in my experience, amazon.fr no longer stock the Steelbook edition.

The Steelbook can still be found in some stores but it is very rare

No, it is still very much there on Amazon.fr

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00605MY0S/?tag=hidefnin0a-21

The only problem is it doesn't say steelbook in the listing and never has. Perhaps they have run out of Steelbooks and are sending amarays, someone who has ordered recently would know more. You can't always trust the images they put up.

That's the problem with ordering from Amazon.fr. You're best hope is to order when the listing states Steelbook, but when it doesn't it's just a pure gamble

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

I've ordered a few from there in the past and always received a SB...but haven't tried recently. Its certainly a great looking steel, good luck

 

[digitalbabe]

Amazon.fr often sends out either Amaray or Steel, so just be careful. Even if a Steelbook cover is pictured you may not get it,and there is no way for them to separate the stock internally, per their own statement. At release it's easier, but as time goes on, you may end up with an Amaray.

I'm in Paris and there are bunch of these at 15€ (10€ if you take 3 titles).

Will you be picking up a few copies?

Another member said they ordered from here http://www.amazon.es/Thing-Francia-Blu-ray-Elizabeth-Winstead/dp/B00605MY0S/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359211397&sr=8-1-fkmr0 and received the steelbook. I was worried about receiving the steelbook or the amaray when i ordered this from amazon.fr when it first came out Im glad the steelbook arrived.Hopefully ordering from amazon.es takes the whole russian roulette feel out of the purchasing experience.

For everyone interesting,i got the steelbook version from amazon.es.Actually it says in product description "caja metalica"

 

[Buddusky]

I received the steelbook from amazon.es today. It was a bit of a gamble after all I read but decided to go for it and glad I did

 

[ainsleyb]

This does look very nice, even though the film isn't a patch on the original.

 

[nickforall1987]

hello
which version of the thing is the most rare?

 

[blumaster]

I think both versions are still available on Amazon, so neither particularly.

Will you be picking up a few copies?

Never bought more than one copy of any steelbook.

I buy it just for me, not to resell them.

FYI for anyone that still wants this, i ordered it from the link in the OP two weeks ago, and i received today the same steelbook in the OP's pics

i only paid 19EURO for it shipped to USA, price seems to have gone back up now

 

[goufcustom]

Still one of my favorite steelbooks so far, really nice finish and debossed title, only let down is no inside artwork...

 

[NinjaFeetz]

Wow, I didn't even know this movie was remade- unless I'm starting to get old and just forgot. Going to get a copy and just stick the original into the case.

it wasnt remade, this is a prequel to the original

It's pretty good, nothing on the original but it answers some questions, might pick this up.

Nice steel but shame about the lack of artwork on the inside so I made my own.

Also swapped out the single insert and put John Carpenter's original in there as well
