A couple more days until this is released

Amazon needs more time to provide a delivery estimate. I pre-ordered this back in March. I guess I'm not getting it on Tuesday.

The steelbook looks great in hand. I want to pick it up, but im torn as to whether the price will drop on amazon later on.

First off this is not a Steelbook...the spine is an iron pak...have not seen a iron pak for quite awhile. The embossing is crazy...like the Godzilla futurepak embossing. Great artwork..3 discs with a booklet. Just a fantastic ironpak!

I just went to pick mine up from Best Buy, I almost threw it at someone's head because it was an Iron Pak!!!

Glad to hear it! Looks like I will have to wait a week for mine, as my Amazon preorder is delayed. I contend that Godzilla futurepak is one of the best overall metal packaging ever released. Gloss is 2nd to none. The bossing is so extensive it's like watching 3D. And the damn thing roars!! Just needed it to light up and I don't know if it could ever be topped.

This is not a steelbook, it's a V2 Viva Metal Box (NOT an Iron Pack either)

Pooppack! Not spending $30 for a catalog title in a lesser packaging! $5 maybe.

But not $30, that's Steelbook pricing!!!

PS: This thread should be moved out from the Steelbook section and burned in hell!

2 unnecessary DVDs w/hinged center hub are real detractors.

aj101097 · 06-06-2017, 08:35 PM

It's an ironpak...& yes the embossing is crazy!

neoz · 06-06-2017, 10:36 PM

Actually it's a Metal Box / Futurepak.

The spine on the Ironboxes are different.

Just checked my futurepak & metal boxes...this has a completely different spine..then checked my Beauty & The Beast ironpak & the spine is the same but it also resembles a viva in some respects...maybe something new a iron viva pak!

It looks like the same type of case as the Best Buy exclusive Commando, Mad Max, MASH, and Spaceballs. Those were basically a Viva Metal Box with a different spine. The spine has less plastic showing than a Viva Metal Box, but everything else about it is the same. It's like the New Age Viva Metal Box.

From what I've seen, it looks just fine. I'm pulling the trigger once it dips below $20.

Agood addition to Akira collectibles

SixSpeedSamurai · 06-09-2017, 12:49 PM

It's pretty nice looking, great embossing. Disappointed no digital copy.

chaingunsofdoom · 06-13-2017, 04:03 AM

Saw this at a WM store up here today. C$28.96.
