It looks like ABL is selling really well, and there are 5 covers instead of 4. I stopped at Wal-Mart during my lunch break and picked up my 5 ABL videos. I estimate that there were 3,456 copies on display at my Wal-Mart, with about 10% being the Hopper cover.

The other covers looked like they were evenly split, in other words, they each represent 22.5% of the remaining covers. The interesting thing is that the display says something like "Four Collectible Packages!" even though there are actually five. I also stopped at Blockbuster yesterday, but they said that they did not have any Hopper covers. Of course the Hopper cover will be more valuable in the future - I wonder if Disney is planning on stopping Hopper production to what is already in stores to make it rarer. I may pick up a few more "Hopper's" this evening.

I also picked up a copy of the DVD, even though I don't have a DVD player. The DVD has a big sticker proclaiming "World's First DVD Created Directly from the Digital Source!" My question: Why wasn't Antz release digitally to DVD?

My Pixar video collection now consists of:

1 - Tiny Toy Stories
1 - Toy Story
2 - Geri's Game (1 unopened)
5 - A Bug's Life (Unopened)
1 - A Bug's Life DVD (Unopened)
1 - Steve Jobs - "The Business of Entertainment" 3/98 (C-SPAN)
