WTF???
First, how stupid to only carry 6 in the store (yes, they only got the bare minimum per store here) and second, who opens a dvd like that to steal the comic? That's big time bad Karma there.

I couldn't get there until 11 ... They had only two copies left, mine and one that somebody had already opened up and stolen the comic out of!

I was at Best Buy at opening and they had none of the DVD's with the comic packaged in. They didn't even know what I was talking about until I showed them their ad. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed.Leave a comment:

I was in the store at about 10 after 10 and it already looked like they didn't have a lot on the shelf. They only had one pocket dedicated to the disc on their "New Releases" section. Whereas, 300 and even a crappy movie like Pathfinder had multiple pockets...
Of course, they could have had more stock in the back and the flunky who put them out thought that some of the other titles would be better sellers.
I almost didn't see the disc as the Best Buy price sticker was placed in the usual upper right hand corner of the case- right over the B5 logo! Some cover designer at Warner Home Video will need to fix that placement for Volume 2. (Thinking positive folks!)
I have to admit that while I love BB's prices, their corporate attitude towards what they stock in DVD really stinks. About a year ago I was looking for a Harold Lloyd collection that had been released and was advertised in their weekly circular. After spending 15 minutes scanning through the comedy and new releases section, I finally asked a clerk for help. He looked on their inventory computer to see if they still had any in stock. They had four copies- racked in the drama section! It wasn't just a case of some high school aged part-timer who didn't know who Harold Lloyd was (though that's no excuse because I knew who he was in middle school), it was a corporate screw-up. Right on the BB pricetag was the little "dra" code for employees to know that it should be placed in "Drama." I guess someone in their corporate office saw that it was silent and in black and white, and decided that it couldn't be anything other than a drama, because comedy wasn't invented until the Farrelly Brothers or something. I pointed out the mistake to the clerk, stating that if the product is racked in the wrong area, customers won't be able to find it to buy. He said he'd tell a manager and have them pass it up the corporate ladder, but about 8 or 9 months later, the Lloyd collection DVDs were still sitting in drama, unsold.Last edited by frulad; 07-31-2007, 10:58 AM.Leave a comment:

If the comics are loose and not packaged in with the disc, I'll see if I can score a couple of extras. No promises though...
(I'm calling in sick on Tuesday to be at BB first thing in the morning.)Leave a comment:

Anyone able and willing to get that comic for me? I don't need the DVD, already preordered it on amazon.com (and still awaiting the delivery notice
), but as someone who needs about everything there is about Babylon 5, that comic definitely is a must have.
Of course I would pay for delivery and would also pay a reasonable price for the comic. Whoever's interested, please PM' me. Thanks!

TLT Best Buy Exclusive
According to this week's newspaper ad (also online), Best Buy has the Comic Con comic as an instore exclusive.
The local BB has the disc for 17.99. As I believe they do regional weekly ads (some regions of the country get different sales items than others)* you may want to double check the price, but I don't see them changing it.
* This is usually done so sirconditioners aren't put on sale in Montana in February
