Its one disc, got it last night. It has no special features, just a commentary track.

Just picked this up. My store also had ST and WWZ but I already have ST and I like the steelbook artwork for WWZ better so I will wait for that one to drop in price on amazon.fr.

I have that one as well. I really like it because it looks like a ammo case.

I would have loved the steelbook but it's just too much money now. I am really impressed with the gloss on this thing though.

I too wanted the SB but like you don't want to pay the current asking price.
Yeah they did a decent job on this one and it has nice interior artwork as well.

Went and mine had the Fathers Day endcap, but just old titles. While looking around an employee came up with a cart and started pulling all the titles. So I can only assume that mine will carry these too.
But I didn't have time to see if they were going to put new stock up. Kind of slow here, so likely it'll take them hours.
I may check tomorrow.

The Futurepak does have more weight than Steels and good art with gloss. For under $13 not a bad addition.

Yeah I've said it in other threads but these new futurepaks are a nice improvement over the older metalpaks. I really like the look of the World War Z release.

Yup. Both the Star Trek and WWZ futurepaks are very nice releases. I was very leery when I picked these up, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the printing and construction.

Has anyone seen a store flyer from Wal Mart for tomorrow Sunday the 8th . For any of these going on sale for Fathers day ???

I found the ad, It shows all Metal packs and steelbooks for $12.96 ea. So much for a sale on these ..

Moleman1138 · 06-12-2014, 08:59 PM

Get these now, the movies are going to reset starting Sunday/Monday. Entire overhaul.

HD Goofnut · 06-13-2014, 02:42 PM

Found Star Trek at Wal-Mart yesterday. They also had Saving Private Ryan, but all three were beat up. I decided to pick up the Star Trek MetalPak and then I noticed that it's missing disc 2 from my standard set. I guess I will have to take care of that before I sell the standard set.

SVTStingRay · 06-15-2014, 02:59 AM

ive been wanted to pick up transformers ROTF but cant find it anywhere.

quickdraw · 06-16-2014, 03:59 PM

Went to two different Walmarts last Friday and they were sold out on SPR, Star Trek and WWZ at one and didn't have any SBs left at the other.

diversepackaging · 06-23-2014, 05:08 AM

June 15th was the last day of these being available. All metal product (Steelbook and Futurepak) was scheduled to be pulled from the shelves by the 16th.

I hate how WM has this kind of schedule with releases. It's hard enough already even finding anything BD related at the Walmarts around me.

It is not just them. Just about every Target (4 stores locally), WM (6 stores locally) and BB (4 stores locally) have all been cutting back on their media section.

This is a bummer for especially considering I just started collecting slips again and with stores cutting back you have to hope that you can get lucky with Amazon.

Hell, I still have not found one of the Scooby Doo slips that was just released in the latest WB wave. I saw Blade II, Training Day, Terminator: RotM but have not seen TLS, Batman Begins or Scooby Doo in stores.

The crappy part is all I wanted was Training Day (which I got) and Scooby Doo...the rest I already have in steelbook.

Well I guess I'm glad I bought mines before they pulled them off the shelves. But does any one know if they'll release another wave of different titles? Like the first two Transformers?
