Sorry if it's been asked already but are these region free?

Do we know if these are region free?

So yes, it's been asked before...

And the answer:

All previous versions have been region free and there are no other distributors used for Star Wars on BD so there is no reason to lock the discs.

Seeing as how many stores are getting these (Best Buy, Target, Walgreens, etc.), do you guys think they'll be all that difficult to get tomorrow? Limited quantities?

 

[ChrisIW]

So yes, it's been asked before...

And the answer:

Thanks, though it turns out I can't get them anyway . Yet again I went to order (from Fox Connect this time) and they do not deliver to the UK

So it seems we're forced to pay 50% more for these in the UK...

Have you tried Amazon.ca ???

@Drum18 you're a legend . Just ordered the lot from Amazon.ca for just over £77 even with shipping included, so I'm very happy with that.

Thanks buddy

That is cheap, just had a look too but I think that don't include any import or custom charges so are you sure that will be your final price?

Mine with .com has a import deposit already. (Check page before for a pic I posted)

Unlikely this seems like a mass flooded product that will be lounging in discount bins in 6 months.

I'd actually be very curious to know the global print run. This has got to be one of the largest prints ever for a steelbook, let alone a set of Steelbooks.

Good. I hope that means Epi. VII, VIII, IX will follow in the same design:

@Ricker WHAT!? "dummy"?! Those are fighting words!

LOL! I knew that! Smart ass!

Wonderful! I too hope they continue with the same design and not make a fool of us by changing it right now...

There was no mention of it on my Canadian order, so it's entirely possible I will have those charges at this end. However the UK price is so steep that I imagine it will still be much cheaper than buying the exact same thing in my own country....which is frankly ridiculous

Wonderful! I too hope they continue with the same design and not make a fool of us by changing it right now...

Well they really ought to carry on the same style, it's not like there's going to be massive time gap between the release of these steelbooks and the new one in the shops - so this wave SHOULD still be on their minds . Also, if they keep the same theme going people will feel more inclined to get the whole set....maybe?

 

[dfoles]

I'm guessing, at the lowest possible end, if there are 16 countries each doing these releases and each country has a minimum print run of 2000, that the lowest possible run on these is 32,000 per movie.
But I'm guessing countries like Canada, USA, the UK, France, and Germany probably have higher print runs than that, maybe 4000. That's an additional 10,000 units. And I'm also speculating that the Original Trilogy will have a higher run than the Prequel Trilogy.

I wouldn't be surprised if it the number were closer to 50,000 per movie.

 

[sirdizzy]

These are gorgeous btw, the embossing on the star wars title is amazing, the gloss is great, the art is perfect front to back and inside, price point is spot on. Only thing missing is a digital copy

 

[digitalbabe]

Also $14.99 each here http://bit.ly/1Y2tpGS

They are all really nice, but they are going to have a lot of returns. the thick hard security tag is under the j-card. 8 of the 12 I picked up all were dented because of it

Thanks for the heads up on that... did you already return those 8?
