I suppose it boils down to how much you want the bonus disc and the cards+booklet.....And are those extras worth $76.00 to you. As you already have the FS Steelbook........

EDIT..../Just Cancelled my copy and the money It would have cost + a bit extra, is going to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Feel much better now....

Naw Im probably going to cancel. I guess I owe you a percentage of the 76 bucks I saved huh And Im not as noble as you cuz the saved money is most likely going to cheaper steelbooks Good job on the donation though.

Hopefully these canceled copies go to collectors who really need this for their collections. And maybe i can get the extras at some point w/o breaking the bank.

Well the question there is will it come with a slipcover being that it's a Warner release. But yeah I agree that the amount being paid is mainly because of the paper slip and artcards included. But that's the risk you take when ordering steel's from Amz Jp. By the time you see the live pics no chance to cancel if it's ends up being a dud. Went ahead and ordered the 3D amaray version for $14.99...lowest price I've seen.

Agree Alex...

Being WB it might come slip less just like The Hobbit.... Not a worry now as someone else can benefit from my cancellation...

Agree mate, I also think it won't have a slip. A sticker maybe, lol.

Sometimes the print quality of Japanese steels can be better than their Euro/US counterparts, but I expect it'll still have a matte finish.

man this is a tough decision.....it's awfully expensive so I'm expecting a really nice package, but I'm not getting the feeling that it will be a nice package, just a sticker or something

I'm definitely leaning towards cancelling, but I'd be really sad if it turns out to be an awesome package

Well you have 2 weeks to decide before they start charging you. I'm still debating as well on what to do...

Just as some have articulated, this steel could be the same as the Future Shop edition plus the art cards and booklet. It would be a big win for me if they use discs with Japanese titles and/or special artwork.

Not cancelling

Oh, Happy Turkey Day to my fellow US collectors!

Well.. Earthscope your thoughts are all make sense, make too much sense enough for me to decide about canceling my order...

 

[alvinhwang21]

looks like this will re-appear more often then before since it seems like majority of people are deciding to cancel their orders...

I'm hoping for TGWTDT type release.

Not at this price. Maybe if it was 8900 yen.

Interesting discussion comparing previous JP releases - this is priced the same as that very nice Jaws edition with booklet and clear slipcover before factoring inflation. Just saying...

I ordered mine on October, 11th I can't wait to see what it is...

Me too!

Jaws was also a catalog title that could be had for cheap on Blu-ray.

One this is for sure. The print run on this is massive. They are going to milk it for everything they can. I bet at least 10,000 run on this one easily.

The best idea is, we all cancelled our copies. So we dont have to talk about this matt finish, high printrun, high shipping cost.
