Sounds like the MetalBox that recently surfaced. I think it's a reworked Viva Metal Box. The spines aren't too bad, and it's definitely better than a MetalPak.

Well it's time to move the thread.


I am sooooo disappointed!


This whole week has been disappointing. First the fat boys break up, then the pop art releases are media paks then this.. I am really bummed out!

The Walking Dead was a lackluster waste of 90 minutes and the Packers lost. It truly has been a terrible week already (and it's only Sunday).

They aren't Viva MetalBox (horizontal plastic on spine) nor reworked. They look like legitimate IronPacks but those started at Futureshop ex Prince of Persia, and Princess and the Frog. This is the best alternative if they weren't going to be steelbooks

Would this mark the return of the iron pack and the debut of them in the United States?

My Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Futureshop iron pack is still my favorite metal packaged movie in my entire collection. It's flippin' gorgeous.

Since we don't have a pic/confirmation yet of the opposite side of these Expendables 1-3 releases, hard to tell whether MetalBox or Ironpak. The new Metalboxes surfaced back in May with a Fox wave at Best Buy, with less plastic, and very similar to Ironpaks. See the differences below...

Top to bottom...SteelBook, Ironpak, MetalBox

Did you look at Agent 2nd picture? There is no plastic on the spine. Although we can't see the opposite side of the Expendables releases, doubt it matters since no one is going to display their steels on that side.

Yeah I saw it, but like I mentioned, the new Metalboxes that surfaced back in May have much less to almost no plastic on the spine. Hard to tell with that second pic. The opposite side will tell us though. Here's a pic of the Commando MetalBox from May, front and back...

Same Viva Metal Cases as Spaceballs and Commando.
