That guy in the picture looks freaked out

I hope the German one is comparable to this one, b/c this one is nice!

 

[Shanester]

That back cover looks sweet!

 

[darczap]

I told myself I wasn't getting this because I had the German version on order. Well, so much for that. I'm getting this one too

Thing steelbook

I went to Amazon France and the listing for this has no mention of it being a steelbook, although the cover is identical to the one shown in these posts. So how can you be assured of getting the steelbook if you do order from Amazon.fr?

 

[blu-steel]

I hope I don't end up with a box of amarays

 

[spawnshop]

This looks nice, but I already pre-ordered the German one.....hope that looks just as good as this. I might have to get this one.....

So the only version of this film on Blu Ray in France is a steelbook? (There's only one amazon.fr listing for it on Blu Ray) Bit unusual, no?

 

[joswin93]

the art on this looks amazing, is there anywhere you can still get them or anyone that has one

 

[freedom88]

You can get it from amazon.fr

Though nowhere does it say it's a steelbook, which traditionally means you get sent an amaray!

 

[bigrob]

oh that's nice!!!!!!!

I was of the understanding that in cases where steelbook is not specified on amazon.fr but we know there is one then the first pressing was always steelbook then after they sold out of those they sent an amaray.

Therefore, if that is the case, any pre-orders will be sent a steelbook (don't hold me to that )

 

[VRob98]

Yeah that's true, Grapey, I'm just being alarmist

Actually I'd thought that even on releases that were steelbooks only for the first print run they still listed them as 'boitier metal' until the stock had been depleted. Maybe it varies?

 

[Masterblaster]

Oh believe me amazon.fr site is like playing roulette...sometimes you win sometimes you lose..

Since I'm doing a GB on another forum I will have 2 leftover so anyone want one pm me and I'll reserve it for you...

Take care

Hi.
I bought my steelbook thursday in the store "Carrefour Market". I read on an other forum français than another buyer bought it in another store "Boulanger" Saturday. It's still a steelbook.

Carrefour que de souvenirs

Thanks for the info

 

[Natombi]

J'ai les bluray souvent une semaine en avance à Carrefour.

On another forum i read than Fnac sell the steelbook too. So i think amazon its ok for the SB too.
