COOLEST DVD EVER!!!!!

So it’s Tuesday, which means its time to buy some DVD’s. There were two on the menu today, the Two Disc Transformers and the second part of Grindhouse: Planet Terror.
I decide to go to Target today to buy my movies, which is a bit odd for me as usually you will find me at Best Buy, but boy am I happy I did. I go to get the Two Disc of Transformers and I realize they don’t have the one I want, they have some exclusive, for 2 dollars more that is probably nothing more than a simple DVD with nothing important on it. I hate when they do these add-on’s and then don’t have anything worthwhile on it, and then they charge extra, store exclusive things should be the same price unless its really something specail; off the soapbox. So I quickly double check and find they don’t have a non-bonus version, so I contemplate just buying it or driving and spending the two dollars i would save somewhere else easily in gas. Then I notice, it is not a bonus DVD, it is special packaging. Which can be cool, like with the steel book DVD cases(which Best Buy had an exclusive on for both Grindhouse titles, but charged Extra!!) but this was even cooler.

THE DVD TRANSFORMS INTO OPTIMUS PRIME!!!

Now, I am no where close to being a fanboy of Transformers, I enjoyed the movie and that’s about the extent of it, but that is just too cool. As a DVD collector, this is a cool little exclusive to have, and it only cost me two bucks more, that I would have spent on gas if I would have gone elsewhere, so I will take that as an added bonus. I had to share some pics below, so enjoy!

DVD CASE Pre Transform

Back with Disc Case

Disc bay open-these are in there sturdy and snaps closed well,
doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy

OPTIMUS PRIME! He’s Huge!

Back with Disc’s Open

Side view, feet slide out to let him stand.

And the Huge Robot fits right on your DVD Shelf

That’s all, the thing itself is sturdy, and doesn’t feel cheap and flimsy, even though it is thin, this was an awesome edition to my library, and if you haven’t gotten this yet, you should. Now, I hope they have this version on DVDAF soon.

    I don’t know if it is the coolest DVD ever or the geekiest. I am leaning towards geeky cool.

    Cool blog! I am going to add you to my blog roll on my site. You have to love it when movie geeks get together…isn’t that what the Internet is really for?

    yeah, that’s way too awesome. my friend told me about this and I searched all over the internet to find it, but couldn’t. So i settled for the Best Buy version (with 2 Robot Heroes action figures and a Megatron Lithograph.) Then i saw that the guys over at JoBlo posted this and said you found it at Target. So today i went over to Target and RE-BOUGHT the movie. now i’m trying to sell my Best Buy copy (just the DVD, i plan on keeping the lithograph and figures) to a friend. By the way, your blog rocks!

    However… My friend bought the DVD and he doesn’t have this exclusive with the second casing. Casing is same outside (with translucent cover and both side-faces), but with a normal transparent-white case inside… I live in Quebec, Canada.
