He-Man (2002) - Vol. 2 DVD

[gobo]

Slated for May 27th, and featuring cover-art clad in villainy... See for yourself.

What do you think the odds are they'll have more store-exclusives for us to track down?

[Jon]

Well, there is a note about that on He-Man.org's forum. There aren't any plans just yet (for exclusives), but an "if a store wants one" type of scenario for now.

[gobo]

Press release here.

[DrSpengler]

Sweet.

On a related note, I got my replacement disk for Vol. 1 in the mail last week. They never responded to my e-mail, just sent me the disk (with two free art cards as a peace offering).

[gobo]

There will be a store exclusive version after all. Best Buy has an exclusive lithograph. :/ Yeah, I'm not so excited about that, but since I'll be heading out that way before the end of the week, and they (and Target) have it for only $15, I'll grab it if they still have 'em by then.

We should have a thread for news on store-exclusive CDs/DVDs...

[Jon]

Had read of that. And Target is to have an exclusive too (as recall, it's a couple different art cards).

[GK Punk]

Yeah Target's is Art Cards taken from Mattel's in house artist. People who have gotten them early have said that the Litho is really nice looking.

Of course, Mattel went and altered the Bio for Hordak on the disc, raising hell with fans.

[gobo]

After s ome one gets Target's version, could ya let me know if they're just the same as the one sent with the Vol. 1 re placement discs? I'm just a tad curious.

[GK Punk]

They are different, the ones that came with the replacement were done by Emiliano Santalucia, the ones that come with the Target Vol 2 are 2002 production art. Like the pictures Mattel used to promote the new toys/show way back in 2002.

[gobo]

Any hopes I had of owning an ultimate 2K2 set are now crushed.

[GK Punk]

Why is that? You didn't get the artcards for the replacement?

[gobo]

Yeah, but I can't get out to the store until later in the week. I expect Target will be out of theirs by then. But, I'm not so sure the hassle of trying to sell an opened second copy is worth a couple of new art cards. But, the collector in me says I'd be crazy to give up now. Who do I listen to, the collector or reason??

[GK Punk]

Just email for the replacement disc! They send it and the art cards out with out you having to return anything. (Which surprised me, I got my replacement disc 2 days after I sent the email.) I doubt Target would be sold out that fast for vol 2, you can still find the Target exclusive version in my town for volume 1, and we all know Volume 2's never sell as well as the first volumes do.

[Jon]

^ I think Gobo is meaning of Vol. 2's Target Exclusive (not Vol. 1's replacement disc added bonus).

I also am not able to get out til later in the week, but did come across the Target Exclusive Vol. 1 late in that week, so likely will with Vol. 2 as well.

[GK Punk]

Gobo, I just got Vol 2 from Target today. The special 3 art cards are AWESOME. You need to get this version if you like the art cards.

[gobo]

I got both Best Buy's and Target's. But, this'll be a tad impossible to combine into one set and still get it to fit into the box when Vol. 3 is out, especially if Vol. 3 has exclusives...

BTW, where'd the Supergirl in your avatar come from? She looks like a cosplaying Disney princess.

[GK Punk]

It's a great artist whos name escapes me at the moment. The picture is actually my desktop image. I like that if you look under her skirt in this pic she has little red shorts on, something I always thought they should give her for the sake of modesty. Id love them to let this guy design a Supergirl animated series.

[Jester]

To be honest, that's what though that was from. Some new Kara series.

[GK Punk]

I'm still holding out hope for one...

[Jon]

I got the Target Exclusive yesterday. The Target I went to had 4 or 5 copies of Vol. 2, all the Exclusive. As well as having a few of Vol. 1 still (with one being the Target Exclusive).
