Not to my knowledge. They have 7 digit SKU's so they might be in store. I wouldn't count on it but you never know.

thefunmachine · 05-02-2015, 12:50 AM

I pre ordered mash and commando so I will find out next week.

I wouldn't mind getting them all. I would get Tora Tora and Patton first.

It's an obvious Memorial Day promotion, but Commando sticks out like a sore thumb, lol.

But Memorial Day isn't till like the end of May. I think May 25th. haha

Now Armed Forces Day is May 16th. So again that is far from the 5th.

Picked up Commando in store today. Looking for to seeing the unrated cut

Hubunkey · 05-12-2015, 12:31 AM

Just seen pics of the Commando release in the regular thread and it's a MetalBox (like Disney used to use) not a FuturePak. I thought that Steelbook sued and had that style of case removed form production?

Yup those would be the pictures of mine. I will post them here as well.

Hubunkey · 05-12-2015, 12:38 AM

No worries on the pictures, and it was 9.99 plus tax

HanShotFirst · 05-12-2015, 12:45 AM

Oh, so these are not metalpaks after all, as looking at the spine, or back of it anyways, it's not hinged.

So they are steelbooks? I know it says collectible metal packaging on the Commando title in previous post, but maybe BB just decided to call steelbooks that for these releases?

The Drugstore · 05-12-2015, 02:28 AM

I stand corrected, I wonder what it is then

Could you take a picture of the groove on the right-hand side when the packaging is closed? The shape may help us figure it out since that's one of the key differences between Steelbooks/MetalPaks/IronPaks/etc.

Thank you! That confirms my previous post, then. It's actually a Metal Box, which is slightly different from a MetalPak. Same company, though.

No problem, glad we know what they are now!!

MifuneFan · 05-12-2015, 02:40 AM

Wow, these are definitely Viva Metal Box's. The spine, and opening are identical to those.
