I don't know how reliable the following information is, but this was just posted on another board.

"ok, so I've been so anxious to get one of these special edition Sucker Punch steelbooks that I called Gentle Giant today, because people have been saying that they were available at the GG booth at the Comic Con. I figured calling them might be a good place to start.

They put me on the phone with a guy from customer service, who told me that the Sucker Punch steelbooks were being sold on consignment on behalf of Warner Brothers Studios. Whatever quantity was left over (he didn't give me any sense of whether the leftovers were large or small) has gone back to Warner Brothers and will be made available at some point on their website, WBshop.com but he had no sense of what the time frame would be. He said that GG has nothing to do with it anymore, after the Comic Con the whole thing reverted back to Warner Brothers and that's why he doesn't have more insight into it."

I need to say this:

How many times I have read over the forums about the so heated G1's releases but today many people is after this one.

Not me, I G1's.

I am kicking my self in the rear!! You guys feel free and kick me too. I just went to this comic store in West L.A. and I asked for this steely and he told me he sold out about an hour ago. He had 8 copies and sold them for $100 a pop. I am so upset if I would have gone to that comic store first I would have had one. I think I'm feeling sick.

it is simply a question of money ... i am sure that a lower print run is possible

It doesnt seem wothwhile for warner to do a print run of only 800 and then sell for $45.

I agree from a profit perspective. However, the target audience at SDCC were not steelbook collectors. If the price was marked up to $100 due to the limited nature (which it easily could have been), these may not have sold. Us steelbook collectors wouldn't mind paying $100 for this, because we understand the true value, however, a comic book collector who can care less about packaging, may not justify the extra cost.

Darc-I agree-it also depends on the margin-cost vs. sales price-regardless of run. I have no doubt they made money, even at $45, as the manufacturing cost is likely no where near $45. In addition, these types of "Exclusives" are "perks" for special events and not cash cows for Warner. Their BD discs and other "staple" items in their shop are mass produced, but any "limited time" or "limited ed" items, are all rotated through,until the next best thing comes along, for them to market-just the nature of the movie merchandising business. Hopefully if and when they appear on their website, they are priced in line with a mainstream audience, so they can move the remaining copies, sooner rather than later. If true, and they appear on their regular retail site, the price will flatten everywhere very quickly, until those copies are sold out. Anyone wanting to put their copy up on Ebay, probably should do so quickly, if in fact, they will appear on WB site (and we won't know, until they're actually up on the site)-especially if they hope to fetch some kind of "larger" margin,imo.

Great post DB

Will be interesting to see whether or not the first auction closes at $300 tonight.

 

[BasicGreatGuy]

37 minutes to go, and the bid just bumped to $255.00 At that price, I would trade for a sealed mint Iron Man. lol

It ended at $271.00

is there any inside art work in this steel?

Don't think anyone will know til someone actually opens one up. I know I'm not opening mine up anytime soon.

 

[jimmy]

If you look on the back (paper sheet) you can see there is inside art-work.

Ha ha, can't believe nobody caught that before.

 

[ocielz]

Now for only back cover pictures without the paper covering it up.

 

[aklass]

This is getting insane. This has got to be just because of the supposed rarity, right (movie stinks, tons of other Steels out there)?
Imagine when suddenly a bunch of these will be sold anywhere else...
