What kind of packaging did they use?

 

[Rodbull]

Are these Asian steels worth the extra cash? as the steels are exactly the same as the HMV versions .....ive just bought the Korean versions of total recall and RE retribution and could of got the UK versions for probably £30 cheaper.

Are they lower in print? Excuse my ignorance only been collecting for a while

Not all. Depends on timing, demand and supply. I have seen many copies of Total Recall TW sell for £32 which is only few quid above the cost price.

Also let's not forget that some slip lovers have the habit of exaggerating and creating a hype to carve a niche and boost demand.

in a box with lots of bubble packing!

I recently won Prometheues TW with booklet for £47 and bought Avatar TW for £27.

Well just bought from kimchidvd the 2 i mentioned with delivery costing me just over £60 with delivery they are the Korean ones though the TW seem to be fancied more do you think that was to much?

Total Cost
Therefore
1338 - 161 + 625 = 1802

Thanks for explaining.
Strange why Google comes up with these translations behind the NT$161 and 625.

Though I can tell you from personal experience that can backfire on you, so beware...

Got my copy from Books.com, and it arrived perfectly. Customs opened up the package, but everything looks to be in order. I was afraid the Steelbook was going to be opened when I opened the box, but it was all good. Looks awesome! Definitely a winner.

I was afraid the Steelbook was going to be unopened when I opened the box, but it was all good.

So they opened it?

 

[RobertJoseph17]

So they opened it?

lol, fixed.

got mine in a box with no bubblewrap. no dents but i have a scratch on the spine and some scuffs on the edge. To top it off, it's been resealed without the sticker.

btw, if anyone has opened their copy, does it have a paperback between the steelbook and the J-card? mine does so am just wondering

WTF? Resealed ones??? Please post some pictures please.

Has everyone else who got this from books.com.tw had this issue?

 

[n3wk1d]

How do you know it's been reseal ?
Different retailer place different seal, books.com do not have those extra sticker like JSDVD as they have lees promotion items.

Perhaps showing a photos on the scratches or scuff would tells a lot more.

I got 2 x IM II - TW , that have different seals on them !! , its not uncommon, especially from Asia

 

[poncholo]

got all three from books.com

the middle is the 'weird' one with the extra thin paper slip, no sticker, cheap wrapping, paint scuff...

I'm tempted to open it just to see wtf is up but i prefer to keep these sealed
