    Cheers for the links. A shame none have a special offer yet of exclusive merch if you order from them - might be worth waiting to see if any crop up.

    Finally bought a TV with 4K resolution so might even shell out for the 4K Blu Ray

    Big W has listings on the website for the Bumblebee movie. I can confirm they are curently the same price in-store, though stock availability may vary from store to store.

    4k UHD Blu-ray, $35.

    Blu-ray, $25

    A Big W Exclusive version of the DVD, $20

    Look out for these in-store next month.

    Looks like you can get a Steelbook Version if you preorder with Jb Hifi

    And it and the regular Ultra 4K Blu Ray versions both come with a comic book

    It's good to see that the comic will be released here. According to TFW, the comic isn't supposed to be exclusive to anyone in America, but comes with (all?) blu-ray editions of the Bumblebee Movie... but I suspect that it might be exclusive to a small number of sites, or just for the first release of the blu-ray.


    $50 at JB? And not available for pickup in store... so could it be an online exclusive?

    Is it just me, or does that seem really expensive for something that is just two discs and a steelboook cover (the mini-comic is a bonus). I would be thinking that the different formats or definition versions shouldn't cost much different to each other when pressed in the factory by the tens of thousands... considering how cheap DVDs can be these days (new movies for under $5), it feels like there is a bit of profiteering going on there.
    The steelbook cover doesn't look too appealing to me, so hopefully there will be a cheaper version available here that comes with the mini-comic.

    At least JB Hifi charges bugger all for delivery. It's costing me $1.69. It may say 'not available for pickup' because it is not on the shelves yet and that changes once all the stores get shipments.

    Yeah $50 is a fair chunk of change. The main reason I ordered that version is that my son loved the movie so I can see him taking it down off the shelf constantly to ask to watch it. This then puts it in reach of my daughter who has a bad habit of - sometimes accidentally and sometimes on purpose - destroying DVD covers. I'm hoping a Steelbook version will survive the kiddie onslaught

    I assume they do that to allow for shipping time. Usually they break release date in-store by a day or two. I might try my luck and see if it is in store now.

    Edit: Nope, not in store yet.

    I just noticed that Sanity have a competition for the Bumblebee movie - pre-order before April 2nd (Tuesday), and fill out the online entry for a chance to win a trip for a family of four to the Gold Coast, with 3-day super passes to Seaworld, Movieworld and WetnWild... worth up to about $5,000 (depending on where you are flying from).


    The images of the back of the packaging on the BigW listings show that the Bluray and 4K editions have the same bonus extras, including the mini-comic, while JB might be the only one to have the printed version of the mini-comic.
    Not sure if the BigW exclusive DVD is just a different cover, or if the one extra feature is unique to that edition.
