The Force is Strong with JP Steels.

150$ for both trilogy shipped to Canada!
Since it's "limited" to 5000, I'll wait and see if they have something special compared to the Uk edition.

Crazy pricing on these when the same steels are available for a lot less IMO.

In retrospect, 5K may not be that many for Japanese steelbooks and this can be sold out before UK versions are released on April 8th. I think it is safe to preorder now and wait for the UK ones.

Trying to cutback my steelbook purchases, but I'll definitely be picking this edition over the UK one. Really high expectations for this.

Its all in the slip. You can buy Ted U.K. on ebay all day long for $45, but good luck getting a mint Korea one for less than $300. I just sold 1 of mine two weeks ago for $350.

Perfect choice for those in UK who don't want to open the shrink, love Japanese Steels and already have an open copy of the full boxset to watch.

+1

Already got the full Collectors Box set on blu ray which is open to watch.

Keep this baby sealed.

These are great for those who keep their Steelbooks sealed and obviously bad for those who open them and watch them. That counts me out from getting these as I fall into the later category. I don't really see the point in keeping them sealed, but each to their own

There was a Paul Steelbook [Korea]?

 

[BURRAGUM]

PAUL (KOR)...Wasn't aware there was one either..

I could understand higher price if the artwork was different, but paying that much just for a slipcover.

The 2 Star Wars versions in the UK might be the first Steels I will purposely avoid (although I do still have one of each on order, atm).

Yes going the JPN route will be more expensive. fyi To buy & get the pair sent to USA is about £96, to get the UK copies (post paid) to USA is £57. £40 is a big difference however. You pays your money, you takes your choice.

It's all in the slip !!

I'm hoping HMV JP picks these up. Amazon doesn't mention an exclusivity....

 

[Top_cat2]

I will procure these for posterity , along with the Other japan Steelz I have

but I really think most members would be better off , buying a Hot Toy & playing with it

It is for a lot of collectors and whilst i dont think the premium is worth it I know a lot of people who think it is. Each to there own, we are all different kinds of collectors!
