Ok take this with a grain of salt.

I have asked morningtoke to confirm this.

But it appears these are Steelbooks. (No confirmation yet)

Those're pretty sweet. I love consistent artwork.

MifuneFan · 10-21-2015, 01:50 PM

They're definitely some kind of metal case from the looks of it. Artwork is pretty cool

Markky07 · 10-21-2015, 01:51 PM

Agreed. The artwork definitely suits the movie. These would look great on a shelf next to each other

Smigro · 10-21-2015, 03:03 PM

Glad I got my UK steelbook for the first and CA steelbook for the second dirt cheap so I can justify getting these.

DarkEco910 · 10-21-2015, 03:07 PM

I've only seen the first. Are the other two worthy of $18 blind buys or should I wait for a sale if they last that long?

neoz · 10-21-2015, 03:11 PM

If I recall weren't these supposed to be Metalpaks? I have a feeling we all talked about this before long ago.

rickah88 · 10-21-2015, 03:13 PM

I never purchased these films, so I might this route, if it happens!

Better not be metalpaks. But if they are, then that's fine, too. I just won't buy them.

haha I mean I swear when Js was here we all were talking about how BB might be releasing these but they might be metalpacks. I mean I feel like we did lol.
Unless I'm getting senile in my old age.

I swear though a banned member talked about these.

I have no recollection of Lionsgate ever releasing a metalpack.

Now am not saying these are Steelbooks, we have no way to know until they come in this weekend.

But things to note:
They dont say only @ BestBuy, but I have not seen this at any other retailer as of yet.

The Price, pretty high for a non new release.(they are advertize as including a DVD, that could be an error since EXP 2 didnt include a DVD originally)

The timing, EXP 4 is in pre-production with a 2017 release. I cant think of a theatrical realese to tie these with? Hunger games sequel, maybe? Creed is MGM/Warner release.

This are just odd ducks at the moment.

neoz · 10-21-2015, 03:21 PM

It'll be interesting to see what they are. Funny if they were only slipcovers.

Ohh maybe even lent slips.

They could be, but the round edges on the pics make me wonder.

Plus I'm not of the ilk that spines are the gospel of all things metal packaging. Couldn't care less actually. It's the artwork that sells for me, and pound-for-pound Metalpaks have had much better artwork than steelbooks.

I just like pulling your chain about metalpaks.

Almost as fun as when people call Hot Toys/Other collectible figures Dolls
