My prediction is peaking up to its utmost consistency.

From $79 ending cost the other day now to a record breaking $100 (given that the steelbook was recently out for merely 2months)

Now thats add up validity of a future rarity.

This release is Weird yet Admirable (in a different way)

1. First Summit released steelbook in North America
2. First Bluray with a dvd sized steelbook that has printed Bluray logo
3. The Movie is not bad, its actually good blindbuy movie
4. Steelbook collectors dislike it
5. Its superbly rare/limited in quantity

Im pretty sure, other collectors will back me up that this steelbook is indeed HARD TO FIND

P.S. what adds up to its collectibility is that tiger_qc DOES NOT HAVE IT yet

Honestly, I think some of our other members are right. We may see another steelbook in another country.

Our disc is region A locked, after all.

I like the french artwork the best (minus the wording, of course).

for someone who says he doesnt resell steelbook, you spend alot of wasted thought analyzing or over analyzing this

that would be a nice one

If there is another Hurt Locker release I don't think it will effect the US release demand at all. There are several SBs that had re-releases that the original is still the more valued like Iron Man and Rambo.

I'm guessing Disney will not release SBs of any title until sometime around Christmas then we will get another 12 weeks of Disney type release. The titles will probably be Princess and the Frog, Toy Story 1,2&3, Burton's Alice, National Treasure 1&2, Fantasia, Chronicles of Narnia 1,2&3, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo & Dumbo. The last 3 dependant on them actually seeing a US release this year. If they aren't you might see Bolt or G-Force steel.

I predict that there will be NO MORE new Steelbook Releases in Germany. Their just gonna re-release the rest of the old ones

I think out of all the SteelBook releases we've seen across the globe, the only one I can think of that even has a chance at catching up to the orignal Rambo or the FS Iron Man (and I think the FS IAL is still commanding high prices, but I seem to remember it falling in value recently), is the US Hurt Locker SteelBook. The SteelBook sold out in hours, not days in my area (4 Best Buy stores), and the movie was a virtual unknown at the time of it's release to the general public. Now that it has won Best Picture, there is alot of buzz, and that can only mean that the demand for the SteelBook will rise. I seem to remember prices dropping on the original Rambo when the re-release came out, but I don't know if the price for it rose back up or not 'cos I don't follow Rambo that much. I'm sure if Hurt Locker is released elsewhere in a proper G2 sized case, that demand for the US release will suffer. The question is not if it will, but how much it will. The only ones that would want the G1 after a G2 release will be the OCDr's and the die hard Hurt Locker fans. I guess there is a chance, since it is a unique release with it being a G1 dvd sized SteelBook with the blu-ray logo on it, but I don't know if that by itself would keep it's value high or continue to be sought after by many when there would be an alternative that is much more appealing to the blu-ray SteelBook crowd. I could see demand still remaining high because the artwork might be nicer, the numbers might be lower, and the G1 size might not hurt it that much. I could also see demand dropping down to nothing if a G2 SteelBook is released and if the artwork is re-used or the artwork is nicer than the US version. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what comes out, and what happens to Hurt Locker as a result.

As for my predictions (the ones I'm mainly interested in seeing):
Alice in Wonderland (Burton)
Iron Man 2
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Tron
Tron Legacy
Finding Nemo (and all future Disney/Pixar and Disney Diamond Editions)
Pirates of the Carribbean 4 (they better!)
Underworld 4
oh and Hurt Locker (from somewhere, or maybe a new US/Canada release, G2 of course).

Catalog titles I'd like to see:
The Matrix
The Matrix Reloaded
The Animatrix (or pair it with Reloaded, but I'd like to see this one by itself with some killer artwork)
The Matrix Revolutions
Batman
Batman Returns (okay, maybe the other 2 that I shall not name here, but I can live without them)
Spider-man
Spider-man 2 (or 2.1 or both on one disc)
Transformers
Underworld
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Braveheart
Passion of the Christ
The Crow
Kill Bill I and II, or The Whole Bloody Affair Edition (US/Canada release-No forced French subs, woohoo!)
Pulp Fiction (see Kill Bill)
Jackie Brown (see Kill Bill)
Reservoir Dogs (to complete the QT Collection)

Saving Private Ryan is rumoured to be a steelbook. That would be awesome

lol

The Iron Man 2 steelbook will be out this year, check the price blow off on both the Canadian and German original release. I should have kept my German one, I sold it in a rush fearing a re-release!

The Canadian Iron Man will become the new John Rambo and even more.

Cheers,

Well excuse me, missy money-bags!

[Show spoiler] Just kidding.
Glad you don't have budget restraints like some of us.

[mikeyt912]

Why are you excluded? Do you not plan on buying alot of Steels? Or are you trying to hint to us that you make tons of $

The restraint I guess for my end, is the utmost satisfaction getting or buying one at a very cheap cost possible and upon seeing afterwards my purchase cost defeats the inflated cost once it became a collectible

You can get cheap deals on dented steelbooks. At least you can say you have one.

But getting a dented steelbook like buying a Toyota after it accelerated out-of-control and hit a wall or tree. It's still a Toyota, but honestly, you won't be able to drive it anymore.

At least you can still play the BD even if the steelbook case is dented.

[Show spoiler] But if you survive the crash, you might be able to sue Toyota and come into a fist full of $$$$ so you can buy even more dented steelbooks really cheap!

Or you can just switch to buying ironpacks.

Can also go back to buying regular Amaray's or even better yet DVD's I hear they got rock bottom prices on those
