The Maze Runner (Blu-ray SteelBook) [Taiwan]
- Thread starter RabbitChen
- Start date
I definitely think it's worth it, even though the movie never really matched the standards of the book. On top of what everyone else mentioned, the book actually released before Hunger Games and Divergent.
I actually preferred Divergent over this one, but the CGI is really really really good ! It is a good movie nevertheless, so it's really subjective whether Divergent is better over The Maze Runner... all same type of book series, Divergent, The Maze Runner and Hunger Games...book someone said was better than movie but of course this is no surprise. I still enjoyed it for what it was, like I said before what I found was missing was time in the maze, I would have liked to have seen many more maze scenes as I love mazes...
worth grabbing the Steel
WWA Steel, Regular Slip from Taiwan, but it is still nice in my opinion, will have traditional Chinese Characters and Nicely Shrink Wrapped, I don't think anyone will do a better 1/4 slip of this movie...still early but I can bet on it will be the nicest of them all. Will look really nice side by side with Taiwan's Previous Releases...and especially when the second movie comes out will sit nicely with the 2nd movie steel.
I agree, more than likely to be the best 1/4 slip - based on what Film Arena did with the Czech version of As Above, So Below I'm wondering if there's the possibility of a slipcover release of it as it's also one of their limited editions. (Film Arena's As Above, So Below comes with art cards, slip cover, numbering card & sticker + is limited to 100 copies).
If Film Arena also do a slipcover version of The Maze Runner (it's already been confirmed to be limited to 100 copies, to come with art cards & that it's numbered - just not if it'll also come with a slipcover), it could well be the version to go for.
Looks like Film Arena is already sold out of the 100 collectible copies
It appears only the first 100 pre-selected numbers are spoken for, I'm not sure if they will have additional "numbered" past the 100.
Does anyone know how this will work?
To the best of my knowledge only the Group Buy is sold out, you can still order it from Film Arena directly, shipping is just more expensive that way.Looks like Film Arena is already sold out of the 100 collectible copies
The limited collector's edition is still advertised on their site here (I've linked to their English site for convenience) and it is still available for pre-order.
Note the title: The Maze Runner Steelbook™ Limited Collector's Edition - numbered + Gift Steelbook's™ foil (Blu-ray)

I have the Italian one on pre order but thinking of changing to the Taiwan version. These are always awesome.
Unfortunately I cant order the Czech one because they don't deliver to my country. :/

@Mark as you have stated being knew to this hobby and finding it difficult to think of going back to the blu Amaray Case, A Country that Needs to be Paid attention for each release is Taiwan. They make Stunning 1/4 slips to go with WWA Steels;
Taiwan has it all (we're talking slips & minor stuff here not steelbook of course as it's ''World Wide Art steel''(same steel as other countries) as we all know)
But they have a way of making a regular Steel release Stand Out:
They make Kick ass quarter slip that blends in well with the design of the steelbook,
Awesome looking spine 'no other version has that',
Embossed title(not all the time but very often) with traditional Chinese characters,
Sweet sticker that again blends in well with the overall steelbook & slip design
Those who own the 1st TW steelbook of a release will have an amazing looking shelf displaying them both side-by-side 'as both have identical 1/4 slip height.
When aligned on a bookshelf, Spine artwork blends in so well from one release to another, very classy looking feel
Very Thick and tight Shrink Wrap(One of the best if not the best shrink Wrap on the Market)
Finally: Price, Taiwan has a decent Price Tag for a Higher quality finished Package
Just a friendly advice to keep an eye out for the Taiwan releases, they are one of my Favorites.
PS: Thanks for whomever made those points in the CA2 Thread that I borrowed(couldn't have said those points better), I modified them a bit to make them more general to fit any Taiwan release
