I got mine at a 20% discount already at what is Fred Meyer supercenters in my Northwest & West Coast region, Kroger's in the Midwest and Eastern US. And yes, I also have seen it on Amazon.com.
The calendar only has character images superimposed on colored backgrounds — and it is only one character image per page (some months do contain two characters, like WALL•E and EVE of course!) But these are not like the character montages you may have seen on this year's SHREK THE THIRD 2008 calendar. A sampling of monthly images are on the back of the WALL•E calendar. This 2009 WALL•E Calendar unfortunately does not contain scenes from the movie, and most all the character images are ones I've already seen online.
The publisher, MeadWestvaco, could have done a better job here. But it's the only one I've seen out there right now, so I got it. I hope that Disney/Pixar might license other calendar publishers, as sometimes happens with movies that are popular enough.

Just found one! For Canadians, they've arrived at Carlton Cards. Plus Carlton Cards is having a promotion, buy one calendar, get one 50% off -- so if you want you can also pick up the "Best of Pixar" which has WALL-E and the pink bra as November's image. (Or the "The World of Cars" . . . if that's your thing.  ) Personally I like the simple one character treatments. It's just classy, IMHO. I love looking really closely at the detail of character design and, for the September - December picture, you can literally see the peeling paint on WALL-E's eye frames and the actual setting writing on his lenses, right down to the manufacturer (BNL of course). I'm geeking out as we speak . . . And December's image is slightly different than the one I have for my cell phone wallpaper (EVE stringing Christmas lights around WALL-E -- but with WALL-E leaning toward her -- which I haven't seen exactly like that before) and I think I might frame after the year's over. |

They have a WALL-E calendar? I'm definitely keeping an eye out the next time I visit the mall! ;D

Yes . . . seriously, just the September - December image was worth the money to me . . . I don't think I have seen such a fantastic closeup of WALL-E's "face". Literally see every scratch and all rusting on his eyes. Fantastic.
