You'll see Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, Kerry Washington, Jamie Foxx, Quentin Tarantino, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Walton Goggins sitting in as they answer questions about the movie. The title that the feature is given is misleading, but it's a damn fine press conference to watch.

Sure, the packaging might not the the best, but I think that this is the exclusive to get for the material alone.
How is that much different from the Q & A Comic-con panel?

Am I the only who found that on one steelbook after another there were paint chips, sometimes in obvious to see places? I've never seen this before. Target must have rushed these cases through without doing a proper product control to make sure there were no damages. What gives with these? The other steels that Target has had have been fine.

With the red and black paint, a small paint chip sticks out like a sore thumb. Or is that broken thumb. Or is that thumb that was broken off the finger. I think it's black and blue thumb. So the paint chips stick out like a black and blue thumb!

I think the reason why the best buy version is that size is to match up with the Quentin Tarantino XX boxset. I'm probably not the first that mentioned this in the thread but I'm taking full credit for figuring this out. My work here is done.

Bought the standard edition. Even if my local Target had the Steel in stock I don't think I would've gotten it because of the loose bonus disc. That's just lazy right there.

I'm not too particular anyway. The cashier put a nice dent in the slipcover as she was removing the antitheft box. She's lucky I'm such a nice guy

I also had scratches on my E.T steelbook bought at the same Target, cant be a coincidence.

While I received perfect steelbooks at bestbuy both online and store.

I see the Target bonus disc is flooding eBay, but very few of the Wal-Mart and Best Buy bonus discs. Shame on some of those folks for asking what you are asking for less than an hour of content and on a DVD no less.

Thanks so much for the info!!!!

Do you know if a 12mm OPP bag will fit a steelbook? On eBay, the listing say they won't, but I want to put some OPP bags on my steelbooks so that it's tight (so it kind of looks like shrinkwrap, but not so tight that it's hard to remove the steelbook from the bag).

Would you happen to know anything about that?

I think it would have.

I definitely would have bought it if it were G2 sized.

No problem.

I couldn't tell you on the bags as I loathe everything about them.

It's actually the Italian version I think. It's got the sonora (soundtrack) and the comic book. It's also numbered.

I love that it has the "Smitty Bacall" wanted flyer in the DigiPak art, and the comic book looks cool. I wouldn't buy this for myself though. They used the same artwork as the original U.S. release (photoshopped sunglasses and everything).


You can see it here:

Mine does but newer stock has since gotten tighter.

How do you store you steelbooks then?



Does anyone reading this thread know if a 12mm OPP bag will fit steelbooks nicely?


I considered getting those shells from Germany, but they're too expensive.
