Transformers R3: Now Available!

[Pasoot]

Yes it's tad too early but hopefully they will release this with a Giftset as well. Maybe a miniature Camero  that transforms to Bumblebee. 

[techdude]

This movie really cries out for a gift set.  Hopefully, the bots will better than those Jollibee Kiddie meal inclusions.   Oh well, those folks at Paramount/Magnavision has 4-5 months to plan it pa naman... in time for the holiday season... 

[baby]

If it's from paramount/magnavision.  Surely it will be a crap.  But it was release via Solar films right?  Who handles releases for Solar films?

just in time for christmas! i bet they'll come up with something better than jollibee's kiddie meal!

[Koolkat]

Yeah. Maganda siguro Transformers keychain.

[seph1018]

It's not bad that everybody's already anticipating this release and thinking of what goodies will be included with the DVD. But I think R1 will be the better choice. Steelcase with an included "mini"-bot wouldn't be bad. for the R3...a lenticular slipcase would be nice...small steps lang muna siguro expectation ko for the R3.

In fairness to Magna, they did release good copies of Mission: Impossible III (Paramount) and War of the Worlds (Paramount/Dreamworks).

oh my god! aren't solar films distributed locally by C-interactive?

[duncanfranchise]

Di naman.  Solar only acts as the local releasing arm for films from Universal, Paramount, & Dreamworks.  It doesn't have anything to do with DVD releases.  This is Magnavision's turf.   

[DVD_Freak]

but doesn't c-interactive release all DVDs of movies that were released locally by solar?

[Pillow]

If this would be c-interactive release with no changes from their previous releases then i'm not getting anywhere near it.  Unless they'll go for R1 like they did with LOTR: ROTK. 

[JohnE.]

incase they do (R1) what price range would be worth it?

[DVD_Freak]

incase they do (R1) what price range would be worth it?

depends on what is in the package.  if it's a simple 2-disc dvd w/ slipcase...siguro mga 1,200.

if it's a 4-disc giftset or something..mga 2,500.

.........region 1 of course.

What duncanfranchise said. Solar's been releasing those companies theatrically, but their DVDs are with Magna, which has given us excellent recent releases like Casino Royale.

When Solar theatrically releases New Line pictures and those of smaller companies/movies co-financed by foreign distribution deals, that's when C-Interactive gets a crack at local DVD rights. Since Paramount has all international rights to Transformers, I think we're safe to assume this DVD won't be from C-Interactive.

[Koolkat]

Thank god for that.

Whew!  Buti na lang

[techdude]

Somehow, I feel the best version of this DVD will be a 'Best buy R1 exclusive.'   

Most Magnavision gift set are nothing to write home about; Even Da Vinci Code has a nice cryptex but poor quality packaging.  Here's hoping they would not screw up this one...

[Mr. Hankey]

It's true that most Magnavision sets leave much to be desired, but one thing that hasn't ceased to astound me is the number of PinoyDVD members who feel the R3 The Da Vinci Code had poor quality packaging. Did you guys see the R1 version, with its cheap printed cardboard and cellophane box? I mean, at least ours had the leatherette binder thing and a metallic slipcase inside - nothing fancy, but hardly what I'd personally consider "poor quality."

Since I don't really place a premium on packaging, my standards are lower than many of you, I suppose.

[seph1018]

to each his own nga siguro sir...I myself don't mind getting my hands on boxed sets/gift sets, as long as the movie is really really good. Wouldn't mind getting one for this movie...enjoyed it very much. we should consider ourselves lucky that local distributors recognize the craving of DVD collectors here for special releases. They're still learning...so I suggest we keep them at their toes and let them know what would really excite us.

peace-out,

and that would be a giftset with a miniature bumblebee replica  .....together with a special promo of getting all the autobots and decepticons miniature on this movie!!!! that would definitely be cool! 

[allanmandy]

Did you guys see the R1 version, with its cheap printed cardboard and cellophane box?

Yeah! Precisely why I bought the R3 Gift Set instead.

[JohnE.]

it would be really cool if their gift set would tie-up with nike and come-up with this idea!



dream on!

a gift set that includes the All Spark Cube might be nice. Check out the ongoing bidding at ebay for the All Spark Cube

Entertainment website Skewed and Reviewed recently had the chance to talk to Mark Ryan, who is the voice of Bumblebee in the "Transformers" movie. In the interview, Mr. Ryan says that he recorded some new material that will be part of a Prequel that will help set up the second film of the franchise. Mr. Ryan revealed that this Prequel will be included in the DVD release of the film.

  whooooahh!!!!! Astig!!!

There's another article here over at IGN.com regarding their Transformers DVD wish list.

Hopefully, the bots will better than those Jollibee Kiddie meal inclusions.   

actually, the build quality from jolibee is better than the figures made by hasbro. yung recent na nakikita mo sa SM at sa toy kingdom. check mo, magdala ka ng bot from jolibee tapos magpabukas ka ng bot from hasbro sa mga toy kingdom personnel. mas cheap build ang ginawa ng hasbro.

although......hasbro rin naman ang gumawa ng jolibee bots

funny 

sana nga hasbro would re-issue their gen-one bots with the same build quality back in the 80s, kahit 2500 ang presyo or above, bibili pa rin ako. meron ko lang si jazz na panay gazz gazz at si soundwave. may nagnakaw kasi ng optimus ko nung grade one ako. p*cha halos ka-bewang ko height ng optimus ko nun eh

do C-interactive check this forum out? kasi alam ba nila na sila lang ata ang kahiya-hiyang DVD company to release such titles? viva din kaya?

maglalabas ang Takara Tomy ng re-issue of 4 figures using the same G1 molds, dunno about the build quality like diecast parts, etc; Optimus, Soundwave, Megatron and Starscream will be the ones re-issued under the Encore line
