Just found this, it's a Target online exclusive. It seems to be the same as Future shop.

well it says its out of stock online now. Glad everyone here could get them. Thx for the kind words folks, I'm always happy to divulge info when allowed. And I'm always fighting for the steelbook collector community to voice our opinions on things that matter most to us collectors. ;)

G2 steels and no reprints. :scat:

Are you aware of any other SB coming soon ?
 
Avidan-yes it is sold out. If you like the art, you can join a group buy for the Fuureshop Canada version (same Steelbook), in the Trading Forum. You need 5 more posts to do so. Otherwise, it is not clear if any more qty of the Target USA edition will become available from the retailer. So if you want this ed, you'll have to wait for a trade or Ebay. Good luck!
 
I'm so pissed, I had this ordered and target wouldn't charging my card over and over so I had to cancel. Now it's sold out? Guess hmv is getting more money

I actually saw them the day it was anounced on Target.

Looking at the bid history, it went all the way back to 11/24 when it was listed at $30. I wonder if these folks are building huge stashes of these steelbooks to gouge off ebay later like whatshisname did for the SDCC Sucker Punch steelie.

I have to admit it though. It was pretty awesome feeling that day they were anounced on here and how fast they went. :D

Come now chip, be honest. Did you bite off more than you can chew? :twisted:

I just thought it was cool that the U.S. got one that was extremely limited and how we support steelbooks when done right. The odds of the U.S. getting a g2 steelbook are on the very low side.
 
I couldn't agree more Chip-I, too was super excited to see it at a US retailer. For years US collectors have chased Steels around the globe....time we get some...Steelbooks that is (dirty birds!);P
