Thanks to Morningtoke for posting this, from another thread in the blu-ray steelbook thread. Mistakenly thought it was a steel.

Picked up Commando in store today. Looking for to seeing the unrated cut

Just seen pics of the Commando release in the regular thread and it's a MetalBox (like Disney used to use) not a FuturePak. I thought that Steelbook sued and had that style of case removed form production?

Yup those would be the pictures of mine. I will post them here as well.

Ya, didn't wanna steal your pics

How much was this in stores?

HanShotFirst · 05-12-2015, 12:45 AM

Oh, so these are not metalpaks after all, as looking at the spine, or back of it anyways, it's not hinged.

So they are steelbooks? I know it says collectible metal packaging on the Commando title in previous post, but maybe BB just decided to call steelbooks that for these releases?

No worries on the pictures, and it was 9.99 plus tax

Man...Japan and UK get a steelbook for Commando and all we get is a MetalPak.

I wish the Japanese steelbook with non-horrible photoshop hand would've been a Metalpak! Would've hit on all cylinders! I will settle for the steelbook though.

Looking at the pics above, at the back of the spine anyway, it doesn't look like it is a metalpak, more like a steelbook...

It's not, it really looks like an IronPak like someone else stated earlier. I'm kinda shocked to see that kind of spine make an appearance again after Scanavo's epic lawsuit...

I guess I am not aware exactly what the difference is between a steelbook and ironpak.

Only have known about steels and metalpaks, though I see now that there is an Ironpak forum. Should this thread be moved there?

That's alright, it appears that everyone is equally confused, lol. Indeed, several threads have been moved multiple times. I think we should wait until we get further confirmation...

If you look at the pictures I posted. The Best Buy sticker says collectable metal packaging. I would say its a metal pack. Its pretty flimsy as well.

That's not a typical MetalPak spine, though. Furthermore, Steelbooks, MetalPaks, IronPaks, etc have all been plagued by flimsiness from time to time.

Here is a spine shot for you.

Shadowscythe85 · 05-12-2015, 02:23 AM

Wow, very surprised to see the Metal Box/ Iron Pak make a return. I actually quite liked them, the Disney Metal Boxes have some great embossing. I wonder what they are marketing themselves as now? Might have to pick one up to find that out.

Yup, that's definitely not a typical MetalPak spine.

The Drugstore · 05-12-2015, 02:28 AM

I stand corrected, I wonder what it is then
