I agree. I think these triple boxsets are really taking advantage of the steelbook collector. I can see it for a series of 3 different films, but not the same steelbook in 1/4 slip, full, and lenti. Sooner or later the market will implode on itself.

I also wanted to ad that pricing on stuff from China in general should not cost more than the other competition. We are getting beautiful stuff from Korea at a fraction of the cost for the same quality and goodies.

If this was from PA, Kimchi, or Nova it would be around $35 for each release and $100 for the tripack as this is a catalog title.

Hi chip,
Amelie was 37 usd on kimchi website,plus the shipping,would be over 50USD.
dont forget Gladiator release 3000 copies,not 4000 or more,PA, Kimchi, or Nova released 4000 copies at least,it means we must be destory 1000 steelbook case or more,and this money from our own pocket,not free.
like i said,we also want to sell them as cheap,but china market was different with korea and EU,please understand.

Why not just sell 4000 Steels instead of destroying 1000 perfectly good Steels?

When a thing is scarce it is precious.

 

[chilean]

This looks fantastic! Will buy as long as it doesn't cost an arm and a leg

 

[RobertJoseph17]

When a thing is scarce it is precious.

I understand. It just seems sad knowing that 1000 of these beauties are gonna be destroyed to created more demand. It's too bad they don't just let you order 3000 and charge a bit more per piece.

 

[GroundZero81]

this is gladiator why is everybody talking about all these other titles stick to the subject anyyyyyyyyyywayyyyyy hell yeah this GLADIATOR LOOKS EPIC!!!

 

[extantsrevenge]

Amazing, shaping up to be one of the best releases of the year.

 

[Sounder]

So what I want to know is exactly how are these 1000 steelbooks being destroyed? Sledgehammer? Blowtorch? Shotgun? .... Ebola? Hmmm.....

 

[C.C. 95]

Yeah, I really didn't understand the reasoning behind destroying a bunch of SBs. (Damn, hide them away and pull 'em out in 3 years and you'd make double!)

 

[ricster]

Must buy here as a die hard gladiator fan. Excellent package for an excellent film. Cant wait.

 

[C.C. 95]

Gotta have that Triple Box sweetness!... I don't even care about the wallet on this one! (Ramen noodles, anyone?)
Does anyone know if the Triple Box itself is metal?

 

[Butz2k]

How do I get my hands on one? Is there a GB or do they have a website?

 

[harry]

@Butz2k There will be a gb here soon, just keep an eye on the thread and they will announce the date, the time and the price.

 

[Devildog151]

I really hope there's a separate GB for just the Lenti at the same time. I really don't want to wait until the tri-pack have sold for a Lenti GB.

 

[Sampy]

Hey I'm new here (a collector for a long time though). Once there is a GB live around here, are there any restrictions on participating? For example a minimum amount of posts as a HDN member or can anyone join?

Thanks a lot!

 

[harry]

@Sampy welcome to the forum buddy. To join the GB, if i am not mistaken you need 20-25 posts.

You'll need exactly 20 non-spammy posts to have access to the trading area and join a GB. Welcome to HDN

 

[villadelrefugio]

I guess I'm the only weirdo here who will pass on this Although it is quite stunning, it's still a triple pack of ONE movie. I personally can't justify that price. Now, for some sort of trilogy? Yes. Please.

Villadelrefugio: Hey, just buy the box, and pop in a copy of Abel Ferrara's 1986 film THE GLADIATOR (with Ken Wahl & Nancy Allen), and pop in a copy of Rowdy Herrington's 1992 film GLADIATOR (with Cuba Gooding jr.) and there you go!
BOOM! You just rationalized the purchase!
