Ask Wreck: SteelBooks Questions

[Wreck]

I dont know how long I will do this, or if people have questions ... but I'll check this thread daily in case people have questions about steelbooks etc. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability from what I am allowed to say in some cases or just info you may not have seen me drop before in past threads.

Hi,
I've tried researching this online, although to no avail. I understand that steelbooks usually have a print run of 4,000 units, although what's the print run of standard amaray cases?

It'll be interesting to find out the % of steelbooks to the market.

Third try

pretty sure they are 4k, but I'll try to get confirmed .fyi

4k is min print run ; so not all steels are 4k .... amarays there is no limit and they reprint all the time so no way to really know the market share.

hi, possible to get info which zavvi exclusives near to sold out? thanks.

 

[Civer]

Do you know if there is a Moon steelbook coming out in the near future? Not something like Moon and Source Code together in Germany, but one for Moon alone?
Thank you very much

Hey Wreck,

Have you had any past or present discussions about making the first 4k Blu-ray steelbook? Also, in your own personal opinion, do you believe 4k steelbooks will ever be released?

Wreck, do you know if the new OZ movie is going to have another release besides BLUFANS?

Thanks, that's useful to know. I guess I won't be cancelling any of those orders then

Batman France

Hey Wreck.

Whats your opinion on Batman France, G1 steelbook. Do you think this will be one to keep? Do you know what the number is on the print run? Im guessing its not very limited. Im considering cancelling my order because of moths moving in to my wallet...

 

[snooloui]

Hi Wreck, can you confirm if Evil Dead (2013) and The Place Beyond the Pines UK releases are cancelled? It would be nice to know for sure.

 

[Wreck]

K I will find out.

Is Commando coming back to zavvi before its release date like other titles? It's currently selling at zavvioutlet on play.com, but play does not ship outside of the UK.

Can you let us know the stock of other steelbooks scheduled to be released in June, i.e. I Robot, Independence Day, Black Swan, The Town, Argo, etc.?

There are too many batman steels in general for a G1 to ever be "the one" to get. Look at Iron Man 2 Japan for isntance ... g1 ... super limited, and while it can command high dollar (only if sealed) its still not at the top of people's want lists when it comes to Iron Man. The Batman TDKR g1 France will be much like that but even less demanding.

Hi again Wreck, any chance of Zavvi releasing something similar to the Blufans version of Face/Off? I don't want to pay out for that version if Zavvi are going to do it (especially now they seem to have close ties with Disney).

 

[Wreck]

i was told they wont do it now.

Hi wreck, have you heard about anything in the works with regard to a 12 monkeys steelbook. I would really like to own one of my fav movies in steel. I was gutted when the embossed battle royale came off because that could have been used with this movie's logo.

I would hope a new transfer and perhaps new special features as a 20th anniversary isn't far off

Cheers
