But he mentioned the BB stickers. That's solid info dammit! . It just seemed like Buck missed that quote as it didn't make sense to bring up the fact that FS doesn't ship to the US. I think anyone getting excited about this in the US has a wait and see approach, even though some of them do have money in hand already lol

I did miss the quote. I was going off the thread title and the Canada flag. Guess I didn't see the quote at the bottom of the OP. No need to be a douche, MifuneFan.

You don't own Fifth Element UK steel? What are you waiting for??

[neoz]

Hmm only ones I want are Stripes and Ku Fu Hustle. I'm sure Ku Fu will be the cut version and not the uncut one.

Tommy Boy is Paramount.

It's this movie.

[PaulTrillsap]

if theyre 800 copies each they better be well designed

As always, if I hear anything (On the BBY side of things) before someone else posts, I'll come here to spread the info I find. If it turns out to be true, I'll be a happy camper.

There is no harm in dreaming about Blu-ray steelbooks.
let them dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wvuwhat]

Stripes steelbook.

[IroquoisPliskin]

should be all english. steelbooks tend to be are for futureshop. 95% of the time.


Fifth Element
Snatch
Superbad
District 9
Leon the Professional

only will purchase those since i dont own it, and i never got around ordering it from the states because i picked other titles instead. i dont buy bilingual titles if they have it on the spine (and absolute minimum lettering by the front, back doesnt matter)

snatch is my fav movie out of them.

[inglourious]

Interested in Snatch, Superbad and Das Boot depending on the art and finishes. Possibly The Fifth Element.

Perfectly happy with my Taxi Driver (UK) and Leon (Kimchi).

Leon was probably my favourite release from Kimchi since Tangled. What a nice package (Ended up ordering a second)

[bam777]

Down for Superbad, Karate Kid and maybe District 9. Superbad is the main one I want.

Thanks OP!

I was like, oh no! More catalog steelbooks to double dip on! After reading about them I'm still excited, but the only thing that worries me is if they end up being Canadian only. The title less spines and covers for White House Down and Ghostbusters might be a harbinger, or I could be wrong. Hopefully they aren't like Angels and Demons (Bilingual on the steel).

If these are good to go, I'm down for Fifth Element (already own the standard version and the UK steel) Leon (already have standard, Kimchi, and UK steels, and looking for the Japanese Digibook), Superbad (perfect next to my Paul steel), maybe Das Boot (doubt it will be the two disc version, still need that), and maybe Stripes (would fit with my Ghostbusters and Scrooged steels!). I'm tempted with Desperado, but there is a German double feature steel with El Mariachi (already have the standard version) and a OUATI Mexico steel also.

I have the rest for that wave that I want to own already, and don't feel the need to upgrade from a standard case or digi (Taxi Driver, Dr Strangelove, Easy Rider)

I'd like to see some double features steels, Anchorman was one of my favorite steels this year, and they could do a Bad Boys 1 and 2 steel or Charlie's Angels, or El Marichi/Desperado steel. Space is an issue for me, so it's nice if that's an option.

They will all be flat, single disc, generic feeling crap.....like most others we get here.

I feel like if it is available in another country, then theirs is likely better, lol.

Sadly, this is usually the case. The recent Paramount "Action Line" wave came with some pretty uninspired artwork. The interior artwork wasn't bad, but the covers.......

[GenPion]

Snatch
Desperado
Taxi Driver
Tommy
Kung Fu Hustle

Maybe some of those ones depending on artwork... also would prefer it if Taxi Driver was the MI4K disc release and not the normal disc release (as I already have that). Guess we will have to wait and see. I don't know if Desperado makes much sense, as its a double feature disc. Unless one side notes El Mariachi and the other Desperado, using poster artwork, and both titles on the spine. I'd buy it then.

Kung Fu Hustle is probably the only one that I'm highly likely to get for sure.
