I want Target’s version ! Sorry Walmart love you guys but …
What are the differences between the Walmart and the target dvd’s?
one is giving out fabric of bella’s wedding dress and the other is givng a piece of the wedding flowers from what i heard.
I’m getting both!
Am gutted being here in the UK. We dont get the dvd/blu ray until 12 March. Why are we over a month behind I wonder? Plus theres no event like this or special edition packages. Sucks
Me too. I am from Australia and it isn’t being released until March 15th.
We don’t get any release parties or anything, we don’t even have Walmart here.
I couldn’t find a list of stores at that link.
This is the best way I’ve found to find a participating store near you: http://www.breakingdawn-themovie.com/releaseparty/index.html?zip=
Thanks C S. *sigh* As usual, there are none near me. I live in Podunk-ville. LOL
I will the there at 9
It’s been out everywhere that long, Menna. But….that’s naughty!
Is there goin 2 be 1 of thoes partys in canada? Plz let me know
Target is showing a clip of breaking dawn part two
I have a question. Did anyone else do that thing where you take a picture of your movie stub and text it somewhere to have a coupon for the DVD mailed to your home? I got my coupon today but I don’t see how I’m going to use it since I pre-ordered my DVD from target. Anyone else having this problem?
Put your extra one on ebay or give it as a gift to a girl friend
So target is showing the sneak peak to part two but are the dvd packaging/ context going to be the same? I am just wondering about the actual dvd..:)
Walmart’s edition will have Bruno Mars and Christina Perry music videos.
But isn’t Target going to show a sneak peek of part 2??? I think I’ll go with Target. I can make my own Twilight baked goods…
Yes the dvd contents are the same. The only difference is at Walmart they showing a cameo of rosalie talking and Target is showing a special clip from breakingdawn pt 2. I would rather see the clip but I have a feeling that one of these fan sites will have it up the same day.
Well I work at wal-mart so it’s gonna suck cause im going to target and I will not get ten percent off.
My walmart was supposed to do it but all they did was release the dvd 20 minutes after midnight. No party, no nothing.
well that sucks that the promotion at target is better because I work at wal mart. but I’m going to target.
Rosalie Hale…. not Cullen
So Like Is The Dress Comeing With The DVD?
I do like the Wedding dress cover for the blue-ray set. Honestly, that and the poster, is what is pulling my interest towards Wal-Mart’s copy. The BD pt 2 footage, I am sure, will be online the same day, so what else does Target have to offer with their copy?
A prop flower from the flim.
My friends and I are going to the Target party,since they’re going to show the exclusive BD part 2 clip. I over heard the manager discussing the party arrangements the other day and I asked her when should everyone get there. She said to be there as early as possible. So that tells me they’re expecting a big crowd. I can’t wait to see this little treat from BD part 2. It’s going to be good!
The Walmart edition comes with a cloth poster and Bruno Mars and Christina Perry Music Videos plus the wedding dress inspired packaging. The Target edition comes with prop replica of a flower, floral inspired packaging, and they will screen footage from Part 2.
On the New Moon Ultimate Fan Edition from Walmart had a preview of Eclipse footage. That neither retailer is offering this as an on disc extra is a wasted opportunity.
I have already pre-ordered my Dvd from Target to keep as a collectors item…But,I am for sure going to Walmarts to get the Wedding dress version to watch. The part 2 sneek peak will be on youtube the next day, so I will be partying it up at Walmart with the free give aways and yummy goodies! Peace out!!!

Sorry for the hiccups
Yeah I’m going to the event at Wal Mart,it’s makesit more convenient for me, because I wanted to go eat at a restaurant in a certain town at their Wal Mart;-). You know make it an all nighter, plus the Wal Mart event will have trivia games and pastries. Not so interested in the pastries if they don’t have them, but I love trivia about the Twilight Saga. The only thing I’ll be missing at the Target event is the flower, because like other people said above the sneak peek at the Target events will most likely be on the internet;-).
*Correction I want to go out to eat at a certain restaurant in that town where the Wal Mart Twilight event will be held.;-)
I went to walmart on glendale in Toledo since it was listed as doing the party. And, let me tell you… I was not pleased. It upset me so bad that I am going to use capital letters.

