Ordered 2 just in case. Wanted to watch in the cinema but never got a chance to. Steelbook looks awesome with that artwork.

I've been collecting steelbooks for a while now but I'm not as into this as much as many here are. What is the attraction of having this release over say the German version which also has the same artwork ?. Is it simply because it's a " limited " release from Entertainment store and some people want every release ?.

I really think these so called " limited " releases could benefit from having exclusive artwork that couldn't be released elsewhere but I suppose that isn't possible ?.

seeing past the "exclusive" tag, its simply cheaper to order (and support) UK retailers than ordering from abroad (DE version will be at least £30 delivered to the UK i think) - but there are also other advantages like not having to potentially deal with german menus on the discs or subtitled parts of the film being in german or excessive German censorship ect.

Having said all that i'm buying more steels from germany than anywhere else atm - UK basically sucks in comparison when it comes to overall number of releases - tho there are loads of DE steals i wont buy due to printed backs or no inside artwork ect

As for the exclusive art work, i think its TOTTALY possible - but i would guess studios are now asking retailers for crazy high premiums? IDK, Wreck probably knows why but cant say cause studios/retailers dont like that kinda Truthful info being known publicly :movie:

I guess one of the reasons is, a lot of members here collecting "stickers"

The North America guys are going to poop themselves as they start reading this thread and it's come and gone

It really doesnt - quality over quantity

95% of German releases are printed backs, text on the front, no inside art etc so i dont get your comment?

Not familiar with ES but I hope roverite is able to get all the copies for GB before it goes OOS.

Not saying it's the reason why everyone wants one, but the reason it sells out so fast is very simple: it's a very limited run and comes with store-specific exclusive sticker. Both of those make it more collectable and add future value. (And recent secondary market values of Jack Reacher make the latter even more of a draw.)

If this was a regular print run without a sticker, it would probably take weeks to sell out.

...not forgetting the Gloss finish on a very nice looking front

Very true as well - and if retailers see collectors getting hard for stickers and j-cards over artwork or content, they might think to pass up on that extra $$$$$ for the badass exclusive artwork.

...hell they may even be doing that already cause exclusive artwork seems to be gettin pretty rare these days

 

[VRob98]

Wow. OOS.

With a 2k run, this has to beat even H&G for a record sellout?

I truly expect that once these are gone another 1,000 to appear. Meaning that I reckon they only put 1,000 up first to see if they sold well.

I don't believe this is whole 2,000 current for sale otherwise this is madness.

 

[justboy]

Sold out now!

No need to worry, I got them all as soon as it went live. There are still spaces available if any more international members would like 1 or 2.

You might be right but it would only be to sell at a higher price otherwise there would be no point in doing so ? every minute that passes by they will be losing a sale, so in theory still better to order now rather than wait.

Damn missed it, how long was the link live for?

 

[hammerdave]

You are kidding me - sold out already? Pathetic, thanks scalpers.
