I am really happy about this re-release. Watchmen is my second favourite comic book film. And I love that steelbook. I do have UK version,which is beautiful as well. Can't wait :oohyeah:
 
I think the 19.99 price on this is Meh if it was $14 id be happier. I will def buy if its glossy for the 19.99 price. As for inside art Ive become quite fond of putting my own in granted not as nice and neat as some of the professionals on here... To be honest I would be shocked if they did not release Iron man at some pint with the same art HOWEVER i doubt it would be embossed. Would not mind seeing the Harry potter steels as well.
 
I'm glad as I missed the original but still worried they might do the same as Zavvi with white batmans. Leave this artwork up for a few days then change once they get official one. Ill be keeping a close eye on this thread to see if artwork stays or to see if they decided to change.

Edit: worryingly only amazon are showing this artwork so I can detect another artwork switch like we had with white batmans :(

EDIT x 2:

WB shop is now showing same image :scat:

Whoa is me, looks like Stevo's lucky streak will come to an end lol. But I'm not here to vent. To all you collectors out there with this steel, I would not worry about it all the sudden loosing all of its value, as matter of fact, bidding on this item on ebay is at a record high for this. Think about it, how many versions of Thor are there? 10-12? They all bid over $100. Now, indeed if this is re released, there would be 2 identical versions. Why can't 2 versions of FS Watchmen artwork bid over $100, if 12 versions of Thor can? No ones gonna tell me Thor's a better looking steel than this one.

It may have the exact identical artwork, but it will definitely not have the identical stickers. Big deal you say? Thats what I say too, but it is a BIG deal. Why is HMV Thor worth so much more, with only that dull white HMV sticker? Why are the various Asian releases worth so much more because of the sticker? Do you now smell what the Stevo is cookin? If you have the FS release, IMHO, you would be very very unwise to unload this on ebay. I'm not getting rid of any of mine, thats for damn sure.

As for this re release, I don't like it........I LOVE IT! That blue banner on the top makes this steel look absolutely amazing, getting this one for damn sure. I hope this release is exactly what is shown on this thread. That blue banner can also distinguish it from the FS version. Then we can have the IAL situation, where that blue banner on top decides which one goes for $20, and which one goes for $200, but only in reverse this time.

All the US Watchmen releases were marked as Region A but they were all region free. I'll bet this one is region free too.

I think this will be much closer to the Zombieland (DE) scenario. The similar looking steelbook rerelease will not pulvarize the value of the original, but it will lose about 50% of its value - and of its appeal to collector's....

We'll see about that, time will tell. I believe FS Watchmen is heads and shoulders above Zombieland, in looks and popularity myself.
