If it's G2, and if some people want it, I can take some copies at my store when it goes out

If anyone from the US or Canada missed out on the UK steelbook, I ordered a few of these in case there's some interest.

Roughly the same cost as the UK one - check the group buy forum for more info.

Hard to tell - might just be the booklet messing up the perspective.

besides Region B Locked, any chance that this release would have forced France subtitle? after UK version has been sold out, well, perhaps this is my only option to have my favorite summer movie of the year in SB

Who says it's region B locked? Is that confirmed? I have 6 French Fox Blu-rays, and 4 of them are region free (or at least AB).

ANd forced subs... Doesn't really sound something Fox would...

@ralfers wow, nice info

i've only based my statement based on apsmith21's bout the release before this, Wolverine

The UK amaray says it Region B locked, US Amaray states Region A locked. but who knows maybe the French edition will be Different.

Thanks Justin, OP updated with additional pic.

Ah ok, didn't know that If those are locked, it is indeed likely this one will be locked too...

I can't wait for the final picture of this one.....it has a complete circle...and FIRST CLASS is not printed twice

 

[gbdragon]

My favorite X-Men film, I'll have to get one of the Region A versions!

Anyone can please confirm if this is definately a G2 Steelbook. I am thinking of ordering however doesn't mention anywhere 'boitler Metal' so thinking could be standard amaray version.

Thank you

That is what I was thinking too....almost looks like a slip cover on a standard Amaray

Yeah, but on pics like that as you are mentioning, they don't have the outline of the steelbook spine.

In addition, amazon.fr doesn't always update their listings correctly, but the FNAC listing, which shows the same picture, including the booklet has indicated it is indeed a steelbook.

FNAC does ship to the UK, but remember, returns are not as easy as they are with amazon sites. I've heard from members here that have not always had the best experience with FNAC.

Hope that helps everybody.

Sure they do. If I recall correctly, they ship via a 3rd party carrier, so you might have to pay customs / brokerage fees on top of the shipping charge.

 

[digitalbabe]

Spawn-yes, they do, but you are better off asking a French member for personal assistance. As Andy mentioned FNAC can be a nightmware to deal with for customer service issues. I've experienced this myself. I've sent PM.
