disappointingly, I left empty-handed. Lots of good sales, but mostly empty shelves where all the sale merchandise should be.
Saw the "Gremlins" BR, but no luck on the "MvsA" BR/DVD pack, which is what I really went there for in the first place.
Hopefully there will be some deals actually available when I get back there in December.

Yes they do. The listing will specifically mention that it is being sold by Amazon as an import title that has been verified to play on "Region A" Blu-ray players.
Ooooh... Good to know that then. Have you actually both some of them?
Thanks.
