A blu-ray.com exclusive steelbook would be so cool... . Like making a few designs and people can vote. The design that wins will be produced and everyone who paid for the production (like every member who is interested pays $20 or something) gets 1 copy .

The Blu-ray.com exclusive would have to have all of the faces of everyone who was in on the order photoshopped onto the case somewhere!

Thank you for getting in touch about the Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull steelbook.

We have up to now been unable to secure an order for this our buyers are working on getting this in.

If there is anything else that we can do, then please do not hesitate to get in touch and a member of our team will be happy to help.

Kind regards,

I wonder if that means some other outfit(Amazon?) is also trying to order these? Which makes me wonder how these exclusives are obtained? Bidding, that couldn't be it as Amazon could easily outbid Zavvi. Is there a contract drawn up?
Somebody needs to ask this Wreck guy to get to the bottom of these releases. They are all too good, not to see the light of day.

No Zavvi's buyers are negotiating a deal with the distributor. If they think they can sell X number of units at a price they want then the vendor (distributor) will go ahead and produce the Steels. This type of packaging will be exclusive to Zavvis standards. That is why Walmart has "Metal Packs". Steelbook makes exclusive packaging (the actual case) and BBY, Zavvi and whoever, use THEIR artwork.


Bottom line is the distributor has the disc content and they are negotiating the packaging only. (Packaging includes extras on the disc)

Since the first 3 steelbooks appear to be happening now, I wonder if this will be included as well? I sure hope so.

Doubt it :-(

I hope we get this one. My second favorite of the four.

this is by far the worst one... it should be stricken from Indiana Jones lore...

I'm sorry, but I can't take any of you seriously now.

[bevins2016]

You guys are stuck in the influence of nostalgia. The fourth film may not be a great movie but it is very enjoyable. IMO, better than the first two

That's fine I never take Lucas Bashers seriously.

Lucas became nothing but a stupid hack on the same day that he started to "fiddle" with the original versions of the original "Star Wars" trilogy. You're obviously wearing rose tinted glasses still. Good for you.

Sorry, I don't, nor will I ever share that opinion.
George Lucas has given me far more than he's ever taken away...and for that I will always be thankful.

Most people will only remember the bad things people do and forget about the good. It takes a thousand bridges before an engineer is known as a bridge builder, but suck one d*ck and you're forever known as a d***sucker. Lucas will always be known as a bridge builder to me.

Didn't order this first time round but did get the other three for a project, do we know when it goes live?

Crystal skull has never gone up for sale. We are all hoping it goes up though

[cudzndrips]

No matter what others think of Indy 4 I love it. The jungle jeep scenes are brilliant and I love the nostalgic feel good factor. Karen Allen was wonderful.

I've still yet to see it all the way through.

Fell asleep and woke up twice during the movie - first time was where Mutt was swinging through the trees, second time there were aliens.

Don't bother.