IT DIDN’T START AT 11, NO SPECIAL GIVEAWAYS.
NO TREATS
NO CAMEO TV APPEARANCE FROM ROSALIE CULLEN
ALL THERE WAS HAD BEEN THE DVD BEING SOLD AT REGISTER 1 AT FIVE MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT.
WHAT’S WORSE IS THAT IT WASN’T UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT (ABOUT 20 MINUTES PAST) THAT THEY BROUGHT THE DVDS UP FRONT.
ALSO, WHEN WE FIRST ASKED THE WORKERS, THEY DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE. ALSO THE OTHER WALMART IN TOLEDO THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO IT DIDN’T.
SO, I AM HIGHLY DISPLEASED.
“We’re excited to give the millions of Twilight fans a place to unite, celebrate and receive exclusive Breaking Dawn collectibles at a great price.”
WHAT PLACE TO CELEBRATE?! I DIDN’T SEE IT. USUALLY WALMART HITS THE TOP MARK IN DOING STUFF LIKE THIS. HOWEVER…
THEY DIDN’T EVEN REACH THE MARK. I DON’T EVEN THINK THEY TRIED!
I went to Target and picked up my ticket and then went to Walmart so I could get the Bella dress edition.. Also Walmart had claimed they would be having this big party and showing the “Rosalie hosted preview”. Walmart served a bride’s and groom’s cake and had it decorated like a reception, gave away a dvd and a banner but then didn’t show the preview! I was so glad to be heading back across the street to Target to buy the “flower” edition too bc the preview was still playing there. I managed to get the “dress” edition, “flower” edition and have some cake and still see the preview so all in all it was a good night but I was sorely disappointed with Walmart. they didn’t even announce that they weren’t going to show it. Afterwards I asked when were they going to show the preview and they said they couldn’t because it was “too racy for children” which is laughable if you have seen it! lol
I though i had a disappointment til i read Alice’s comment above me. At least they served wedding cake at my Walmart. I am so sorry for your experience Alice. I think we should voice our displeasure to Walmart. After all, our dollars speak and that’s what corporations care about. You would think they would curry our favour since we are so many and are willing to come out at midnight on work nights to their store and spend our money.
Anyone else agree?
I totally agree. I wonder if the walmart website would be a good way to send a complaint? Have they invented time machines yet?
Here if you would like to send a complaint I used this link http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx
Maybe if enough of us compain they might actually do something.
I agree,. I think we should send feedback and let them know. I’m sure that at the Executive [Corporate] level they fully had expectations for what kind of release party Walmart wanted to present. Most likely, somewhere in the trickle-down of actually executing the event, things went by the way-side or went wrong. I realise the suits at corporate aren’t going to be able to monitor how the midnight parties are run at our neighborhood walmarts because they aren’t present BUT that’s precisely why we need to tell them what the experience was like for us, the loyal fans who were looking so forward to this. Also, we should do it soon because we only have one more midnight release to go since there is only one movie left!
I would like a decent explanation of the ban of the preview due to “racy content” though lol
Wow, no one else commenting other then us two?
Now those others who are not commenting either
A.) Went to Target.
B.) Their walmart did what was mentioned.
C.) They didn’t go to walmart or Target.
D.) They don’t want to report a problem that they had with either store.
Oh, did the wedding cake taste good?
Yes the cake was very good. Here is a link to the pictures I took at Walmart that night.

What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness
of valuable know-how concerning unpredicted feelings.
Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring
on other blogs? I have a blog based on the same topics you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information.
I know my subscribers would appreciate your work.
If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.

Its been a long while since I was able to stumble upon a competent posting such as this.
Just shared this report to my pals. A big heads up and
best of luck!.
It’s an amazing post in favor of all the online visitors; they will obtain advantage from it I am sure.
Asking questions are truly fastidious thing if you
are not understanding anything fully, however this paragraph
gives good understanding yet.
I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if
the problem still exists.
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people
consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Appreciate it!
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the highest quality
websites online. I am going to highly recommend this web site!
