Alien (Blu-ray SteelBook) [China]

[AlamoSoul]

Release Date: July 2nd, 2015
Purchase Link: TBA
Price: TBA

The publisher only states that this is a limited edition steelbook but it did not announce the steelbook artwork. Probably the same as HK/Korea version.
The following pic is probably slipbox/slipcover of the steelbook.
Comes with a set of alien artcards.

I know it's silly but I got annoyed at Alien being called part I and Aliens being called part II

 

[InAFalsetto]

What a cock up !

 

[DannyDXC]

So, the real question now is..is this Alien or Aliens?

 

[SonicBoom]

Egads, what a mess.

Hey maybe this will end up being redone correctly and this production error will end up being worth thousands down the road.....then again, it's China, maybe not

There are guys on the bay trying to sell this as a rare piece! Screwing up an entire run is not the same as one of 1000 with a printing error! And on top of it, the cover is a recycled cover that Walmart has been using for years on their $10 blu ray slipcover of Alien. It isn't even exclusive Chinese art!
It is not worth even $10. (IMHO, of course...)

 

[DannyDXC]

Its selling for about $25USD in China currently.

i must say that i really like this edition despite the *minor* hickup with the steelbook inside lol! especially the slipcover is totally underappreciated imo

I believe the disc inside the steelbook is actually the Alien disc though, and not Aliens (I think this was confirmed somewhere)

To be honest mate the aliens wwa steelbook is worth far more than the alien wwa steel on the resale market. Like double the price. Shouldn't be hard to shift once you've bought a cheap second hand bluray disc to go in it. Ebay will lap it up

hello thanks for your reply but I do not want to invest any more money in this debacle
I now have
Alien full slip
aliens sealed steelbook but inside is probably the Alien blu ray disc

in order not to loose more money I would like to sell this asap as a complete set
I do not have an ebay account ( I do not know if ebay charges any costs if you want to register on ebay and start selling stuff??)
when I open this aliens steelbook , when I look on ebay Aliens sealed steelbook sells around 40 -45 euro and I would buy a cheap aliens disc and put this into the steelbook and try to sell aliens steelbook separately I would be still left with a Alien disc

thanks for your advice

Your call there buddy. I'm just saying you could easily sell your sealed aliens steelbook for enough money to buy an alien steelbook to put inside your fullslip and probably still have spare cash left over. It's a pain, but it'll solve your problem.

Setting up and ebay account is simple enough though, so I'd probably suggest you look into that. They usually charge you 10% of the final item sale cost, but given the cost difference between alien and aliens, I can't see that leaving you out of pocket. Good luck

lol, they made 500 like that??
It's a shame cos it looks like a nice slip

Lets you know what studios really approve. ie. it wasnt. You shoulda seen the red tape we had to go through for our Zombieland slip edition (HDN) slip approval, jcard approval, heck they even told me which "Rules of zombieland" we couldnt allow to be shown on the back. No way a studio is selling you aliens steels and doesnt see the alien slip. Seems like just distributor and retailer doing that, and maybe just retailer.

This kind of makes the FAC Jaws 2 cards not so egrigeous. You'd think these places would have at least one person around to double check stuff like this. I am available for hire BTW. lol

Luckely I was able to agree on a trade on the dutch market for Alien 4K(new and sealed )
