    I can see them doing a SP + steelbook coupling at Best Buy, perhaps getting one for dirt cheap if you buy it. I'm going to go ahead and pre-order my copy of SP (so hopefully if a deal like this happens, I don't miss out on it), but you can be damn sure if there is one, I'll pick one of them up; probably CR, I love the steelbook version of it.

    If anyone can't get a SPECTRE steelbook that is overseas that wants one, PM me. I would be happy to help get you one.

    Hey @Marketto007? Question for you. Do you own all the Bond steelbooks now? I do. But I just came across these WalMart Slip Cover Exclusives. They are just the normal BluRay Amaray cases, but with the steelbook art design on the amaray sleeves and the actual cardboard Slip Covers.

    They are actually stunning, as you can see here. And I am planning to buy these sole slip covers as protective covers for my steelbooks. Did you buy them and if so, do they actually fit the steelbooks? Can you comfortably slip these covers on the actual steelbooks?

    Here are the cardboard Walmart Exclusive Slip Covers:

    Big news for die-hard Bond collectors. And I mean die-hard, because this one will be expensive.

    Apparently there will be an even more exclusive steelbook edition of "SPECTRE" that includes an exclusive lenticular slip cover (a bit like the ones I posted in my previous post), an extensive production booklet, post cards from the film and a signed card mentioning it is one out of a limited edition of 500 copies. The 500 steelbooks will be released in China and Japan, but can also be bought by us on the various webshops.

    The news comes from a very relaible source on Forum.Blu-Ray.com:
    http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=270646 &
    http://123.103.16.28/bbs/forum.php

    To give you an example of these very rare steelbook sets, here are some images of previous films released this way in Asia and the USA (HD Zeta, Blu RayMondo, Film Arena & Kimchi):

    Have you read my 2nd last post @Marketto007? About the exclusive slip covers.

    Sorry @Gustav_Graves, just read it. From the last releases, I only have the Golden steelbook from Goldfinger and HMV CR Steelbook.

    Wow!! Those ones are great. HMV do similar ones in the UK but they just have the film's logo and original poster inside - they're great, but not as great as these :P No Skyfall either which is a shame

    I have Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace in this collection.

    Dutch 2 disc SE dvd of The Lion King also include that kind of slipcover. It is best dvd release Disney ever released in The Netherlands, also because Dutch release of this movie is only one with DTS track. Bluray release is cut. If i consider to re-buy movie on BD then it is for movie in 3D and the new bonus material.

    That kind of slipcover there also can use for example for 3 disc edition CR i like to see. You at a tracklist of missing music and some words/sign of David Arnold.

    Favorite of my Bluray steelbook/ Metalpack collection is the metalpack of ''9''.


    Other Bluray steelbooks or metalpacks i collect:

    Super 8

    Good news for Bond fans (whose ongoing cries for more special features and more extensive BluRay releases didn't go unnoticed ;-)):


    Only USA based web shop TARGET will be offering an exclusive BluRay 2-disc set that will include a bonus DVD with special features. The 40 min bonus DVD will feature the previously released short documentary "The Shadow Of S.P.E.C.T.R.E.", the "Music Video of 'Writing's On The Wall' by Sam Smith" as well as a new exclusive short documentary title titled "From Title Song to Title Sequence", with commentary by Sam Mendes, Daniel Kleinman and Sam Smith:
    http://intl.target.com/p/james-bond-spectre-blu-ray-digital-hd-target-exclusive/-/A-50451110#prodSlot=medium_1_1
    50451110?wid=480&hei=480
    PRICE: €22,32 (≈ £17,01 / $24,31)


    On top of that, it seems that AMAZON FRANCE and MEDIAMARKT GERMANY will be the only media shops that will be offering a 2-disc Steelbook set (all other steelbook releases (NOTE: Netherlands, USA, UK) so far seem to be 1-disc releases! But if I were you I would wait for final disc content specifics before buying!).

