You have a perfect steelbook and some other people, but not all people (5000 for all peolpe in the world ???).
So you dont want a new steelbook because you have the exciting steelbook and there is a possibility that a new one is better and you dont want a douple dip.

Further the disc is not perfect, some very good extras are missing.

This year Terminator have his 30th anniversary, so a new steelbook(after two years) is very possible. And with a new one, MGM could make much money.
And THIS mean, there should be a new release.

It would be way better if Kimchi did it.

It would be way better if Kimchi did it.

I'd kind of welcome a Kimchi release, but just from the info they've dropped on the forums, they're not in the business of re-releases. They're doing steels that haven't been released in Korea yet.

Any film can get a re release as a Steelbook
If a studio see a potential to make money they will as will shops who would be selling

I can understand collectors not wanting another release
But if a title has the ability to sell it can happen

Re releases happen all the time sometimes it's a straight re issue or new one with improved picture and new extras
I have films in my collection many times over the years from re releases

I know some collectors don't like a re release because in their minds it can de value the one they have

Reality is steelbooks now lot bigger market than 1 or 2 or 3 years ago
Lot of new Steelbook collectors means re releases or new versions of a previous title getting a release

A shop won't stop stocking a product it will sell regularly
A film studio will always do a new or re release of a big seller

And why ?

Have you any argument ?

All Blu-ray steelbooks except the UK steelbook are nor very good. No inlayprint, no embossing.

People in other countrys deserves better steelbooks !

Sure, but they are from two different studios.

So a new T1 steelbook have nothing to do with a T3 steelbook.

Why not both ?

Or three, the T2 steelbook doesnt matches with the T1, german T3 or T4 steelbook ans looks on my opinion not so good.
It would be great if they use the original poster artwork if Arnie sitting on his Fat BOY

And T2 deserves a new 4K transfer.

People in other countries deserve better Steelbooks so you want a UK retailer to release one?

If everyone requested Steelbooks to be re-released every time they missed out, the hobby would become an even bigger farce than it already is. So why not just stump up the cash for the great Steelbook that already exists?

Recently acquired this Steelbook, in new condition, decided to take off the seal, must say it is very well designed and made, great embossing, a thing of beauty. Worth every bit I paid for it, no gloss but that does not bother me, looks like the remastered disc is included. The Terminator is in my top 5 Steelbooks of all time. :movie:

Well this is simply not true. Have you heard of Korea? China? They make pretty good steels too...

Kimchidvd have Rush, Terminator 2 and Iron man that have all been released as steelbook; I see no reason why someone shouldn't release another version of The Terminator if there's a demand. I have a copy but this isn't my favourite artwork. I prefer the Euro/Asian artwork.

Thinking about it, I would be very pleased if steelbooks were as commonplace as plastic blu ray cases. That might be an incentive to really add value to a product, as Kimchidvd and HDzeta have done with their releases.

@ingo187 Best place to check would be the Sales/Trades thread, there are usually a few people in there that are selling.

I would have got them to sign the slip, not the steel, or atleast the inside.

 

[spawnshop]

That doesn't make sense to me.....if they sign hte inside, I can't really display it. And the slip is only cardboard and can be lost/damaged easier.

[Evil Genius]

I can see both sides of the argument. I have a ton of DVD's and a couple of Blu-ray's signed by people and I always like the covers signed so as to have them easily seen. Some people do like to have the inlay card (if there is one) signed, but like spawnshop said, that (to me) defeats the purpose because it can't really be seen and can be lost.
However, with steelbooks, if I did get any signed in the future I would think twice about getting the outside signed to avoid defacing the front of the steel. Especially if its a nice design, like this is.

So the upshot is, you're both right - and that really doesn't help, does it?...

 

[Blu-devil]

I got the writer of V For Vendetta to sign my Steelbook. He signed the back, the insides and also 5 art cards I had inside. Was well chuffed.

Well...Linda Hamilton has a nice signature. Michael Biehn less so. I had my Robocop steelbook signed by Peter Weller and was pleased, and then Nancy Allen signed a scrawl and I was 'hmm...', so I bought another from ebay!

I think having the stars of the movie sign the steelbook enhances the steelbook and makes it unique; special to you and a memory of meeting the actors. And a 'Terminator' steelbook isn't so incredibly rare - you could get them to sign the German release which is fairly readily available for example and keep your UK version pristine. I still haven't played my Terminator blu ray though because I really miss the original mono soundtrack. One day they'll give it to us, hopefully.

If it's sitting on your shelf it's up to you. I think it looks nice signed. If the signatures are over a generally blank or vacant part of the art, whatever. If they scribbled it over Arnies face, though funny, that'd be annoying. Need a copy of this particualr release myself. I do wish a version would be made with artwork based on the Tech Noir scene.

I can get that. I've got 2 Star trek movie DVD's signed. Star Trek 6 by George Takei who has a really nice signature (also a nice guy to meet) and Generations signed by William Shatner who basically scrawled his signature. Takei's is the one I'm happiest with.

After taken some new pictures of this I really wished this had gotten the gloss treatment. I Think I may have to finally watch this at weekend. (still not watched this since owning it from release day)
