Mad Max Metalbox (Best Buy Exclusive) - Blu-ray Forum

morningtoke · 05-11-2015, 08:58 PM

Just got these in for a promo we're having starting this Sunday. Apparently, the metalpak has a street date of 5/5/2015, yet my store hasn't received them until now. I'm kind of contemplating on selling my Mad Max Shout! Factory copy (as much as I dig the slipcover).

We'll also have Django, Wolverine, X-men, Terminator, and Commando steelbooks back in stock. I think the sale price for all of them is $11.99 each.

EDIT: A fellow poster corrected my error. It is a metalpak, not a steelbook. The other titles are being advertised as steelbooks, however.

Is it a steel, or Metalpak?

Just your regular ol' steelbook. I took a shot of the back in order to show the extras/bonus features, but it didn't save on my phone for some reason.

You would think it would say SteelBook otherwise

Can you take a pic of the spine?

Yeah, I work tomorrow at 6, and I'll take pics of the spine and the back. Come to think of it, this Sunday we're having some great blu-ray promotions.

Also, if you guys can't wait till Sunday, you could still technically buy it. The release date has passed, so an employee could sell it to you. The thing is, most employees on the sales floor won't be able to find it, because it won't be easily accessible. It'll be in a box marked "Promo 5-12", or something of that nature. If you're so inclined, you could try to find a warehouse employee, specifically, someone who works in media. If he/she is cool, then they'll go out of their way to find it, and hand it off to a sales associate to sell it to you.

Just a little Best Buy secret

I see, thanks. Fox also released a few metalpaks as BB exclusives with the same release date, so I was wondering.

When it says 'collectible metal packaging' its a metalpak. Steelbooks say steelbook.

Oh, sorry about that then. I didn't know there was a difference. It looked and felt like a regular steelbook to me.

Oh no biggie! I just caught on after getting around 60 different bb exclusives. I personally don't mind metalpaks at all, I'm definitely getting this. Thanks for posting!!!

Just look at the spine, if you throw up in your mouth a little bit (or a lot), then it's a Metalpak.

Thanks for the heads up. I can find anything on the BB site so I'm gonna have to go to the store this weekend and try to find it.

Give them this SKU: 7225208

You could even call your local Best Buy and ask them if they have this item in their inventory. If they do, then it will be part of that stores Sunday promotion. That way, you don't go there for nothing.

ebpham4 · 05-11-2015, 10:14 PM

One more question. Just to clarify, when will these be put out on display?

They should be up by Sunday morning. Promotions vary from store to store though, so I'd call ahead if you're planning on getting it this Sunday.

I have never seen any US Steelbooks for those. Are you sure they are not Metalpaks?

This is the link for Django. It's being advertised as a steelbook.
