Looking forward!

 

[tealfan]

Watching this thread. Thanks for the info! Just "Fifth Element" & "Leon the Professional" for me

 

[steelbobawny]

Really looking forward to these releases, good prices, I hope the artwork does these movies justice, going to wait till we have the pictures in early October. Will they all have inside artwork too?

 

[mnementh]

Tommy for me. Looking forward to seeing the art

 

[Aw 83]

Thanks for the info looking out for these titles...

@zerox39 Do we know when art will be confirmed and posted for these?

I just got word that we can't show the art until Late October

Meh! Too many on that list that have already had a releases, especially Leon! We've had 2 this year already, one premium release from kimchi and UK one from StudioCanal do we really need another.

Gutted Gattaca didn't make the cut would have snapped that up in an instant, hasn't even had a standard release in UK yet!

These haven't been released on steelbook before:
Superbad
Desperado (not released as an individual movie)
Dr Strangelove
Karate Kid
Tommy
Kung Fu Hustle
Easy Rider
Stripes

Snatch only had the NL stickerbook release
Fifth Element & Taxi Driver only have region B steelbooks and they are both pretty popular movies

Focus on the positive fellow ninja. And this wave looks pretty positive to me! (Pending artwork )

 

[Shadow of Light]

Ummm ... this just saved me a whole wad of cash. Not a single title interests me except maybe, just maybe, Fifth Element. Then again, have the zavvi steelbook of it already. Easy pass for this wave.

Hook & Jumanji would've been very nice to have in the collection.

Cheers!

I can't believe region coding is still an issue for many. I think any serious Steelbook collector should consider investing in a region free player if they haven't already. It's great when you don't have to factor region coding into your purchasing decisions

I already had a PS3 for watching Blu-Rays, so I got my gf a region free player for christmas.. Does that count?

Also, is there any news on this release coming to the US?

This run is being made specifically for Best Buy USA, we were just lucky enough to tag on and put a sticker on our copies.
The USA will be getting 2 more titles. I only remember Raid redemption out of the 2 though

 

[rj531]

@zerox39 I would have traded any of the titles for The Raid

Wow, that seems backwards. Usually we're hoping to get what FS gets, and now FS is tagging along with a Best Buy order??

I would have loved to have the Raid here, but it belongs to a different vendor in Canada. The art I saw was the best I've seen yet for that title.

WOw! I'd go for District 9 and Superbad... I wish I found out about this sooner.. I actually bought the Kung Fu Hustle at Zavvi for my asian movie collection. *regret*
