Interseting how its people with connections within the industry are defending the practices or re-releases.

They sure don't represent my views.

Indeed, indeed!

 

[Starling]

I don't really care too much either way about Re-Releases, but I don't really get those recent ones: I've never heard anybody looking for either "Elysium" or "Moon". I've been looking for things like "Jaws", "Once upon a time in America", "Man on Fire", "Evil Dead 2", "Army of Darkness" etc. for ages, but if I had looked for "Elysium" or "Moon", I could have always picked those up on the secondary market for below cost price....

By doing this with unpopular releases first, then they're able to judge the level of resistance from collectors.

Dipping their toes into the water, before announcing the oncoming deluge of every popular title to follow.

Only concern for me would be if they re-release some of the rarer U.K. 1st editions with exactly the same artwork.
Examples being:-
HALO LEGENDS, 2012 (HMV), PRINCE OF PERSIA (HMV - 2 editions), SHOGUN ASSASSIN, THOR (HMV), PULP FICTION (PLAY), X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (PLAY), CAPTAIN AMERICA (HMV), DRIVE (HMV), IRON MAN 1 & 2 (PLAY) and JACK REACHER (Entertainment Store).
Not much bothered about most of the rest.

So, do we finally get to know the weight of a steelbook?

I wish I had turned it on now

 

[leelee17]

WOW, this takes me back to the days of reasonably priced steelbooks..
I even recall back catalogue steelbook re-releases often being approx £11.00 from sites such as Play.com...
My oh my, how times have changed...

 

[Madness]

One of my favorite movies ever. Masterpiece.

No he bought the scales but then couldn't afford the batteries

 

[BDDB]

Wow the pic jumps around a lot when you crop it but I now have the weight included

It keeps running into problems when I try to upload it.
Interestingly it’s a very clear number

 

[BDDB]

Interestingly, I just checked a single disc Steelbook that was not glossy (like this one) and it weighed more

That'll be down to gravity. The clues in the title of the lighter steelbook...

Some steelbooks are thinner, I heard European ones are made of thinner metal, than US ones.

Steelbooks made several years ago are thicker. It seems quality is getting worse.

 

[spookz]

They’re just mass produced, poor quality rubbish now.

My Shout Factory Nightcrawler and Wanted 4k steelbooks are thicker and more weighty. Much better quality with a more sturdy feel compared to other steelbooks.
