I came across this at Walmart and so I picked it up. I had never heard of an "Iconic Special Edition," nor do I know anyone that has. It says it includes extra content and a collectible print, but from what I see, the collectible print is the extra content. The DVD itself does not contain the 'terminated' scenes or documentaries, only the trailer and DVD-rom feature. If you take out the separate paper cover with the "I'll be back" quote and the collectible print, then it's just a regular non-special edition T1 region 1 DVD that we've seen over and over again.

Has anyone heard of this DVD?
If so, are there other collectible prints that include different scenes from the movie?

Is it just a single-sided disc, or is it dual-sided?

It's single-sided.

I'm guessing it's just another rehash, like when they released the Lenticular Edition.

Yup, same previous version.

Yea, it's not bad. Thought I find it strange how it clearly says on the back of it that it's not for sale, yet it's sold with the DVD. Maybe they just want to get rid of it from an old stash they found, but wanted to do it in a way that makes the company money...I don't know.

That's not necessarily odd. If a manufacturer sells multiple items in a package, but does not want the items to be split up and sold individually, a label is placed on the items that say something to the effect of "not for individual sale". This is mainly to prevent retailers from splitting up items and selling them individually, so such items usually do not have a UPC on them.

I ran across this iconic edition at Walmart too. I didn't know what to make of it. It's only $7.50, I wonder if there is different pictures in each one.

Edit: I'll buy one tomorrow and find out for you all.

Sorry, I didn't purchase it, I was very busy preparing for when I deployed. I'm currently in Afghanistan. I won't be back until early next July. I can't wait to see the new blu-ray of The Terminator when it finally comes out. Hopefully October 2010.

I still haven't seen it at Wal-Mart, could you provide use with the full UPC code ont he back so we can go to our local Wal-Marts and ask them to look it up?
