Is it region locked then?

What if it has a different back too :bow:

it would be nice to get rid of the dreaded squares have something a bit more special in its place common fs

Any news on when the artwork will be published like Zavvi does?

 

[BluSteel2012]

I'm sure eBay will be loaded with these and the option will be there to pick one up at a reasonable price in a few months with the demand drops. I think the FutureShop Hunger Games 'D12' Steelbook can still be picked up at a decent price. If not, then so be it for me.

The whole 'title' thing doesn't bother me at all so I'm sticking with my Zavvi order as I got it at a reduced price with a voucher.

Any idead what region is this? I hope its region free

For those other Canadian members, the price of Thor went down from $32.99 to $26.99, I only noticed because my pre orders were different prices.

How can you be sure about the future? And why should one hesitate now just to pay a "resonable" price few months later? Do you know that it's going to be cheaper for sure?

"Doesn't bother you at all"? Not even the fact that the debossed title makes this edition unique compared to the worldwide releases? The best example is the german Kick-Ass 2 steelbook. While the artworks and the finish are the same as the UK version, the german version has debossed title. Now the german version is OOS, while you can still find the UK version everywhere.

OK, I feel the need to explain myself as there seems to be a personal witch hunt......

YES, the whole title thing DOESN'T BOTHER ME. I don't know what part of that is hard to understand? It doesn't bother me if the U.S. is debossed and sells out. What you failed to include from my previous quotes above is that if it does sell out, so be it. It's not the end of the world for me.

I don't know the future, of course (as you don't either) But again, what you removed from my original quote above, is I was comparing this to other FS releases such as Hunger Games 'District 12' which is still widely available to this day. Which is debossed and still the best Steelbook of that movie IMO.

If Thor 2 falls under this category and I can pick it up cheaper down the line, then great. Right now, I don't have the money to fund a quite hefty GB Tag. (IMO) Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate all the hard work that Ninjas put into it. And I have participated in my share. But with tracked postage costs and fees, I feel that it adds up to too much for one title that I already have on preorder much cheaper (albeit minus a title!!)

Please don't quote someone out of context or remove some of their original comments to make your own arguments as it's very frustrating.

Let's agree to disagree guys each of their own tastes...we could discuss about these stuffs forever and ever

I'm not that kind of person who twists comments to justify his thoughts, as there was just no need to quote the rest imo. I could follow your point of view very well (just don't agree).

Nevertheless, I am not going to response to every sentence of you now, as both of us have better things to do than to debate endlessly. In the end, we are both ninjas who love steelbooks

Might have to hold off with the Thai version and watch this, hopefully it looks good with the title added.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Agree. Now back on topic!

No you can't ! It's sold out on amazon and only available from third party sellers at double the price. And it's also sold out on Zavvi... Plus no copys available at HMV in London either. So its hardly available everywhere.....

Back on topic now....

 

[lgans316]

When are we going to see a preview of the artwork?

 

[cooey]

There's a preview of the artwork in the OP

 

[lgans316]

Thanks but sorry. This is not good enough for me. Would prefer the artwork revealed in full like this instead of having to wait until the last minute.

http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/thor-2...n-steelbook-includes-2d-version/10867175.html

 

[cooey]

You'll have to be patient and wait then Once it's posted on the website we'll update the OP. Unfortunatly none of the staff here have insider info for Futureshop to get the full artwork.

Maybe you can try and contact Scanavo and ask them for a full reveal artwork, come back and post it here for us

 

[lgans316]

Wondering how people will react if UK based retailer didn't reveal the artwork?

 

[timinator]

MAYBE THEY CAN RELEASE THE 1ST THOR IN STEELBOOK
BE LONELY BY UTSELF

 

[BluSteel2012]

Why the fascination with the artwork? Is it not going to be the same design everywhere? Apart from the obvious.
