so it appears they cancelled their special edition, and we only have a trade wide steelbook to look forward to Hooltra? is that correct?

Hi

Is it still a Steelbook? Or a Amary?
I got this email too and do not understand it exactly 'why I ask you whether it is still a Steelbook? Simply no 24 page booklet that is so right? I just do not want after 10 Amary.
Wen anyone of you can answer me this, I would be very happy.

One more question, the Steelbook looks exactly, or does she look like the Amazon France with blue cover?

The HMV edition is the one to get. I heard it's not an FNAC exlusive any longer.

Listing on amazon.fr looks like a metalpak.

In fact, i think it is the same steelbook everywhere. It is a FNAC Exclusive with the comic book and the sticker.

In the same way, Riddick FNAC Exclusive is OOS on the website but it'll be available on store in small quantity for saturday.

Looks like a Dredd / Bullet to the Head style Tin (very nice they were as well!)

Ugh. I'm only in for a steelbook. Guess we'll see soon enough!

Hi,

I find my copy today in boulanger store and cultura
So: No exclusive Fnac edition

 

[apsmith21]

Thanks for posting Fajiats!

Any inside art?

I've linked the picture in-line so it's easier to see.

So glad I waited before I pulled the trigger. Not a big fan of this version.

Hi,

I find my copy today in boulanger store and cultura
So: No exclusive Fnac edition
View attachment 57661

There is still a Fnac exclusive, it's the same steelbook but WITH a comic book and it has a different ean (barcode)
It's not the first time that the only difference between the Fnac exclusive and the regular one is just the booklet...

My local Fnac store will receive 15 copies of it.

By the way Cultura and Boulanger take many risks selling it before the day one...
The french law is strict: 4 months minimum between the release in theaters and release on video.
Date for Riddick was the 18th of September so it's strictly forbidden to sell it before the 18th of January...

I confirm for the FNAC exclusive edition, OOS on FNAC.com for many reasons.

Only the FNAC Exclusive on pre-order, no regular edition on pre-order, then everybody pre-ordered the FNAC Exclusive.
In other parts, Amazon.fr communicate with a visual of a pathetic blue Metal Pak, not really popular and for the same price.
Necessarily, the FNAc Exclusive is quickly OOS and it seems it the same UPC code for the 2 editions (the regular and FNAC Exclusive) generate a problem of management of stock

There is a ratio of 30% of FNAC Exclusive for each store in fact. Approximately 30 copies in my FNAC of Rouen. They received the stock today and the day one is for Saturday

Fnac do the same thing, i bought Lone ranger and Monster university a several day before the official release date.
But i'm okey with you, it's dangerous game playing by this store!!!!
And by the way, no booklet are sell in the fnac steelbook.
My Fnac are receive 10 copy and no booklet, fnac wait the day one for sell their copy
