Here's a cool little tidbit of something I read over on Rebelscum.  See the emblem on Galen Erso's arm and on the AT-ACT cargo container.

I preordered the 3D set from Target.com for $27.99 plus the $5 gift card.  I will sell off the 3D blu-ray and DVD discs to offset some of the cost since I doubt I will ever use them.

Enlighten me on the $5 gift card part ... was that a promotion?

I think they do that with most of their preorders, looks like it is done now.  Must stop about a week before release.

You can see some other preorders with the gift card.

I usually buy the combo packs and sell off the extras I won't need right away.  It helps me justify the purchase since I don't like spending more than $10-15 on a movie.

I do not see the free gc on R1 pre-order.  The others (like Beauty and the Beast) have a blurb about free $5 gc with pre-order

Yes, that's what I trying to say.  It was still live a couple days ago.

Sometimes it's the little things that make your day, my pre-order was a day early.

So what's with Amazon and Rogue One? $36.99 for the BluRay pack ... I was hoping to get it on pre-order to use my Amazon GCs, but there was never a pre-order, and when the price came live this morning they charge an outrageous amount of money. Ended up grabbing the BluRay/DVD combo pack for $19.99 at Meijer instead.

There's rumors of disputes between Amazon and Disney.  Amazon likely wants a bigger slice of the pie and Disney doesn't want to. Doctor Strange has been out of stock for awhile. It's highly unusual for Amazon not to have Rogue One ready to ship.

Right ... didn't realize they were only selling 3P. Maybe they are trying to push their Amazon Video version? That one has been available for a few weeks.

I pre-ordered the Target 4-disc combo w/ 3D and Digital for $30.  It seemed like the most bang for the buck.  It's $27.99 right now and also applies toward the $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 sale they're running right now.

That's not too shabby, especially with their SW promo going on right now.  I'm personally considering the Steelbook version from Best Buy.

I've got no use for 3D, so I got the 3-disc pack (BR/DVD and Digital) - was advertised at $26.99 but rang up $19.99. They were not in the Electronics section, but rather behind the Service Desk counter. They had maybe 7 of each (BR version which I bought, the DVD-only one was $16.99). Plus it got me closer to a $12 reward .... Going to see if they still have any on Friday - might use the 10% off promo to get it a little cheaper still.
