The waiting game

[dfoles]

I hate waiting for steels to come in the mail. Going to the mailbox is like Christmas morning, except sometimes there's nothing there.

Right now I'm waiting on:
Batman Forever, Se7en, Tekken Tag Tournament 2: We Are Tekken, and I just picked up a Green Hornet from eBay at a good price, but it hasn't shipped yet. I think The Green Hornet is an underrated gorgeous steelbook and can't wait to see it on my shelves.

And I'm waiting for some poly bags to come in.

What're you guys waiting on?

right now, i'm waiting on The Adjustment Bureau & Snow White and The Huntsman from Zavvi, Zombieland & Gone With The Wind from Base.com, The Bourne Legacy & Roger Rabbit from members here & Captain America HMV Exclusive from ebay.

[dfoles]

I forgot that I have Tekken: Blood Vengeance coming too.



But I'm wondering if i just bought a bootleg steelbook cause i cant find anything aboot this anywhere.

Waiting on the "Shaun of the Dead" & "Hot Fuzz" US - Reel Heroes Steelbooks to come in. Probably Monday.

Zavvi to release a decent steelbook

Aladdin...it has arrived but it was sent to my old house which is luckily my mums house

Is this thread just for steelbooks that HAVE BEEN released, or can it also include steelbooks that are GOING TO BE released?

If the latter is true, then, I guess I'm waiting on my "Tron", "The Rocketeer" and "Iron Man 3" steelbooks to be delivered.

I spent way too much this month... All have shipped except my eBay purchases.

Grr.. It's after 9pm and my mailman still hasn't come today!
I'm anticipating Se7en and some poly bags. If I got the bags first at least I could kill time waiting for Se7en by bagging my steels

I wish I had Kick Ass, and I want the Trainspotting they're supposed to release this fall.

Also, I hope they do their new movie "The World's End" comic book style

Doesn't that look the same as the sold out Play.com 3D version? So why the hell are the Asian releases considered 'rare'?

Also, is the Alien Anthology anything like Play.coms?

[Rz_Samurai]

Yes it does look exaclty like the play.com one but the Korean release was i belive only limited to between 2,000 and 4,000 if that. The release price was also wayyy higher on release. If you look around on ebay they all go for no lower than about 100 per steelbook. Asian releases are usually alot harder to come by and more limited!

Yes alien antohlogy look like the play.com as well, but same goes since its a asian release....

meh, tbh that is a bit weird to me because i'll always go for the cheapest and easiest release to buy if they all look the same

The play.com price for Prometheus steelbook seemed high at the time but I thought it was worth it - glad I did!

I have my doubts, but my fingers are still crossed as well.
