‘Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ DVD Adventure at Target and a DVD Giveaway!
Back on the night that Breaking Dawn – Part 1 was released on DVD, TA was given the awesome opportunity to have a “Target reporter” on-site at a Target store where we could document the night and get some front-of-the-line perks for the Breaking Dawn – Part 2 clip and of course, the Breaking Dawn – Part 1 DVD. Our awesome reporter @KalyP, took pictures and tweeted away everything she saw. Here Kaly describes her entire experience that night, and at the end of this post one lucky winner will win a prize pack from Target, which includes their exclusive version of the Breaking Dawn – Part 1 DVD. Check it all out below:
Friday night I attended the Breaking Dawn DVD Midnight Release at CityPlace Market in Dallas. I arrived around 8pm – early…or so I thought. After grabbing a quick bite to eat I roamed the store in search of Twilight fans and found the beginnings of a line formed near the front registers.
About 30 people deep – a number that would more than quadruple by night’s end – they were waiting until 9pm, when tickets would be dispersed to ensure you got a copy of the DVD/Blu-Ray that you wanted. I snapped a quick photo and then went in search of Twi merchandise. In the back of the store,
an oversized photo of Bella and Edward in their wedding finery told me I was in the right place.
There were soundtrack CDs, books (a copy of the Illustrated Movie Companion found its way home with me), Jacob and Edward tees (so you can wear your “Team” proudly), covers for phones and iPads, as well as party favors (plates and napkins).
Nearby I found a second line which was where everyone was camped out after receiving their tickets – just waiting for 11pm and the exclusive clip from Breaking Dawn Part Two. As 11pm was approaching, the line had swelled to more than 100 – and more were arriving. All teams were represented – there
was even a shoutout for Team Jasper – as everyone waited good-naturedly for the last few minutes to tick by. The staff were friendly and cheerful – even passing around bags of popcorn for those that were waiting.
Finally it was time. Five aisles in length, every TV tuned in to the same footage – each aisle holding about 10 excited fans to watch the long-awaited glimpse of Bella in all her vampire glory. A bit of a departure from the book – with Bella and Edward together in their cottage, ruminating on Alice’s departure…and Bella discovering Alice’s second note once Edward left the room. Everyone cheered and seemed to enjoy this special tease of what’s to come in November, though all wished it had been just a little bit longer (but then when do we true Twilighters not hope for just a little more?).
Then onto the final line to wait briefly until midnight, when we could get our hands on that latest piece for our Twilight collections. Maybe a little tired from the late hour, but excited; and ready to go home and pop the DVD in and relive the movie all over again. And, even as we left with our goodies, more people were arriving to check out the clip and pick up their own copy.
At Target you can also get a case for your iPod, or a case for your iPad. And don’t forget to get Target special-edition copy of Breaking Dawn – Part 1 on DVD and Blu-ray.
Now is your chance to win a very special prize from Target! Leave us a comment below and tell us which scene was your favorite in Breaking Dawn – Part 1, AND which scene you’re most excited to see in Breaking Dawn – Part 2. One winner will receive the Target special-edition DVD of Breaking Dawn – Part 1, plus the engagement ring and a tote bag!
Many thanks to Kaly all of her hard work, and to Target for the awesome opportunity!
