Yesterday saw the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on Blu-Ray and DVD. As reported back in February, there were a multitude of options for purchasing the film. After some careful consideration, I opted to pre-order Target's exclusive 5-disc set. It arrived in the mail today, and I'm absolutely rapt with it!
The set contains the film on Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray, and DVD, as well as an additional Blu-Ray disc featuring the full bevy of bonus features, and a DVD containing two documentaries exclusive to the Target release - "Inside the Creature Shop" and "Digital Storytelling". The best part, however, is the presentation. The set comes with five interchangeable images of different members of the Rogue One cast that allows you to personalise the front cover of the box. The inner case is also decorated with two gorgeous images from Scarif. and the whole things slips inside a clear protective cover etched with the Death Star schematics.
I'm currently without access to a Blu-Ray player - so haven't had a chance to review the special features yet - but my thoughts will be added here as soon as I do. It's worth noting, however, that the list of special features doesn't include any deleted scenes. As with the Force Awakens Blu-Ray, any trailers for the film are also conspicuously absent.

At $29.99US ($43.24NZ), it's fantastic value - being the same price as Best Buy's exclusive which comes without the additional DVD of bonus content.
[UPDATE 09/04/2017: Unfortunately, the Target exclusive set is now out of stock.]
