I have an open copy if you are interested. It was only opened to replace with the remastered disc. Sorry I can't PM yet.

I have this SteelBook, and it is absolutely beautiful BTW, I also replaced the disk with the remastered one that I received for the free exchange from U.K. Universal

This looks like the same release as the UK first release, I think still able to source.
What's the different between the tow release ? I have the UK release but without the slip cover, that makes the different ?
How much would the Taiwan version cost now ?

 

[digitalbabe]

The UK release had different art than this. This one is OOP and OOS, and that, plus the slip, make it a little harder to find.

If you can find this one (complete with slip cover), I'd be interested in trading for it. Let me know.

I'll try and pull my resources in Taiwan to see if he can still find. A big hope, I guess.

 

[PlatinumResolution]

Wow, this is cool, but prefer the white cased steelbook.

I'd be interested in one if your contact can find one out there as well. Either way, thanks!

This is the white version. Its the best Gladiator hands down ... next up would be Thailand and UK ... UK for different art, but they printed SOOOOOOOO many.

Thailand steelbook is same as Taiwan minus the slip .. this slip is cool tho, if you dig Asian language ... and I do. So I got one very shortly after release.

The reason why this white version is better than say other white versions ... is because certain parts of the steel are shiny while the rest is matte. The shield, sword and something on the back I believe ... are all shiny like. It's really cool. Kind of reminds me of how the Wolverine FNAC has Wolvy claws all shiny on the back like bare metal.

Actually you can see the shine like sorta in the 2nd pic ... plus it had inside art which only a couple had.

Still on my want list.....

I'll look out for these and other Steelbooks when I visit Hong Kong next month.

Just found this thread, and am surprised no comments for over a year! Is it because no one has this, or because this is so rare, there are no trades, and there is nothing to talk about? Between the metal slipcase and this, it is a toss-up which is nicer...

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

This is my No1 want, I've never ever seen a copy for sale or trade

 

[chantm]

so is the steelbook exactly the same as other country's white versions? (besides the slip of course)

 

[lgans316]

Not exactly.

1. It is a bit glossy

2. Doesn't contain the remastered disc

Will try to post some hi-res pictures in a day or two.
