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 Wreck,
Sorry if someone already ask this question :

Have you heard something about the future of Disney metal packaging ? (especially in Canada)
They stop ? back to steelbook ? or another

Thanks

 

[Protec]

please suggest: Commando, Road to Perdition, Marked of Death ect

Start threads for them on the Steelbook Feedback section of the forums and try and drum up some interest. I'm betting you won't be alone in wanting some of them.
Just so that Wreck can back anything up with interest shown in the community.

Hi again Wreck, now that you've got contacts within Zavvi, is it possible to let us know exactly when they will be upgrading their packaging? You said previously that it should be ready by the time their first exclusive is released (25th March) but I would be interested to hear a more specific time. The reason I ask is because I am interested in other Steelbooks they are selling/will be selling e.g. End of Watch and wouldn't mind switching my orders if the packaging is sorted in time.

 

[Blu-devil]

Any chance there will be a UK version of I,Robot. With Sonny on the front???? Pretty Please.

Is there a name for the finish where only part of the Steelbook is glossy? Thor and Iron Man 2 Play.com are good examples.

I think by you knowing the date of RR that's pretty specific in itself. I learned long ago that when I said Play packaging was coming and it came about maybe a month after that people go bonkers and want to hang me for it. Bottom line is it came ... and bottom line with zavvi is its coming and supposedly in time for RR. They feel confident in that time frame but to better manage the community I say "SUPPOSEDLY IN TIME FOR RR"

Any chance there will be a UK version of I,Robot. With Sonny on the front???? Pretty Please.

To quote a quote from Angels in the Outfield. "It Could happen" - heard nothing on it tho ... you might want to try and spark more interest by having zesty or acid make a mock up and thread in feedback for it.

[Bluprint]

Next Wave of Best Buy WB Steelbooks?

Wreck, What Japan or Canadian Warner Bros. Steelbooks are next to appear at Best Buy? Any info or even predictions would be appreciated.

 

[SlimJim24]

Dear Wreck,

I was wondering when Japan was gonna release the avengers, iron man, and the Incredible Hulk on blu ray steelbook. Any information you have in this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there are no plans yet, what can we do to get the ball rolling. We must all work together to make it happen.

Hoping you are well,



Michael

Any info about a upcoming Dredd steelbook?

Well originally one of the Play product buyers was going to push hard for this and thought for sure he could get singles done. I once long ago made slight mention at this as I wasnt allowed to outright say it ...

Now with the Play fiasco it begs the queston if this will happen or not now ... my guess is no.

But there is a long year ahead of us and if the Fox wave 2 does good it might be I can still convice fox UK in doing the singles. hell with star wars doing good they may want to replicate it.


ps folks ... star trek steel to appear in japan and also spain.

spain rarely get an amazon exclusive that germany doesnt ... so its possible. If not perhaps the spain listings might include German audio

 

[blu-steel]

I want to know why Japan never got Prometheus.

 

[chanfm]

I have to ask this.....when will they have a steelbook of IM3 and which countries may possibly be chosen to issue them...?

Spain will include german audio but will also have spanish writing on the front....
I really hope for a german release

Hey Wreck. Any news on how many Finding Nemo Steel is left on Zavvi please?

 

[Bobthesub]

Dunno if anyone has asked this already (I had a quick skip thru the recent questions and couldnt see a mention) but after Roger rabbit and Finding Nemo coming from Zavvi, does this mean they have secured the Disney exclusives formally being brought to us from HMV? or is it just co incidence they have announced 2 Disney titles recently?

If they have are we likely to see future Avengers related steels from Zavvi?

 

[berns]

Hey Wreck!

Not sure if this has been asked but i couldn't find it. Any word on plans to release that Japanese Goonies steelbook elsewhere?

 

[vilhelm42]

Hi Wreck, hope you're well. With Finding Nemo being released here, do you know if we will be seeing other Pixar and classic Disney releases being rolled out?
