Target BD Exclusives: Gremlins, Monsters vs Aliens Combo, Cheaper Wizard of Oz

According to promotional materials, Target has secured three very interesting Blu-ray exclusives which will hit the retailer's shelves next week: Joe Dante's 'Gremlins', which is not available anywhere else in the US; a 'Monsters vs. Aliens' BD/DVD combo edition; and a BD release of 'The Wizard of Oz' for only $34.99.

Unlike other exclusive offers, this time there has been no official announcement, either by Target or the studios involved. It is only thanks to our eagle-eyed forum members that this has been brought to light.

'Gremlins' has an advertised price of $22.99. Note that Warner Home Video hasn't even announced this title, but it is coming up on Blu-ray on several territories: France on October 7, Canada on October 13, the United Kingdom on October 19, and Germany on October 23.

The 'Monsters vs Aliens' BD/DVD combo pack will sell for $24.99. Like the regular BD edition, it will include the short 'B.O.B.'s Big Break' and four pairs of 3-D glasses.

The Target release of 'The Wizard of Oz' shows a price of $34.99, whereas the cheapest price for the Ultimate Collector's Edition is about $51. Going from the picture of the case, it stands to reason that all or some of the collectibles from the UCE might have been dropped. There is no information at this stage about what actual disc extras the Target edition will include.

Thanks to forum members "Pfdfiredog" for breaking the news, and "musick" for posting the ad.
