appropriate artwork, the golden frame looks fine.

Reminds me - I wonder if anyone ever found the golden ticket in the Arrow steelbook.

Reminds me - I wonder if anyone ever found the golden ticket in the Arrow steelbook.

That's exactly what I thought when they made this announcement the other day

 

[Agent_DVD]

I want this for my collection, but not at that price.

 

[Evil Genius]

I remember a few years back, the DVD steelbook of this would go for mental prices.

 

[GoDo]

I remember a few years back, the DVD steelbook of this would go for mental prices.

The current Blu-Ray steelbook is going for mental prices.

 

[fariz]

the price is going down again, to £20.67

 

[Lutzo]

That's exactly what I thought when they made this announcement the other day

Exactly the same here- I think it shows that probably about 50% of those Arrow steelbooks are still sealed and many collectors will keep them sealed. I have 10 steelbooks at home that COULD include that Golden Ticket, but it is not worth the "risk" opening them... Hmmmm, I have one damaged Day of the Dead though that I could open actually...

[The Driver]

Got mine this morning a day early.

 

[hayemaker]

According to the other forum, this steelbook also comes with individual laser numbering on the back, which I don't think was mentioned anywhere.

 

[paulboland]

I cancelled my order
I will decide at later stage if price drops if I re order

Its not a priority release for me at this moment in time

Now Sold out at Zavvi

 

[T800kaz]

I saw one at hmv, a small part of the j card is cut out so you can see which number you got.

 

[paulboland]

Now Sold out at Zavvi

With Zavvi that usually happens on release day when they not got the stock yet and you will notice this when its no longer listed on the site
It will then appear back available after they get delivery of the stock they ordered

Eureka like have a cut of date for pre orders like Second Sight and Zavvi keep forgetting this and miss the cut of date

Its limited to 4,000 so it will take quite a while to end up sold out

 

[gwyper]

There are more than 4k of these. My local FOPP had numbers that were 4k plus.

There are more than 4k of these. My local FOPP had numbers that were 4k plus.

It says on the Amazon listing that this is limited to 4,000. The laser etching is a nice touch.
