#013 Reservoir Dogs (Mondo X SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter eLviS1987
- Start date
Pre-ordered this yesterday... i'm glad they're finally bringing these awesome mondos to europe! 
@Noodles Do you have a link handy for @apsmith21's GB?49p can go a long way!
I combine, so it makes sense for me... plus I'd take Andy's superb packaging over Zavvi's any day.
I've already placed an order with Zavvi (with 5% off) but may opt to go with a GB here over Zavvi as they're not overly reliable to say the least. Received numerous damaged Steels from them before and they're packaging beit "OK", isn't collector grade in any way LOL
May be a safer bet with Andy's GB?!EDIT: Just found it but thanks anyway!

While its good to see Mondo Steelbooks getting a UK release, this is an easy pass. Already own the "gasoline can":
and the plain-jane Steelbook from a couple of years ago:
And purely a matter of taste, but the art is a little too "Sleeping Dogs" for my liking:
Finally, I really don't like how Mondo write "Steelbook" on the spine of every title. I think it spoils the overall aesthetic. Each to their own however.

That's just Stout's style. I like the art quite a bit. The only one I've liked better than this is Shaun of the Dead which is also Stout. I'd be happy if every Mondo steel was from Stouts art. Bring on the Stout Star Wars steels!!!While its good to see Mondo Steelbooks getting a UK release, this is an easy pass. Already own the "gasoline can":

I completely agree about steelbook on the spines though. I think they could have done without that detail.
I think he means the steelbook written at the bottom of the spine going up vertical, that's written inside every steelbook.
As far as I know that's noting to do with mondo "branding" they just decide to put it there for some weird reason.
And I agree it spoils it. Takes up a quarter of the spine

I loved that game!!!
Brand new to Mondo myself, but instant fan !
Few questions though :-
1) Will the others in the collection running around in the wild be corralled and made available to me here in the U.K. ?
2) Is this Region A B ?
3) U.K. j-card ?
Certainly something different to my usual steelbook purchase though does remind me slightly of Jock's artwork for 'The Losers'.

At this time there are no plans to bring titles released already in other areas of the world to the UK. But it all depends on what studios and other parties will allow,so whether this changes, we will have to see. Lots of moving parts with these things. Zavvi is trying to work on exclusive titles, hopefully next year. But none of that is finalized yet.
Much appreciate your response and await further news / someone to advise on playable region and U.K. j-card query.
Yes, the studio approves what retailers sells Steelbooks-if they decide to make them (with the same art) available to multiple territories, that is how retailers in different countries get to sell them. This will have a UK disc.
I have all bar two of the Mondo editions released to date.
Each edition has included the disc that is specific to the country in which it has been released. Licensing constraints would preclude anything different.
Most of the earlier editions have been exclusive to Canada and all of those have included the respective Canadian disc. In all of those cases, the US release had a different distributor which would have prohibited a US release.
Although the discs have been reprinted to incorporate new Mondo artwork to match that of the Steelbook, the technical specifications remain the same as the existing, previously released discs. This includes region coding.
A while back, in the Master List thread, I posted details of the region coding of all Mondo releases. That list only covers the first ten releases and ideally needs updating with the forthcoming releases that have been announced. It will, however, give you some idea.
As regards "Reservoir Dogs", both US and UK distribution rights are held by Lionsgate. However, the existing discs for that title are locked to Region A in the US and Region B in the UK. The UK Mondo release will, therefore, be identical to the existing release, other than the possibility of new artwork.
Hope this helps.
Andy has informed me that the target release is region free, so you have the choice of the Zavvi or Target. Now then Target cheaper, packaging from Andy, in another league in comparison to Zavvi, mmmmm let me think!!!!
@Goonboy I was under the impression the release from Target was Region locked A?
Otherwise, like yourself, I would jump ship and opt for @apsmith21's GB over my Zavvi order any day of the week!However, @Apollon confirmed otherwise in an earlier post on the Reservoir Dogs Target [USA] thread. See below...
I'm so confused! 
@apsmith21 @Apollon, apologies but please confirm region coding for Target USA's release? Locked "A" or Free? Thank youRegion A per the mock-up below (click for bigger)

The same artist did that too. That's his style. Tyler Stout. He's a Poster God (if there was one)
