How much does the gold bar weigh?

This was post on br.com
"Approx. 180gm of the stuff"

I think they include some kind of voucher and not the actual bar of gold, however, if you were wanting to weigh some copies

If 99.99% pure then its around $7000 worth of gold. Guess I should open mine to see if I win. LOL. I swear if I win I will change my name to blu-gold. LOL.

Beautiful steelbook. It still can't beat the original steelbook release, but it's still far better than most recent steelbook releases. The finish is pretty good. Are these the same guys who manufacture those Disney steelbooks?

If you mean Scanavo, they manufacture ALL Steelbooks.

Sorry let me rephrase: I can't believe it's the same company who manufacture the Disney steelbooks.

Really great pics. I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand I want this but not enough to drop £25 on it. What do you guys think about this dropping in price? I've got quite a few MOC steels and I know they take a while to drop whilst some never do and go OOS like A Touch of Evil. But £25 seems steep even for this beauty.

I recall A Touch of Evil dropping to around £10 in HMV before I picked it up. I would say 4k+ seems to be a comfortable amount to allow yourself to exercise a little patience. Still you can never tell with MoC which releases will take a significant price drop. Personally I'm in the same boat as you and think I'll hang off on a purchase for the time being.

I too am waiting for a reasonable price drop on this title, would be great if it drop to the bargain price I paid for Nosferatu - £9.99

Thanks a bunch. I actually got it for 22 quid, hopefully that will satisfy some people who are on the fence at £25. Just click on one of the many sellers that are linked to Amazon. The guy I bought it from apparently has 7 left after I bought 2.

 

[blu-steel]

I wonder how many of these they actually printed. There are more than 4000.
