Couldn't this just be sanisbury getting more leftover stock of the play.com exclusives rather than a rerelease?

I think it's possible. Base and Zavvi recently got more stock of Zombieland, so that might be the case here too.
 
Here in germany they release it for 10€ but a very ugly finish and no inside artwork. so i want to buy the uk release.
now i want to know if the re-release looks ugly like the german release or is it the same like the first uk release ( with inside artwork ).
also i hope they will release bad boys 2 but i think this will only be if the 3 part comes to cinema.
 
Sorry, but this is not on! This sort of thing is what ruins the hobby of collecting for everyone! I understand that titles get re-issued all the time, but SteelBooks are supposed to be a PREMIUM and LIMITED EDITION product - Not churned out continuously! Once a certain title sells out, that should be it! No re-issues, no re-prints, nothing! By all means release the title as a DigiBook or some other format, but they shouldn't re-print existing SteelBooks, different artwork or otherwise!

The studios have already pulled this stunt for several other titles (Star Trek and some Marvel titles spring to mind), albeit offering a significant change in artwork and number of discs (in most cases), but I don't wish to see this sort of thing becoming standard practice whenever a particular title sells out and becomes sought after. After all, that is half the fun of collecting.

Basically they're giving SteelBook collectors a two finger salute as if they're saying, "We can print what we please and devalue your collection in the process. Muwahaha!"

The Robocop announcement was bad enough, but at least that's a remastered version, so that can perhaps be excused. However, unless this re-issue of Bad Boys is a remaster, then they shouldn't waste their time - ESPECIALLY when most people would prefer to have a Bad Boys II SteelBook instead!
 
It is rare for UK to do a re-release. I think this will be the same Steelbook, just leftovers. Not sure why Sainsbury are doing it when they are going to bow out next March. :confused:



yeah i was thinking that they sent me a message saying they wont be sending anymore out but i am sure on their website you can still order some after this

I will never understand why they Re-Release a steelbook anyway when there are so many other classic and new movies that they could release, i think they are just killing the collecting of steelbooks and in the end cutting there own throats. I say limit older titles to 1 or 2 thousand and newer titles to 4 thousand, leave it at that and keep them collectable.
