I bet it's the white steels Japan got.

that was my initial guess as well

That would suck. Guess it would be cheaper to purchase.

I REALLY hope these are not re-used artwork as the recent US wave... that would be the lamest thing ever.

On a separate note... really, how many steel books do we need for BB and TDK! So many steels for this series.

I think Canada used that artwork first. Best Buy just used the same one. Kind of silly to use it a third time.

thats exactly what I was thinking that it would be a third go around which would be super lame. I have the 1st release FS versions of BB/TDK that Best Buy recycled.

If they did recycle a 3rd time I wonder if these one's would be like the US ones without inside art and inferior print quality?

I dont think I have seen FS re-release same art steel's art so I doubt these will be that but if they were, oh man

^^^This would my guess too. A lot of unhappy collectors if they do and some very regretful ebay buyers....

Although $17 would be dirt cheap for em'.

Even better, for Canadians that were going to see The Dark Knight Rises anyway they basically cost $7 + tax (assuming movie cash is the normal $10)

 

[aminwater]

I will pick up one of each copy. I paid $30 for Batman Begins and never really wanted Dark Knight. If I am going to pay an extra $6 I mine as well grab both of them. I am sure the set would look better IMO.

Yeah exactly... it would be so rad if it is the normal $10 movie cash. I have seen the odd $5 only movie cash too.

might cancel my BB/TDK jumbo

I hope they're not similar to the Japanese ones

If they are, then nothing is safe anymore.

I promise myself if they copy the Japan white wave I am gonna stop collecting and move onto something else.

Chip, I really dont think anything is safe anymore... they can and probably will re-release everything now that this hobby is getting bigger. Which blow's because there is nothing really "collectible" or "limited" about steel books. There just "another" packaging form for movies really... at least that's where there headed.

If you can accept that and just take it for that I guess its ok to continue. I have already accepted the fact that there is nothing "collectible" or "limited" about steel books and am just getting them as a form of "cool movie packaging" with artwork.

I don't think these will be the same as the white ones.

To be fair Asia still seems to release some limited exclusive steelbooks, Blufans especially. Although most new titles seem to get recycled in every country now.

 

[Jason Bourne]

These won't be same as the whites ones.

source? or hunch?

I think they will be the white JP/KOR ones... that's just pure speculation though on my part.

Will be interesting to see what happens... Future Shop has mostly always brought new art for there releases so I have hope... lol.

 

[jimmy]

Hunch av course. Lol

 

[Konflick]

White steelbook is only for japan and korea

 

[Jason Bourne]

Hunch av course. Lol

ahhh gotcha'.

We shall find out soon enough. The release date really isn't that far for these anyways.
