Clearly Tiger_qc and Crashkelly are some of more extreme steelbook collectors here

I started from Day 1 when they use to give a free steelbook under the counter when you purchased a copy of the movie on DVD. Collected all of the R1 steelbooks and then hesitantly started with R1 Blu ray steelbooks ... not hardcore enough to collect non R1 BR steelbooks though ... maybe except for Rambo

Does anyone that own this know if you can play the movie with the alternate ending? Thanks

This was the maiden voyage for FutureShop that Started the whole SteelBook run.

First steelbook, underestimated popularity, short supply run.
I would assume that it would be the "4K" limit or maybe a bit more. For sure no where near the size of current releases which were probably between 5K-10K.

I would say somewhere near the Disney run right now but probably double it. Same thing with Iron Man.

Godimus · 10-30-2009, 02:58 PM

To add, its the first 'BR' steelbook ever created. However FS was releasing exclusive DVD steelbooks for several years prior.

Regarding the quantity, I think they made more than Disney quantities but less than say Dark Knight BR. I remember when they first came out there were literally 20-30 copies on a shelf in each FS I walked into. And they stayed on the shelf for several months with nobody willing to shell out $35CDN for a subpar movie. Most collectors of the FS DVD steelbooks like myself were probably debating whether or not we wanted to start collecting BR steelbooks.

Then they all started to disappear off the shelves in a matter of days. My guess is that most were being returned/destroyed due to lack of sales. Some were probably purchased to make a quick $5-10/copy as back then they weren't worth any more than that.

Sorry, but Pan Labyrinth (Germany) was the first Blu-Ray Steelbook ever released with a release date of September 6th 2007.

I didnt have a blu-ray player when this came out... hence, it is the only FS steelbook I dont have.
I should have bought the damn thing when they were selling for $60 on ebay! :|

kaliraver · 10-30-2009, 04:47 PM

I am going to be glad just to have the German version since I prefer that cover better than the Canadian version. If I can get one on a deal though I probably would get one though.

Yeah, it seems that they printed 100.000 copies of it, since it was available for like 2 yrs

I don't think that was the case, just that the lack of any english subtitle made it unattractive to most foreign buyers.