    For AMAZON FRANCE, it says it will have a BluRay disc with the film and a DVD disc with the film. One of the special features on the main movie disc is an extensive look at the "SPECTRE" PTS or opening sequence (not a videoblog) and insight in how the big stunt from "SPECTRE" got mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records. As the French steelbook will have space for 2 discs, it is perhaps nice to use the space for the Target DVD bonus disc with special features or the German MediaMarkt BluRay bonus disc with special features:
    http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B017MZ15GI/ref=s9_simh_gw_p74_d4_i1?pf_rd_m=A1X6FK5RDHNB96&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1GX6HKXHNRMCG359J53T&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577191447&pf_rd_i=desktop
    71lVESMsQVL._SL1500_.jpg
    PRICE: €27,99 (≈ £21,34 / $30,48)

    For MEDIAMARKT GERMANY, the steelbook release will be a 2-disc set too. But here the top bar of the steelbook mentions that the 2nd disc will be a BluRay disc with special features. It will feature the previously released short documentary "The Shadow Of S.P.E.C.T.R.E.", the "Music Video of 'Writing's On The Wall' by Sam Smith" as well as a new exclusive short documentary titled "From Title Song to Title Sequence", with commentary by Sam Mendes, Daniel Kleinman and Sam Smith::

    James-Bond---Spectre-%28Steel-Edition-Media-Markt-Exklusiv%29-%5BBlu-ray%5D
    PRICE: €19,90 (≈ £15,17 / $21,67)


    And then there's still the upcoming Chinese BLUFANS steelbook release of "SPECTRE" (see one of my previous posts above). It will include an exclusive lenticular slip cover, an extensive production booklet, post cards from the film and a signed card mentioning it is one out of a limited edition of 500 copies. The 500 steelbooks will be released in China, but can also be bought by us via this link. I advise you to follow the instructions from these links carefully, as this steelbook won't be released via 'ordinary' web shops:
    http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=270646
    http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=246855
    Prices of this very exclusive steelbook release will undoubtedly be much more expensive, as you have to buy it via a 'group buy' via the weblinks I just gave to you above.


    In general, home entertainment (BluRay's and DVD's) is cheapest in Germany and The Netherlands. USA comes after that. But France and especially the UK are quite expensive. Not to mention the insane prices in general from AMAZON.

    Also interesting, AMAZON GERMANY releases on March 3rd the entire Daniel Craig Quadrilogy in BluRay. You can pre-order here:
    http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01A9MBQMO?ie=UTF8&tag=bluray11-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=1638&creative=6742&creativeASIN=B01A9MBQMO&ascsubtag=c7c8cc27b4c43dc928f7bd97687fe031
    41kidrIrDFL.jpg
    41vkXyVWuqL.jpg

    As you can see, it uses the pose from the "SPECTRE" teaser poster. As opposed to the "Skyfall" pose:

    Here's the full list of specifications for the upcoming BluFans Steelbook release of "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation", limited to 500 copies only. This gives you a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming "SPECTRE" BluFans Steelbook:

    --> Steelbook featuring the teaser poster design on front and character posters on the back

    --> Exclusive art on the disc's
    --> A numbered card, mentioning the copy out of 500

    You only posted this but a few hours ago, give it time. But yes, I just ran across it, myself. Looks gorgeous, but aside from the art cards and the bonus disc, doesn't seem to have much else to offer (aside from looking pretty) and I already have the RN steelbook from Best Buy. Does look nice, though, that's for sure!

    Apparently JB hi-fi in Australia and New Zealand are also offering a exclusive Steelbook, with Skyfall it was the same as the UK amazon version so I presume its similar this year.

    Here's the single disc BestBuy Exclusive steelbook. It has no embossed/debossed title fonts, but it is partially matted and partially glossy:

    Is it available at Best buy already? My flatmate is going to LA tonight and if it is I might get him to have a look for me.
  • No, it isn't released until Feb 9th, I guess someone grabbed a copy from the warehouse?!

    Nice Gustav! Lucky you got your hands on one!

    It's not mine :-). It's a picture from ForumBluRay.

    But, in case you wonder what to expect from either the BluFans or KimchiDVD ultra-exclusive steelbook set, have a look what they have released in the past two years. And be stunned how much precision goes in those slipcases and limited edition booklets, numbered 'credit cards' and postcards:

    "Her":


    "Rush":


    "Terminator 2":


    "Kung Fu Panda 2":
