Thanks mate. How many did you order?

 

[thedefector]

2 or 3 at different times and they were all marked as "gift" without me asking.

I do not see the point of paying more for a HK version, if it's just to have a sticker and price tag

HK versions cost more but they're often worth more too in the long run - if left sealed that is. It's hard to find a HK Terminator for less than $200 now. That's quite a bit more than the Korean one with slip, for example. Likewise the HK Prometheus is more valuable now and harder to find than the Tw or Kr versions.

Aesthetically I prefer the Asian releases with slips, but I know some people like the 'clean' look of HK steels. It's an expensive taste though!

Thanks mate. How many did you order?

I have ordered twice from them and had no problems with there delivery or packaging

 

[VRob98]

I don't think they send in a box though, do they? My orders have always just arrived in lots of bubble wrap and a plastic envelope.

 

[cityguyste]

Three steelbooks have arrive mint from them but I really can't remember if they were boxed

 

[earthscope]

I bet if this was an FNAC sticker you all might have a change of heart!

So true.

But after reading how collectable they are I think I might have to get this after all. Plus HK is one incredible city so it would be cool to have their version as well.

 

[EastCoast]

Man, already have the TW on order, considering the UK thru Zavvi and now this???

 

[blu-steel]

Mine always arrive in a box.

I bet the print run is huge on this one.

 

[VRob98]

To get them shipped in a box I'm guessing you'd have to order in quantities of more than 2 or 3. Otherwise their SOP is to wrap steels in bubble wrap, then put cardboard around them and put them in a bubble envelope. In all the times I've ordered from them they've never shipped in a box. But then I've never ordered more than 2 copies at once.

And yes, I agree the print run will be large. The movie was a huge hit in China, and they'll want to be sure they make enough. There are 4 different editions on blu ray alone!

 

[pokjak290]

this version more cheaper than Taiwan version. Just check - order 1 copy to dispatch to Malaysia via Registered Mail ( Single Shipment ) only appx. USD$49.36

 

[domalorite]

HMV-HK is the most expensive retailer for steelbooks in HK. Its possible to get them for around 25% cheaper elsewhere.

For example Skyfall is HKD329 at HMV-HK but most of the retailers are selling it at HKD259

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

same as korean version

 

[cityguyste]

same as korean version

If its the same does this one come with a slip like the Korean release?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Which one to get - HK, TW, KR or some other???

If not one, can anyone please suggest any two that should be the ones to get?

Already started off a little late in this hobby and now don't want to take any chances .

TW and KR if you like your slips. KR ones always seem to be the rarest ones at the moment too.

Hey bud you could always get all 3 thats what I did ...

Seriously though, KR is sold out although you might be able to get it on eBay. So that leaves you with HK, TW which are both still available.


Korea seems to be the one to get at the moment.

TW and KR if you like your slips. KR ones always seem to be the rarest one at the moment too.

Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll go with both KR and TW, then!

 

[EastCoast]

Seems like it is sold out; no longer comes up in search on the site
