Flash Gordon Steelbook (Target Exclusive) (Mondo X #006)

[jacobsever]

006 is a Target USA exclusive.

Flash Gordon











I have all the releases so far...but I'm questioning whether I want to continue or not. Half of Mondos releases are movies I don't care about at all, and will probably never watch. This being one of them.

Wow.. Unexpected..

[jacobsever]

Rumor is apparently it will be online only...so don't expect to walk into your local Target and be able to pick this up.

[jacobsever]

Also, one thing missing from the official Mondo announcement is any special features on the disc.

Except right on the website it says "available in stores 7/28"....so not sure about that rumor.

Take chances if you like. I will order online and if it shows up cheaper in store or in better condition I will return the online order.

Not really a rumor as much as insider information. Came from a staff member at HDN, who is in talks with Mondo about the release. I tend to trust his input.



He has confirmed that True Detective will be in stores, however.

Wow. One of my 80s favorites. I guess the campaign to release them in the U.S.
was successful.

[MifuneFan]

Well that was random as hell. Glad the US are getting Mondo steels though

[jacobsever]

I just couldn't go into Dredd with an open mind, because even though it was in production before The Raid, I saw The Raid first, and Dredd just felt like a dumbed down, less good American version of it. That and I absolutely loathe Karl Urban. Just looking as his face bothers me. So I kinda went into Dredd doomed from the start.

Thread's been opened for this already - Just needs a title change

So they're just switching to Target? I figured it'd be released in both countries (BB Canada / Target US)

From what HDN staff has said this will be Target US only. The Mondo steelbook line was never intended to be set to one country. Maybe that will change, but that's what they said

[SteelMaiden]

Well, I'm glad that the US is finally getting it. So I don't have to go and pay that enormous shipping cost from Canada.

From Mondo's website:

Mondo x SteelBook® is pleased to present our first release available in the USA, #006: FLASH GORDON! In conjunction with Universal Pictures, we’re incredibly excited to release the 1980 sci-fi space adventure based on one of the most influential comics of all time.

This isn’t the first time we’ve used Martin Ansin’s artwork on a SteelBook (see #001: Looper), and are thrilled to have another opportunity to rework his incredible style into the SteelBook format. His artwork for FLASH GORDON - which was first released as a poster at a Mondo Gallery show last year - translates so well onto the outside, enhanced with a beautiful glossy finish, and extends into inside of the case & disc.

Flash Gordon in Mondo x SteelBook® is available to pre-order now and will be shipping from Target on July 28. Click here to Pre-Order!
