Hey everyone, just wanted to let yall know that next week Walmart(should be most if not all) will be setting a new mod for some steelbooks. I believe they will be on the share-center, use to be blu-ray center. I'm not sure how many titles we will be getting, I'll have the full list either sat or sun, but I'll post any new ones we get till then.
Here's the ones that came in today, the price for all of them so far is $12.96.

MI-I
MI-Ghost Protocol
Transformers 1
Transformers 2
Deep Impact
Saving Private Ryan
The Godfather
War of the Worlds
The Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games

Not that more steelbooks are a bad thing, but why are they all coming out around the same time!

I'll get Transformers 1/2, and depending on artwork maybe MI:GP and SPR.

Whaaaaat???? I haven't heard anything about this...not even on highdefninja forums. Any pics of these because I am down to grab some of those.

[Smigro]

Ah man, I will be in for Transformers 2, Saving Private Ryan and The Hunt for Red October.

Not that it is a deal breaker, but at $12.96 I wouldn't expect any debossing/embossing or inside artwork.

If MI/MI:GP/Transformers1&2/War of the Worlds are recycled Play.com exclusives, I can easily pass on them.
But seeing as I don't have Hunt for Red October/Patriot Games, I'll be in for them. Very interested to see the artwork.

I know you didn't mention wanting it but saving private ryan was a play.com exclusive aswell.

Doh! I forgot about that one. Yes I would add that one, if it turns out to be the Play.com exclusive since I passed on it before.

This is starting to feel a bit abusive of the steelbook format -- to me, it's supposed to be a little special, like for a first release or a special anniversary edition. Firing a bunch of catalog titles out there seems to go against the fun of steelbook.

Will be getting every one of those!!!

Thanks for the news Rickah! Are these items that will be in stock at the retail level or online only? I don't know what you mean by "share-center"

Take this post with a grain of salt. I just copied it from the deal forum, as I thought it should be posted here in the SB forum.
This is the first I've heard anything about a Paramount SB wave in the US. It does make sense if they want to "compete" with both WB and Universal SB waves, coming out in May & June, respectively.

I am just excited to hear that Walmart might start carrying steel books

Yeah here's a brilliant idea: How about releasing ALL steelbooks in ALL regions!!!
Lordy, studio constantly moan about their bottom line...well this is a pretty good way to throw a few more coins in the coffers. Do studios not notice all the "Take My Money" posts?

Yeah me too haha

Foreign versions that have embossing (MI, TF3, WotW) blow these out of the water. Some can be/were just available to purchase from Zavvi for just a little bit more than these prices. I would recommend going that route.

I will check and see if my store has any that I don't already own. Maybe like Patriot Games, Hunt for Red October.

Yeah, at this point I may be getting just those two also...I am just not a fan of the metal pack spine. The lettering is not centered on the spine width wise and the don't like seeing the plastic clips...one of the biggest reasons I will not get the Target version of IM2.

I was hoping to replace my German Saving Private Ryan steelbook with a US one. Oh well... no steelbook=no sale.

Patriot games and war of the worlds IF they have a glossy finish

Already got steelbooks for Transformers 1 and Transformers 2. Not interested in the other titles.

I'm glad it's been an import-free year for me so far!
And so is my bank!
