+ print run will be shared with Italy, France, Germany,...
Will it?

There seems to be no consistency with the Steelbooks outside of UK. The second wave of the bigboxes released completely in Germany, France and Italy. But the Steelbooks are different.

At this point in time it was possible to order the following Steelbooks:


Germany:
Blade Runner
2001
Goodfellas
Redemption


France:
2001
Apollo
Goodfellas
Jaws


Italy
Apollo
Jaws
Scarface


The only logic behind this could be the languages on the discs. I know that the 4 Warner titles have all german dubs on the disc and the Universal titles dont. So maybe thats the reason why only the Warner titles seem to be available in Germany.

As a collector from Germany this release strategy is quite frustrating. I ordered all 7 from Zavvi now. If there should be an option later on to order all 7 in Germany, I can still cancel my Zavvi order. But I would prefer some clear communication about the worldwide releaseplans of this Steelbook series.

Its actually not that inconsistent... all the German releases are WB, and the Italian ones are Universal. That's straightforward, and doesn't necessarily mean they won't get the others, could just be timing thing.

France have 2 from each studio, which again may lead to them having them all at some point, may be just be a timing thing. Regardless, yes, these are obviously shared print runs across EU, i.e not UK exclusives.

Surprisingly there was still stock of the poster edition from Vice Press. Given the Amazon shenanigans, I've ordered that edition. Will cancel Amazon if they don't do it for me!
 
I'm concerned that this is a Universal film and their steelbook finishes are pretty whack. Skinny, streaks. This art has a very dark design. It's worrying that it'll come out all ropey.
I'm in two minds about cancelling this afternoon seeing the Scarface universal.
Same with Jaws. I hope they do a better job than SFace.

Universal have been all over the shop With their releases over the years, I totally expect this to be a streaky bacon matte but maybe this will be one of their random catalog releases where it’s knocked out of the park.
We can only hope.
 
Has anyone received there copy from HMV yet ? I have a tracking number as always but no info..just thought i’d ask around
Yeah, I had mine around release day. I preordered as soon as it went up though. I know others have had issues with later orders and restocks, with hmv cancelling orders etc..
 
Hmv had issues with stock supply due to a mistake and had a delay of 2 weeks to send out the rest of the orders, but i've sitll not had mine sent out yet.
