I just got back from a couple Best Buy stores. In the second one the guy looked up the steelbook in his system, found a few in the suburbs. But also mentioned that on Tuesday he thought there would a restock.

Not that that is a guarantee, but it did seem strange, in both Godzilla is nearly sold-out, including the regular 4K (1) and the BD (2 or 3) sets. And yet there were piles and piles of ALL the Marvel steelbooks, all the Toy Story, just huge quantities in each store. Not as many Rocketman but plenty of those as well.

Godzilla is Warner Brothers. Rocketman is Paramount.

The Marvel & Pixar steelbooks are easy to find because it's Disney. The house of mouse have been releasing steelbooks in massive quantities for some time now.

That...and catalog releases does not sell so fast because many of potential customers already have them/seen them multiple times.
In my opinion Godzilla steel was very well done & like Blade Runner 2049 quantities per store was really modest.

The point is, actually, that I think they underestimated demand, as this Godzilla was not a huge success at the box office. As I mentioned in the post, the others were nearly sold out as well (regular 4K and BD).

I have a feeling those Captain America steels are going to end up next to the Atari E.T. carts.

Just picked up my copy-very nice steel.
Now, the movie. Easily the worst of the three US made Godzilla movies. Pretty disappointed. So many facepalm and eye roll moments, many cringe-worthy moments. It can be made better by a director's cut, which would feature all human parts edited out.

Of the four recent Godzilla movies, I've enjoyed Shin Godzilla the best. Please, let's give Godzilla back to Japan so we get better movies. BTW, I really liked Godzilla '98 and '14, nothing terribly wrong with either of these, imho. Yes, nothing terribly wrong with '98, it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

You’re the first person I’ve seen who prefers Godzilla ‘98 to King of the Monsters haha

blackadder213 · 09-01-2019, 01:31 AM

I thought it was much better than the 2014 film. Some of the dialogue was cringey, though.

I’m a fan of the Matthew Broderick Jean Reno film. Loved it, when 4K steel goes done in price I’ll buy it.

Mean Gene · 09-01-2019, 11:58 AM

Sold out...

Toho (Japan) has been making Godzilla movies since 2016.

Zillamon51 · 09-03-2019, 06:09 AM

Toho does not automatically mean better. The anime trilogy on Netflix is an absolute snoozefest.
