a little birdie told me it wouldnt be a reprint .... so we'll have to wait and see. But just an FYI that you most likely shouldnt expect the glorious steel that is shown in this thread.

So it is going to be a re-release then?

Man, i hope it's different. I'd love to add another Oldboy steelbook to my collection.

One of my favorite, and most beloved movies, ever.

That didn't take long!!

Ps. Wreck said this steel is glorious...should add £10 onto the market value EASILY.

 

[Starling]

That should then give more focus on this beauty.

I really don't understand why this never became more sought after. In my opinion it's one of the best looking steelbooks out there (even without any embossing), it's definitely one of my favourites.

I agree but the problem is that most steelbook exclusives in the UK gets bought up by scalpers hoping to make a quick buck and it really hurts the value when there's plenty of copies to be bought on ebay.
It also creates a false hype and expectation that this will be valueable and sought after but when there's 100's of scalpers buying several dozen each the steelbook in question takes a big hit.

i cant see these selling,all over ebay cheap

good for people that missed out i guess,is a great film

 

[SimonLDT]

Why will there be another steelbook edition of this film? The demand just isn't there. These are going for peanuts, I practically had to give my spare away lol.

The artwork for the October 2013 release is the same as previous one on Zavvi :

good for people that missed out i guess,

lol I don't think anyone missed out, it's called not enough interest for this steel and flooded everyone you can get pretty much cost price if you look around.

Has it been established whether or not this Zavvi release of OldBoy is actually a new printing, or just new old ex-PLAY.com stock?

Is there any way to find out a definite answer to this?

don't think this is going to be a Zavvi only release? Considering the release date I think it's more likely that this is a new printing.

Indeed. Amazon UK has this title available for pre-order - currently £12.96, "This title will be released on October 21, 2013".
