Pacific Rim Steelbook Walmart Exclusive?! - Blu-ray Forum

robbathehutt · 12-31-2013, 06:20 PM

I was fumbling around the Walmart web site and found this.

I don't know if its real or not. I haven't seen anything about it anywhere else. I ordered one just to see if it is truly a steelbook.

hmm interesting, hadn't heard about this

bowlingbilly10 · 12-31-2013, 06:45 PM

What?!

If this is true, I'm going to have to double dip. Already have the 3d combo pack that I got for Christmas.

That was never in the store. There was an exclusive with same artwork in stores with bonus content, but it was just a different slipcover.

I will sell my amaray copy and get this if it is truly a steelbook.

robbathehutt · 12-31-2013, 09:18 PM

I set it up for in store pick up so if its not a steelbook I can return it right away. It will be at the store for pick up on Jan 10. Fingers crossed it is a Steelbook.

neoz · 12-31-2013, 10:38 PM

Ewwww $32.38...I would do instore pick up but not at that price haha.

Let us know if is a SB or just the slipcover.

Thanks for the heads up op.

The second one looks like the one I saw in stores.

laz305 · 01-01-2014, 09:04 AM

I'm unable to checkout. It keeps saying item unavailable and empty's my cart

rickah88 · 01-01-2014, 12:16 PM

Has anyone just checked their local store to see if it's there? I didn't see anything about this being an online exclusive.

Same problem. Darn. Was getting excited. Hopefully it becomes available.

Bballryan8 · 01-01-2014, 06:05 PM

weird it's allowing me to checkout...I'm not buying it but I was curious if it would work for me

shblay · 01-02-2014, 12:16 AM

Ok, I got it to let me check out earlier today, but only with site-to-store. Maybe it's working for others now too. We'll see if it's true.

**edit** now it's saying out of stock online.

Blu_Ray_Addict · 01-02-2014, 12:23 AM

Nice find. I might get this also if it is legit. Hopefully a glossy finish.

Interested to see where this goes... but $32 is a crazy price for a non 3D USA release. Fast 6 was only $19.99 at Target. Even Walmart Man of Steel steelbook was $24.99 as a brand new mega blockbuster release.

I don't know about the U.S., but the Target here in Canada had the amaray case and slipcover with the same (exclusive) artwork (the colouring is more vibrant than shown on the walmart website); it was NOT JUST a slipcover.

HomeEntertainment · 01-03-2014, 05:47 AM

Its a very nice steelbook, got mine for $24 from Jbi Hifi.

lateralspin · 01-03-2014, 05:52 AM

The JB exclusive is a Metalpak, like the Sanity X-men First Class Metalpak. I don't like Metalpak.

Packerfan75 · 01-03-2014, 05:53 AM

Looks nice but way too expensive for fancy packaging. Even if I didn't have PR already, I still wouldn't buy it at that price.
