Battle: Los Angeles (Blu-ray SteelBook)(Walmart Exclusive) [USA]
- Thread starter sengboy
- Start date
So I went to the Walmart in West Hills at 7:30am and they had nine copies in stock ...
I purchased two copies which looked fine in the store, but when I got home I noticed they both had dings in separate places. So I went back to return them at 2:30pm and they were down to three in stock.
They were all mint but one had a tiny tear in the wrapping, so I picked up the other two.
So now there's only one left at the West Hills store and its in the electronics department. I checked up front by the registers but there were no movie displays of any kind.
There's nothing quite like heading out to purchase SteelBooks in person at a store, and we in the US get to do that so seldom. Here are my spoils ...

Got mine today as well... I was extra cautious to get a mint copy. I'll save the pic for when I post a 'collection' photo, since there are plenty of pics in this thread.
I too was on the fence about buying it -- but the prospect of owning a US product put it over the top. Gotta support the US Steel industry.

So I opened my SteelBook today only to find a nasty dent on the rear cover as well as shelf wear on two of the corners.
I went up to the Super Walmart in Porter Ranch to exchange it and found they had about a dozen copies in stock, half of which were in those hard plastic security enclosures.
I noticed several copies had small paint chips on various corners, especially on the inside where they connected.
Anyways, I ended up exchanging my dented copy and ended up with a mint SteelBook. Strangely, though, the customer service people made me open the new copy I was getting in exchange for the dented copy.
Glad that's over with. No more Walmart until they release their next SteelBook.
That back cover is one of the best I've seen on any steelbook
I agree.
I wish studios or retailers would stop putting paper overlays on the back of steelbooks, so you could inspect the back for damage.
Good point! Sometimes you really can't tell until you remove the cardboard and wrapping paper.
I totally agree with you guys. It would be great if they made those paper inserts a tad smaller and then included them inside the SteelBook instead. What gets me, too, is the glue. WalMart seems to be really excessive with it, too. I don't know why they need so much glue.
Yeah, the glue was insane on my copy too.
This steel definitely looks best from behind... *insert dirty joke here*

I exchanged mine today and they opened my replacement as well. All is good though, because I now have a mint copy! I tried watching this last night, but was too ticked off about my damaged steel, that I couldn't even watch the movie lol!
Glad you found a mint replacement. There's nothing worse than unwrapping a new steelbook and finding a nasty dent.
Here, here! Best Buy has Scarface listed, so we should have at least one more coming this year.
