Universal 'Comic' (Reel Heroes) Wave (Blu-ray SteelBooks) [USA]

[8bitninja]

[DISCLAIMER:] I put this together to help members who are looking for the USA version of the Universal 'Comic' Wave Blu-ray Steelbooks. Let me state that I don't want to mislead anyone with false information, so MODs if need be, please edit this thread as you see fit.

Amazon lists these titles as not being released until June 25, 2013, but some of the titles have appeared for purchase in store on May 7, 2013 at Walmart. See the following image (specifically, the top row of SteelBooks):

Thanks to Danchez @ BD

Therefore, unless I receive confirmation, it should be assumed the remaining titles (Hot Fuzz, Hulk, The Mummy, Paul, Shaun Of The Dead) won't be released until June 25, 2013.

Ok so i guess i will have to wait to get these from amazon.I just checked bestbuy and its still not there. But its online for shipping but i got amazon prime so i get free 2 day shipping.So unless the price drops online at bestbuy i will have to wait until amazon ships mine.

 

[rc64209]

Target has the five i previously stated for 12 bucks a piece. Going to check the wb steels at bb after work. Will update if bb has changed the price on the universals.

Edit: this post prob fits best in the steelbook deals thread...

Whats the finish like on these compared to the German ones?
There are a couple of titles i want and not sure where to go for them, US or DE...

Yeah I'd like to know this as well please. Got a few on order but in two minds as to cancel or not.

 

[rc64209]

My bb still has the comic wave for 14.99. Shaun of the dead was fully restocked today. So looks like bb is still getting more in. Still no price change. Side note not all wb steels were 9.99. Lotr's were still 14.99.

They are a matte finish with the credits on the back and no inside art.

Looking forward for to future releases. Loved the Walmart / Best Buy Invasion!

Cheers. Any spot gloss on the titles at all, or completely flat?

Thanks

completely flat, no gloss at all. i like them that way though, they don't take fingerprints easily. i've got to exchange my Serenity today though as i noticed the spine was broken down the plastic seam about 2 inches long.

 

[mllNY]

these are up for pre-order at Target but at $14

Finally had a chance to check these out at a local Best Buy and they're really not bad, but the lack of inside art just kills it for me. Would have bought at least 2-3 but no inside art = pass for me. Maybe next time.

While I was at a Wal-Mart (shudders) this past Sunday, I picked up two of these. They were practically sold out of every single one they had. I thought I was lucky to pick up Serenity and Scarface. Now, I will taking back both copies as I just ordered the UK Serenity steel and the OOP american steel of Scarface.

I first thought this comic book style wave from Universal was kind of cool, but I'm actually starting to dislike them. Not to mention the lack of interior art. I also don't need a DVD version either. So yeah, my two copies I got will be going back to Wal-Mart.

Just make your own inside art I do it all the time.

Great idea but I don't have a high enough quality printer.

Barnes & Noble has a Buy 2 Get One Free sale and these steels are part of that. They are also marked at $14.11 a piece. So that works out to 28.22 + tax for 3 (and free shipping)

All 16 costs $166.10 total (7% sales tax) or $155.23 before tax (get 5 free)

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/steelbook?keyword=steelbook&startat=31&store=allproducts

My only option for getting these was Amazon since my Wal-Mart and Best Buy haven't been carrying them yet. This saves me close to $60

 

[mllNY]

anyone see these in their local stores

 

[digitalbabe]

A couple of weeks ago I saw some at a Walmart...
