Re: Have you got Thriller 25 yet?
My story.
First stop was Circuit City. I thought it was my lucky day becuz there was one parking space right in front of the store. woohoo! Sold OUT! Good for Michael but not so lucky for me. :lol:
Next stop was to be Walmart but 1) it's out of my way and 2) I remembered some of you had issues with them so I found an old receipt in my purse and got their number. Calling ahead should help me save time, right? Well, I was told they DID have the hardcover with the CD and DVD. I specified that I wanted the one with the booklet and the hard cover. "OH YEAH! WE GOT IT" I'm told. So I go there allllll excited and hoping I have Vermillion's cousin's luck....and BAM.... this is what I see....
It was like a real horror movie. All I could hear in my head was Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!! :lol: But then I saw the White Suit/classic cover on another shelf and thought YES! But noooooooooo it wasn't the deluxe hardcover with the 48-page booklet. This booklet had only 20-some pages. Well, there HAD to be more, right? Of course. So I walked all around looking at CDs and found a clerk who sounded suspiciously like the voice on the phone grrrrrrrrr! :chichi: He tells me the 2 versions I've seen in the store were all they had and THEN tried to convince me that the Deluxe Fan Pack was the Hardbook version becuz the cover was.....HARD. :blink: :lol: Fair enough. Thankfully, I knew better(Thanks TSCM).
Anyway, I knew it was about to start pouring outside and didn't want to drive around anymore looking for this thing. I was tired and wanted to go home but I REFUSED to leave the store without For All Time. :wub: I couldn't bare to have it in my hands and just leave it....so one of those editions was coming home with me...but which one? The Fan pack or the Classic cover? At that point I realized I hadn't done my homework as well as I thought cuz I couldn't remember if the Hardbook version (which I will buy tomorrow or online) had the Classic cover or the Monster cover.

And I didn't want to have 2 T25 editions with the same cover....so *fingers crossed* I bought the Classic cover (which I'm more partial to anyway).
Moral of the story? 1) Calling ahead can be a TOTAL waste of time if the clerks aren't properly informed. I could have gotten the same version from Target closer to my house WITH the exclusive download. sigh! Make sure to read the packaging to know exactly what you're getting... AND 2) Don't trust the clerks IN the store. Do your homework or they will try to sell you what you don't want.
Anyway, I pumped the remixes all the way home so the ending is a happy one

unk:.....just incomplete at the mo.
Thanks to all of you on here who posted your stories becuz it helped me to be extra careful. If it wasn't for TSCM telling his story about the deluxe fan pack I probably would have grabbed it thinking it was the Hardbook version, especially with the clerk insisting that it was. Hopefully all of our stories will help each other shop wisely with this. :flowers:
