That just happened to me lol. I didn´t know about this Auslian releases untill now and i nearly got an heart attack when i saw that pic.
I hope this doesn´t come true but if they make a different cover art i´ll definitely get me a copy.

 

[Incubali]

thats too much ... i think i will sell my sealed iron man copy :/

 

[Wreck]

Hmmmm things get Interesting .... so far my contacts know nothing of these titles ; I'll reach out further see what I can dig up ...

If this next person says no too, then they might not be steelbook ; might be some other metal packaging.

So lets hope for great looking Viva Metal Boxes then

I would love to have Steelbooks of these titles from Australia BUT with different/new artwork!!!

But maybe these "breaking news" will get some people to sell their IM FS cheap to me

 

[Wreck]

Well .... I just seen pic of a Blu-ray MetalPak for Star Trek (granted it had an NL rating logo on it) but it makes you wonder what this wave really is ... AU is well known for mislabeling their metal packaging.

Still waiting tho to hear from my AU contact tho regarding this...

 

[digitalbabe]

Be kinda cool if they did 'Steel Cases' like Gladiator, etc. Not a 'collector' of that packaging, but I may fall for Star Trek, haha...

 

[biscuitnoir]

Yeah I'd love for them to be Metal Slips, although Saving Private Ryan already has one in Australia so I'm not sure at all, unless they do a re-release, but this is not Australia's style now is it

 

[Wreck]

Great news ....

We’ve found out its not SteelBooks but ‘metal cases’, which they are going to use for these titles releasing in July and August.

 

[WKRP]

That sucks.

 

[ocielz]

Great news ....

Metal Slip cases or VIVA cases??

 

[CraigH]

Usually that means slipcase - crossing my fingers!

Although it would suck a bit if the Saving Private Ryan was a re-release. I personally wouldn't complain because it's one of my favourite movies and I've been desperately chasing a SPR slip!

I'm a bit miffed as to why they wouldn't release all three Transformer movies in the steel/metal format though.

 

[Ricker]

Nice one J-ya gonna give some people the hershey squirts!

YOU KILL ME DB!

 

[BURRAGUM]

OH YEH have my fingers crossed for metal slips

 

[cooey]

Damn

 

[Wreck]

They havent released a metal slip since they started making Viva's ... and since its same company inter-linked I would guess viva ... but I wasnt about to get into those particulars with a company irrelevant to both products ... so time will tell. Best I could do! I'm always trying to fight against a re-release of any holy grails ... and anyone mad at that just know, that when stuff in your current collection becomes a rare collectible one day I'll do my best to fight against that reprint as well! It all comes full circle! But even I cant be clued in on all releases so when things squeak in, I'm hurtin just like the rest of ya'.

 

[CraigH]

If they do end up being Viva Cases, let'sjust hope they're up there in quality with Senna and Tron. Those two titles along with the BluFans exclusives have helped with the "acceptance" of the viva cases. Still to this day I prefer them over steelbook
