Cancelled one of my zavvi's and replaced with this one. I have spent a small fortune on taiwan steels the last few weeks lol. Just cant get enuff of those wonderful slips

So what's the census on this one is this the release to get.

Depends on how keen you are to have the movie title in Chinese. It's the only difference to the UK one (apart from region code, of course), and for me that's just not enough to make the extra expense worthwhile. Others will think differently.

I think so, its only $6 more than the uk for a lil more rarity and the great taiwan slip

If people are happy to wait, the UK release will drop below 10 making it even more desirable. Remember Battleship, Snow White, Ted and Bourne Legacy, they all dropped under 10 after 3~6 months.

 

[sunnyx]

yeah but that is a 3-6 month wait lol

Patience is virtue for me with so many Steelbooks being released. Market is flooded with so many Steels and you get great bargains in eBay if you don't give up. Nowadays I purchase select titles only when the price significantly drops.

For a UK buyer it's much more expensive than that. Once shipping and potential customs fees are factored in, the Taiwan version comes in at anywhere between £10-30 more expensive than the UK one. Pretty big difference when it's essentially the same steelbook and slip.

I agree but hes from canada and the c$ is real close us$

 

[frankfish44]

I highly doubt this will sell out quickly considering there isn't much to differentiate it from the UK edition. Not really worth the extra $$$ considering I could pick this up down the line for a fraction of the original cost as most other Asian steels

 

[RzSamurai]

Do they ship to the US? if so how much does it usually cost?

Thanks guys!

Off subject a little
But I've seen the US metalpak unboxing and it looks amazing.. With the artwork a little different..

Feel free to move to the US thread..

 

[DJHilalo]

Looks nice and simple although I wish they put a bit more effort into this by complementing it with a spine

 

[VRob98]

The very subdued slip makes it an easy pass for me, but then unless Japan surprise us I don't expect that any of the Asian versions will look any better than the UK version.

That hi-gloss US metalpak looks nice though. The different artwork is a big plus.

 

[earthscope]

Yep, glad I cancelled my order for this now!

As my man Rob said I think the UK one is just as nice, unless JP surprises us with a special slip...

And that FS Metalpak looks very nice with the high gloss finish.

If this came with a booklet I would get it. As it stands, I'm going to get the UK steel, swap the discs with the Target edition and stick the booklet inside the steel.

 

[lgans316]

Poor slip but the Steelbook looks matte to me.

I will buy the UK version when the price drops below 12 or 10 like Ted, Snow White, Battleship etc.
