The steelbook is very well designed IMO, its minimalistic and sleek and slightly reminiscent of the V season 1 steelbook. You can tell tha red paint finish will be gorgeous. Any word on where we can order?

My Chinese friend told me the steelbook is only for sale to BluFans.com forum
members, not to general public. To be released around mid.Oct, and it is pretty much sold out now.

In fact I think the steelbook design is quite nice as well.

Aww thats a shame. I heard about an exclusive steelbook arranged by a forum overseas, guess this must be it. I'm sure prices for this will be high on the bay

Yes, that is the one. I think the film is not well recognized internationally and the only star people might know is Chow Yun-Fat, so the price won't be that crazy at the bay. But for only 500 in production, who knows.

Just my opinion. having half a face on a steelbook doesnt appeal at all to me

Are you guys sure this is a steelbook? There has been numerous reports stating that Scanavo only made printed steelbook in production run of minimum 8000 pieces, whereas the minimum quantity for stickerbook is 4000. If so, how can there a steelbook release for 500 pieces???

RobertJoseph17 · 08-22-2011, 03:17 PM

Beautiful Steel, wish I could get my hands on one.

It is a steelbook for sure. I guess a smaller print run is possible in production in China.

From what I remember, the minimum run for a dvd SteelBook is 8000, and a blu is 4000. A StickerBook was created for runs less than that. There has also been someone from Scanavo that said recently that a minimum run for a blu is 8000, but I distinctly remember a few years back that it was 4000. The minimum run might have increased since that time due to rising costs, but I don't think the minimum run (if there even is one) is 4000 for a StickerBook.

Whether the minimum run is 4000 or 8000, what I was trying to say is that the claimed Limited Edition quantity of 500 is highly speculative and inconsistent with the 8000 minimum print run qty that Scanavo has stipulated is required for a printed steelbook to be released. Unless this is a Steelbook that is released in several Asian countries with China getting 500 pieces???

I just read the pdf on their Stickerbook Press release found on a thread that a member previously started, it states that minimum qty of stickerbook is 2000. See link here.

4000 or 8000 min. only if made in Denmark. In China, a blu Ray steelbook is fairly a new thing, For the marketing purpose, a small limited production run is very possible. Most Japanese Steelbooks are made in China. There is a Scanavo steelbook factory in China mainly produces for Asian markets. It could be more convenient made in there. Beside than that, it is not big Hollywood production. The production policy is not applied there, who knows.

The organizer at Blufans.com had a print prove in hand last week. I think it should be in production stage now.

The photos courtsey from BLUFANS.com (China)

bluraysteel · 09-10-2011, 02:42 AM

The final production number is 1000. It is not 500 as previously stated.

RobertJoseph17 · 09-10-2011, 02:46 AM

I love this artwork. I'm a big fan of steelbooks with a lot of red, though.

RobertJoseph17 · 10-01-2011, 06:40 PM

Anybody picking this steelbook up?

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1...&cm_id=&pm_id=

Can't figure out how to order from there. With a 1000 print run, this could be a rare one. Plus, I've heard the movie is pretty good.

Dragon Lee · 10-01-2011, 07:17 PM

any word on region compatibility and english subs?

RobertJoseph17 · 10-01-2011, 07:26 PM

Just got word from bluraysteel that it's Region Free with English and Chinese Subs only.

Good news, definitely want one of these.
