I just did cancel my order - since I re-ordered and added a copy of the Crow and Terminator 2.0 (amaray case) in.

Anyway...a friend just indicated me to that this steelbook has been limited to 2500 copies.

I'm trying to get more info for the moment, where he got this news from, etc.

I'll post back here when I find out.

Well since i paid $235 for the orginial this has got to be a steal

PHOOEY!

This is going to be DVD sized.

Hello xxxx

Refer to your question below, Paramount JP will use DVD size steelbook but put bluray disc inside.
If you have any question please feel free to contact us.

This one is 2500 copies so that would tell me its extremely limited so wouldn't this be the most thought after version i realize it's dvd size but with the amount that is produced.

I would think this would be the one collectors will want since the other countries that release this will be alot higher quanties

good point, but to be honest, it is DVD-sized, I mean it looks total the same like the FR Version: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B003JBHMMQ/?tag=hidefnin0a-21

I think they will use also the same Steelbook and only put a cardboard around that has some indicates for Blu-ray inside. After unpacking it looks than like DVD Steelbook:ohno:
 
Hi Shep-there is a thread for this title already-I've merged your post. Thanks!Also, just a little tip,the flag icons are used to show where a Steelbook release is from, when posting a brand new thread for a new SB release. It helps us keep 'em all straight:)

I'll likely skip this Iron Man 2-it's DVD sized, and I'll personally wait for a Blu-Ray sized case:)

Hi Mikey-hopefully there will be other options for you like one from Korea or a German one via trade, etc.Good luck choosing:)
 
This ones now sold out on Amazon.jp. I'm curious to see how this one pans out in terms of value since it is G1. It does seem to be the most limited in terms of quantity produced.
