    All the best buys near me said they each only recieved a single copy today. I'm not sure what happened as that's abnormal for them but I'm now not sure if I should pick it up elsewhere or wait to see if they actually stock more.

    I didn’t go looking for it, myself, but I do want to say: this is why you *always* preorder something like this if you really want it.

    Hopefully they’ll get more in stock, but just keep that in mind for the future.

    Pro-tip: definitely pre-order from best buy. I received my copy of into the spiderverse, aquaman, and the bumblebee steelbook all 3 days before release day, on nice cozy saturdays.

    I was there at opening yesterday and I had preorderd mine and they had only got one copy in my store and it wasnt mine,so they refunded me money. The cashier looked around at all the other stores near me and it was the same thing,only one to copy to each store.

    They really dropped the ball on this steelbook and Im hoping more will show up eventually cuz those Scalper prices for this steelbook are outrageous.

    Okay thanks. I usually don't pre-order (being a gamer I know how awful pre-order culture) but movies are a different beast since I only purchase something I've already seen and a movie isn't riddled with bugs nor does it go on sale as fast as video games sometimes do (and certainly not as deep a discount). So I'll keep that in mind on steelbooks. Still baffled how they dropped the ball on this one so badly.

    I'll keep an eye out - may keep my Target copy sealed in the mean time in case I need to return it.

    After hearing reports on the Bluray forum,some people are finding them in stores by chance. I checked with my BB again this week just to be sure and they found one in a store about an hour a way and the customer service girl held it for me there. I got it and Im very happy with it,but it has small ding in the top corner,but it could be way way worse. I think it was worth the extra drive as I didnt purchase any other version of the movie since I had predordered this version so it worked out.

    So if your still looking for one,have your local BB store check the inventory of the other stores around you and you might luck out.
