LOL. Yet, the version without the DVD sold out. That's weird.No i agree. This happens with asian releases. Venom and FFH had it. It's more of a retailer exclusive thing. That disc is excl to amazon.jp, i assume other jp retailers will have the package sans the disc. They were both the same price regardless, so it only made sense to order the excl.
I don't think its sold out. It's just saying it can't be delivered to your country. It would make sense for that to be sold out first though if you think about it. It's a shared, tradewide release in japan. So amazon will only have stock of a certain proportion, whereas only they have stock of their exclusive version of this.LOL.

Nope, but it's super nice all the same.Yes that statue is abysmal. Most of them break, they are too fragile got one from Amazon UK before, just terrible, can't imagine it surviving well from Japan.
Did the Spider-verse version include a steelbook?
To what? It's still showing as the same 10,120 as previous to me?Price drop ....
Strange them putting poster art on small character cards, rather than just having all the villains there.
Wasn't expecting the world, but that's lowered my expectations a bit. I do still think this is probably the best option, given FAC isn't happening, weet will prob also only be wwa and assuming blufans will do one is a stretch given their FFH release issues.As someone who has purchased numerous Japanese exclusive steelbook sets:
1. Wait for price drops. They can go 30-50% off
2. They are nowhere as nice as Korean and China luxury steelbook sets. No debossing/embossing and the finish is just ok. The paper/cardboard they use are also nowhere as nice.
Can someone show some examples of Korean and Chinese luxury steelbook sets please? And include links.
I'll do a comparison pic these couple of days! I have Blufans (China), Mantalab (Hong Kong), Novamedia (Korea), along with the Japanese sets to compare it with.Can someone show some examples of Korean and Chinese luxury steelbook sets please? And include links.
If Weet do a release, even with any one of the existing WWA steelbooks (FilmArena would use both, of course), I think it'd still be better, and cheaper, than this Japanese edition.Wasn't expecting the world, but that's lowered my expectations a bit.

The box set for the previous release had a nice hardcover booklet with many pictures and info in Japanese. The hardcover might make it a bit nicer than a typical booklet from a premium steelbook retailer. And the steelbook has spot gloss. Hopefully, the new steelbook at least has some spot gloss as well.

BTW, anyone know what the booklet is like in this set? The usual Japanese black and white text and sketches with 'newspaper' quality print?
Release date is the 27th, which is Wednesday next week. So I'd probably expect my card to be charged mon/tues, dispatched Wednesday and arrive somewhere between 30th - 2nd (according to my order status).pretty close to release date and still no charge. hmmmm
