If you ever get around to selling any of your collection can I have fist dibs on your oop print steels as I assume they'll go for cost price? Hang on sorry what's that? you won't sell me Iron Man for £10.99? didn't think so

The word scalper is normally saved for those that buy 20 of everything simply to resell to others and normally are not collectors, I assume you are like myself a collector who buys one for personal use?

I have missed out on many steels I wanted due to the eBay crowd who snaffle them all up to make money on them and these are the people I cannot stand and it brings me nothing but joy when I see their cash cows taken away by news like this of reissues.

This one snuck right past me just sprinkle it with some Embossing powder and we are good to go

Ok fair enough I feel your pain but lets not bring unnecessary negativity into the thread with these type of comments it never ends up in a good place (threads get locked etc) and you are only assuming they're scalpers and not normal collector's like ourselves

Anyone on eBay with the words steel & book anywhere in their user name and more than 10 copies available is a scalper in my eyes I am afraid.

Best movie of my childhood must have for me!!

 

[tridon]

Backwards spine on a UK release?

 

[SaberTooth]

Reamasted movies are always welcome, but why did they even bother with last year's steelbook?

To get our money twice hmmm? ...makes u wonder what they got planned in 2015 :movie:


...anyway unless this steelbook has a premium gloss finish, i'll be sticking with last years rarer 4k run edition, and will swap in the remasted disc when its on sale

Backwards spine on a UK release?

That's a deal breaker for me if it stays like that

What has been seen cannot be UNSEEN!

 

[ALK]

Looks good, if they decide to emboss the title, at least Robocop will be within the border and such. Here's hoping for a nice shiny silverness to it...

 

[Scarface]

so much nicer than the other uk one that was released imo, guess I'l cancel the french copy

 

[Smash41]

I'll ask what everyone else is thinking.

Will there be a steelbook for RoboCop 3?

 

[darczap]

That's a weird cover imo. Robocop looks like a giant in that shot.

 

[Ashisarobot]

Ugh!

Same manky art as the French steel!

Too much dead space and not representative of the film as a whole.

The original cinema poster art would of been a far better option.

Still a remastered 4K print means It‘ll have to be purchased.

I loved the artwork, until you said that ^

Once you see it...

i actually said the same thing to my brother when i first saw the french art lol

I knocked this up quickly:

Gloss treatment on the chrome and it would be a classic.

Sorry, didn't mean to ruin it for you

Look at the sidewalk. It's so tiny compared to Robocop. It looks like he can put one foot on it lol. Hopefully it will look more proportionate in hand.

i don't thinks so!....not double dip in my case!
