They don't say ''exclusive'' so i'm guessing amazon, archambault and HMV will have it ! And i'm sure they will put them on sale soon

Pretty sure as @bonakaze mentionned that this ain't an exclusive so Amazon ships worldwide.
BUT they are not custom friendly as I am

I knew Canada would follow suit. But I can already picture this going on sale. What do you think? $12.99 or $13.99?

12.99$ ! Yes please, i would also like a star wars sheld like harry potter But since its not exclusive, we'll never get one. I just want episode 7, 8 and 9 with matching artwork

I doubt it. If they made matching art then you'd only buy 7, 8, and 9. They wouldn't be able to resell these 6 steels to you again

I'm still missing 6 and 7.1 from that Harry Potter set.

Thanks for the great pictures
Are the gloss with debossed titles?

Also, do you or anyone know if these are Region A locked?

I thought about getting them from Canada but just had a look at your j card and saw the big A on it

Yup, wonderful Gloss (not over-the-top as it's not such a fingerprint magnet) and yes debossed title.

For the coding Region, YES, it does say Region A, but not tested on other region player. It seems like the same discs as the 2011 Star Wars: The Complete Saga that were Region Free...

Speaking of the 2011 Star Wars: The Complete Saga, the MAJOR difference with this 6 steelbooks set is that in the previous edition, there was an additionnal 3 discs of Bonus Feature that ain't present this time. So, I'll keep my original set for viewing and this set for the steels for the "one day arrival" of the original untouched trilogy

oh that is a brilliant idea! I wish those would arrive sooner rather that later!
I wish that they would have used the back art for the front. Would have been so much nicer!

Awesome! Many thanks for the info @Drum18
Looks like I might get these after all with that price

It's a shame that steelbooks don't always come with the bonus content that already available, seems tight not to put all the discs in
