Must be Canada Walmart

Nope looks like the US as the member was from Mississippi.

They are not listed on the website. So maybe this is a good thing

Maybe the US steelbook war has started - Walmart going with the Paramount steels while Amazon and BB full pressing with WB and Universal steels.

Battle stations Ninjas!

 

[jayhsong]

Were they even released in the US before? The price doesn't make sense, either. Or are they new Walmart exclusives?

None of these have been released before in the US before.

Price is possible, they are all older titles, and the 'Comic' wave is $13.99 in US at https://www.amazon.com/?tag=hidefnin-20. Walmart tends to end their prices in .96 and doesn't always have their Steels listed online...

Thats what I was thinking. Guess we will have to just wait for pics then. Id def would be all over transformers 2 for sure.


And the prices are excellent.

Would love a proper release for Red October, but at this price, sounds like a stripped down matte steelbook.

Good news would be that Paramount is in the game. :eek:

Wreck did say this would be a big year for steels in the US

 

[ash333]

OK call me paranoid but at this price point and on such short notice, stickerbooks????

You are paranoid

I hope


To be honest walmart has NEVER been great at letting us know about steels. Hell I believe they are the worst at telling us. But the supply they usually excellent... I was in what I like to call a super super walmart the movie area alone was 3 or 4 times the size. Anyways saw 55 total recall steelbooks. (Yes I actually counted because I could not believe it)


At least the price point is nice and Im not worried about inside art I just want the outside to be nice.

We need more info Wreck

 

[Aw0n3]

If this is true, wow! I can complete my MI collection. But wow 12.96 for a steelbook is a lot better than the 19.99 that amazon and other retailers are charging for the WB steelbooks.

I am not going to purchase any inferior steels. Quality should never be trumped. I would rather pay a premium price for high quality releases

 

[madnaxal78]

Isn't the WB wave steels coming to Walmart ?
