speedmaster this is what the Chinese edition looks like. As you can see its very similar to the Taiwan edition, apart from some of the writing on the slip is white so imo it dont look quite as nice as the taiwan one. Thanks again for your pics

 

[Scottyrnumber]

Talk of the devil, look what just got delivered

even nicer in hand!!

Still 'waiting for stock'

 

[AlexG]

Now I regret not getting one when it was in stock!

 

[Researcher]

Have you tried the Chinese release Alex? I understand that may still be available..

Personally I would go for the Taiwan version. JSDVD has it come up every now and than so you never know. I have patience so i'll wait it out.

Some one please correct me if I'm wrong but did the TW version have manufacturers paint chip issues on the spine.

 

[lgans316]

Yes, that was the first batch. Actually it was a missing Steel bit on the bottom.

 

[DJHilalo]

Personally I prefer Taiwan Steelbook version over the others, the slip blends in nicely, almost non-existent, gotta love Taiwan for their quality slips man, Korean slip is a distraction more than anything

More Side-by-Side comparison shots on the following dedicated thread

 

[gbdragon]

Agree with DJ the KR does stick out rather than blend like the TW.

Yeah I've noticed that some are darker. But you got them without any damage, so happy days. I've got the Taiwan edition & my friends got the Chinese edition on its way. So il post pics of them together, so people can see the differents

 

[lgans316]

The Chinese one is a tad darker. Please check if the slips are identical and if there any metal chip on the bottom left hand corner of the case.

Still waiting in anticipation for my copy to arrive from Yesasia

If Zavvi got their hands on one of these, I'd love them forever. XD

I thought this was rare and out of stock / expensive /etc.?

I thought this was rare and out of stock / expensive /etc.?

Rare? Not really. Keeps coming back into stock every couple of months. This won't last forever though. Korea version is the most expensive to buy. Singapore and Hong Kong versions are quite rare too as not seen many around either on here or on Ebay.

China version still available on Amazon China, but then there's import costs (customs/delivery.) Then there's the shoddy Amazon packaging that others have commented on.

In demand, most definitely. Easily in my top 10 steelbooks that I own.
