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

Kevin, my thoughts are this. I'd say no. There have been other Steels where the movie was awful and Steel sold out, and continue to rise in value. I think if the release stays limited (as in the case of Sucker Punch G1), it will be sought after, regardless. Part of the reason for this is that the USA gets virtually no Steels right now, so the community in the USA (and sadly 'hoarders') probably snatched these right up. And another reason is the limited run. As soon as people hear that, they grab it, if there's even a smidgeon of that 'collector' mentality in them (or they think they can flip it later), even despite the content. There wasn't a huge cost involved here, for those that purchased at the website's standard price, so even if the movie is awful, they still have a potential collectible. Again, any 'collectible' hobby is highly subjective...but hey, that's part of the fun:)

Aliens and Cowboys both do not mix well together :hilarious:

I didn't enjoy the movie at all, BUT they did a nice job on the CGI effects...nothing spectacular, but it was well done...unlike Green Lantern (one of the worst CGI I have ever seen this year).

I do like this cover though, but I wouldn't go out of my way to add it in my collection personally :)

The only reason why I'm buying it because it's cheap and it'll fill up my shelves :) Otherwise, I wouldn't bother importing it.

Heard this was an awful movie. Wonder if that changes the amount of units sold.

Thx for censoring, now lets just forget it and move past it. Agreed about Target ordering system.

Maybe target.com did not originally sell all supposed 500 copies and re-listed it now to sell the rest. We'll have to wait to see what happens I guess. If it goes back out of stock at some point today, I would think that there is a good chance that it is still limited.
 
I maxed out at 47 copies adding to the cart before it balks at insufficient quantity. That is a pretty good sign that it is limited, at least to a single customer.

Well lets see if my order went through then... I got a conformation email but at the end of the ordering process on target.com it sad "oops, there is a problem" fingers crossed!

ash- I kinda feel the same way. Even tho it looks like I probably got a copy, its still a little... "eh" not sure what the right word is here. Lol

Well, i just ordered 4 more and checked out with no problem. Before hand I did the top out in cart at 47.
Then I went back after my order to check how many I could add to the cart and it topped out at 40. Seems like it's counting down to me....only a few left. May be sold out soon.
