Sweet! Can't wait! Hopefully Amazon UK will release the extended edition too!

I'm still hoping for one in the U.S. to be released. With Best Buy getting the first, Terrget the second, it'd be kind of cool if Walmart got this one. It may explain the lack of steels at Walmart this year, that they were holding out to secure this one.

I am waiting also. I already have steels for all the theatricals so completing the extended steelbooks would be nice. Isn't this about the time they start getting announced.

Why would Walmart getting other Steelbooks prevent it from securing this one? Do studios impose an annual quota for each retailer?

I'm completely guessing here, so don't quote me:

Walmart has had one steelbook release this year. ONE. Dracula Untold. Target has had a surge of steelbooks and Best buy (not counting the re-issues) has had quite a few and still has a few still to come out. I'm guessing the lack of steels for Walmart indicates they had to do a major bidding war with Best Buy and Target to (maybe) secure they get the steelbook for BotFA. I could be very wrong and Walmart has just opted to not do any other exclusive steels this year. I just think it would be cool if Walmart did get this in the U.S. as it would be a shared trilogy release for the extended editions between three retailers. And this coming from someone who absolutely loathes Walmart.

You're right, never occurred to me that all they had was Dracula Untold. I'll happily go to Walmart if they get this Steelbook. Would be even better if unlike BB (3D only) and Target (2D only), Walmart's was finally perfect and had both.

Currently 2 listings on Amazon - one a couple of quid cheaper than the other. Can only assume that one is the amaray and the other is the steelbook (both 3D).

For the first 2 films the extended edition blu-ray has included the 3D version. There wasn't a 2D-only release.

Thanks for the info buddy! Really appreciate that!

So pissed BB or Target did not pick up the option to do the slim EE steelbook for this. Really don't want to import the German one to complete the set due to the German text.
