[Broncky]

Still searching for this release so pm me if you have one for good price

Back in stock at HMV online store.

If you are near a FOPP store, they also sell this steelbook, I got one in Edinburgh today, they did not have it yesterday so you need to keep checking.

 

[Cymon H]

2 copies in HMV Livingston

 

[Mickle_89]

I was in Nottingham yesterday and saw 2 copies in their HMV Victoria Centre. 1 now fyi

Not bad but not great. Tide me over nicely until a proper WEA release like FAC. But you know them, could be a while...

 

[Covcraig]

Had atleast four copies downstairs in the Coventry store yesterday

I must say this artwork has grown on me big time, I like it a lot! Shame about the finish indeed, but even despite that it´s pretty vivid and beautiful. Boy oh boy this being in full gloss I think it would be in my top 5 steelbooks of all time!

Pretty much identical (minus the 4K disc) to my whiskey glass edition from Amazon France: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B077XSVZQQ/?tag=hidefnin0a-21 Same spot finish to Joi and the awning/sides on the front. Glad I got the set (shipped to U.S.) for just €36.91.

I decided to swap the back on this with the back of the other steelbook

I'm going to keep the mondo front with the other back version, the mondo art colours go nicely with the kimchi slip.

Agreed,on the gloss
And am fussy as to what movie should/shouldn’t have gloss - this needed it

What does everyone think of the 3 shorts included on this disc?
The ones covering key dates (black out, Tyrell buyout attempt and backstory of the guy from the start)

I got the hmv steel its sitting overseas at my parents house until i get shipped over with other stuff.
I had ordered the uk edition of the glasses but wished i had ordered this french glasses edition instead of the hmv steel as would have had for not much more set of glasses.
I do own the other blade runner steelbook but wished i did a bit of looking first before buying the hmv steel and got this.

I've only seen the two shorts-
"Blade Runner 2036" and "Blade Runner 2048"- the latter two of which are mentioned.

To be honest, I'm not really impressed with either of them.
Not only do each of these shorts not necessarily find ways to be compelling based with the mere minutes that they have- but they're just all so blandly shot... and that's a real misrepresentation as to the beauty and methodical pacing of the film. That's not to say that the shorts in of themselves are 'bad', they're just... standard... and fine... they seem like typical "Student Films" based on their quality and production value- and that's just a shame considering the sandbox they were given to play in.

I really need to locate one of these to add to my collection. I really like the way it looks.

Watch the first one. The anime style one I thought was by far the best.

Been seeing this on gumtree for between 65-85 Is that really what this is going for already ?

I wasn’t aware it was OOS

Be nice to know it’s gained value (not that I’d let go of it)

Definatly gained value for the time being, seems to be going for around £40-45 at the moment.

Nice

Something weirdly satisfying, getting a nice steelbook, of a great movie, as part of a prized collection...knowing it’s gained value have a number of these now (Frozen and Thor 2 kimchi's Probably being some of the most valuable I own and love)
Or is it just me?
