Lawrence was already back for a few days and sold out. Unlike Heavy Metal, this one hasn’t gone up for pre-order anywhere with a May release date so it’s likely that these are just leftover copies Amazon has found, especially since they’re the only one selling them. I’d act quick.

Starship Troopers - Most likely got a reprint. Sony are known to doing unlimited edition reprints.
Lawrence - time will tell probably for both these.
I got it for $15, but that was in 2018. Lots of Sony titles were on sale at Best Buy back then. I'd best shut up before I get all nostalgic.
The one you have isn't the same as this. This Steelbook version originally came out in 2022, and includes Dolby Vision and a new 25th Anniversary reunion extra.
Here's what the site review said about the PQ of the new rellease:
Quote:
Starship Troopers released in 1997, was shot on film, and has been sourced from the previous 4K restoration found on the 2017 disc. The movie has always been a highlight on home formats, offering very impressive picture quality upon its release on DVD and again in the early days of Blu-ray. This new 2160p UHD is no different, offering a substantial boost in stability, definition, and color alike. The image more than impresses in every shot; even visual effects hold up rather well. Grain retention is largely consistent and generally complimentary with only a few scenes, such as in the classroom near film's start, appearing a bit denser and snowier. The image gains significant improvements in clarity and sharpness. Fine details are much more revealing across the board. Faces reveal fine hairs, pores, and scars with depth and detail that's comparatively absent on the Blu-ray. Uniforms, berets, helmets, armor, terrain on bug planets, manmade structures at the training camp and on Planet P, practical bug effects, and torn human bodies all find significantly more clarity and attention to fine detail, even at distance and even considering more insignificant background elements.
The New Dolby Vision color grading looks spectacular, offering a more brilliant, bolder, deeper, and tonally exact presentation beyond even the previous HDR-only issue. Look at the Federal Network logo at the very beginning of the movie. It's breathtakingly bold, particularly the gold color behind, which leaps off the screen for a first of many dynamic, impactful moments. The white text has a hint of natural gray to it, but the letters are brilliant, as is the blue globe center screen. The rest of the film is just as impressive. Few UHDs enjoy this level of natural color output. This is evident in all scenes and scenarios, especially in bright exteriors and well-lit interiors in the first act where clothing hues leap off the screen with majestic accuracy and vividness. Yet even in dark battle scenes, black level depth holds strikingly authentic and true. Skin tones are healthy and full. This Dolby Vision grading is well worth the upgrade cost.
