I'm definitely gonna have to order this!!!

rickah88 · 11-13-2015, 12:50 PM

Wow, I've never even heard of this! Looks quite nice.
Hopefully it shows up on the US, as I'm done ordering anything from AmazonCA.

This will be my first time ordering from AmazonCA. Have you had a lot of problems with them in the past?

Just my experience, but I've only done four orders and two were charged import duties, and three arrived totally smashed.
The only order that ever made it through sans import duties and damage was the Blade Runner spinner set, from the infamous price drop error years ago.

Damn. I definitely don't like my odds then.

I'm sure there are quite a few that have had no problems. I'm pretty lucky with all my other domestic/worldwide shipments, so I guess the luck was bound to run out sooner or later.
The silver lining, with Amazon, is they will replace a damaged item pretty quickly.

Okay, cool. I may bite the bullet and try then since it's EXTREMELY doubtful that the US will get a steel for this. Thanks.

Thanks Rabbit, definitely have to get this for the 80s vibe this film is giving off.

agoofykindasuperman · 11-13-2015, 03:33 PM

This appears to be the wide-release and not an exclusive. There is another release for the same movie (in assumingly regular packaging with possible slipcover) however it's for "Quebec-only".

This is certainly an odd release...

Gotta admit, didn't think it would be that good, but man was I wrong. 80's cheese galore, Michael Ironside, an over enthusiastic female android best friend name Apple (who's not annoying), fun over the top gore (oh yes, lots of GORE).

Gonna pick this one up.

I wonder why Walmart is calling it
Limited Collector's Tin?

What's this?.....

Is the US getting a steelbook, too?

I have been keeping an eye at this high priced Blu ray @ Best Buy:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/turbo-ki...skuId=29879559

It might be a steelbook.

But no confirmation.

tilallr1 · 11-26-2015, 01:55 PM

Damn didn't know this was all filmed in Quebec, Canada, and almost all the actors are from Canada as well. More reason to buy.

Must be why we are getting a Steelbook.

I received the steelbook in the mail today, it's very nice, looks great! Though the picture on the back looks a bit soft. It comes with a clear slip too, which has some writing/pictures on it, much like the Mondo steelbooks, really nice packaging.
Was busy tonight but can take a closer look at the disc and such tomorrow.

I got an email from Amazon.ca a few days ago with an estimated delivery date close to the end of the month. Are these delayed or is that just the standard travel time (I'm on the US East Coast). I ordered something from Amazon.ca more recently and it arrived in 3 days - I guess it depends on the carrier? (they shipped via DHL).

Here are some pics of the packaging (in the spoiler tags) for those interested.

I also watched the film for the first time tonight, and loved it, definitely on my list of the top films of the year, stunning cinematography and a memorable score that I've had on repeat for the last week - for those interested:
CD - https://lematos.bandcamp.com/album/c...ure-soundtrack
Vinyl - http://mondotees.com/products/turbo-...-the-wasteland

The PQ was excellent, as was the AQ with it's pounding score and full sounding dialogue.
The steelbook is limited to 4000 according to Raven Banner, it's anyone's guess how fast it'll go, but thought I'd mention it.
