Transporter 3 SteelBook™ - Australia - Blu-ray Forum

Guys

I just thought that I will let you guys know that this steelbook is likely to be OOP soon if not already. I only managed to get a copy for lolototo at my local Big W a week or so ago. There were two copies there but the other copy has a small dent at the top where the blu-ray strip is. If it was in perfect condition, I would have bought it for Pfdfiredog as well.

Today I just happened to be at a shopping centre with a JB store, and they only have the normal amaray version with the coverart that is identical to that of the UK steel.

In any case, if I do stumble across another copy in good nick, I will let you guys know. But don't hold your breath.

Perhaps you can pick up a copy for Pfdfiredog when it is still available. Considering the JB I was at yesterday only has the normal case version and not a single steelbook left, I am quite certain the steelbook release is a limited release as evident by DVDCrave, EzyDVD and BigW online running out of stock for it already.

The next JB is not really close to where I live, although not that far either at a good 15-20 minutes drive away.

Not sure if you notice or not, but Australia Post just increased their international parcel postal charges last week. It is ridiculous for them to do that considering the global downturn at the moment.

I can confirm that EzyDVD online is OOS and I believe BigW is as well as I can longer find it on their site.

I believe this title is OOP as well as info I received from EzyDVD said they have been informed by their supplier that they can no longer get it.

"Transporter 3" is the first Blu-ray SteelBook™ release for Icon Pictures Australia. Its very clean artwork with matte varnish and embossing on the title treatment makes this SteelBook™ highly collectible.

We are happy to be able to provide Australian special edition collectors the possibility of more local SteelBook™ releases.
