Batman Begins (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Flip
- Start date
I would say a good Korean version is rarer than the JP version, but overall, I preferred the Japanese release.
I had many of the JP versions upon release and have sold all since then, including my personal copies.
A very large amount of the Korean ones I have seen had odd coloring issues in the white portion of the steels, some with a slightly green tint, others with a purple.
Standalone, they looked nice, but paired up, they would often look dissimilar rather than a really nice matching white as the JP versions were.
Hopefully the UK ones avoid the coloring issues.
Because previous warner wave in korea were produced in contracted factory in china. Steelbook itself is not a problem but laser print on steelbook has coloring issue.
But scanavo wanted to produce steelbook again from china for lower cost
So we need to keep eye on asian release steelbook

id have to agree with snoop, as well as with aprilarrow,
true collectors want them all, nothing will come close to those jp or kr releases as snoop very well stated there are two types of people who would buy the uk release...those who want all and already own/will own a jp and a korea and those who would never get one, cause its ''expensive''
the true winners as aprilarrow said are the studios and manufacturers,
so why dont we suggest them to release 10k releases to destroy completely the hobby...?
p.s ''no no i wouldnt pay 11£ for this,....if only i could get it at 10.99£'' *sigh*

Will be interesting to see the Amazon price for this. If they go in above 15.99 they won't sell em quickly so something should give.

Reading the comments here, Pple throw around the term real collectors. What does that mean? I do not want to detract from the steel itself. Can't we just respect all collectors and not find ways to segregate? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Its sad when those who are so called real collectors try to ruin it for the newer collectors. I've been collecting for 6 yrs myself and honestly think there are enough distinguishing features from this and the Asian releases. I'm glad Pple have an alternative choice on where their money will be well spent
Well said sir.
Ive been collecting steels for a year now, and i can in noway afford £120+ for the *** release, but when i saw this and TDK i was over the moon
At least someone agrees with me.
This moaning over international re-releases is just pointless. Is there some global steelbook committee out there that regulates who should have what steel and where? Of course not! Everybody takes our wonderful website here for granted.
There is no global steel market. I mean look...even play.com wouldn't ship to the US so we end up paying a guy from Britain to order us all one. How many people out there do you think really would do this if they were unaware of this forum? A company like Warner isnt going to say "oh snap, 200 people from England bought some Japanese steels, we better release this everywhere else with a different artwork now."
It's like everybody thinks that group buying is the norm in all countries everywhere and movie studios need to know this. Think about it, if you sell as an example 3500 copies of a steel to Japanese residents and 500 to importers, is your first thought going to be "we need to release this in the uk, but totally different." You're going to think that "wow this sold well in Japan and there was even some global interest, let's get this in other peoples hands elsewhere!"
Every collecting hobby is like this. You take a risk buying something hoping it increases in value, but in the end there is no guarantee. Isnt that what collecting is about? If everything that came out was immediately valueable then the hobby would loose interest fast. And eventual value is just one tiny facet of collecting hobbies.
i think these white editions are overrated. The white theme does not recall the visual themes of either movie as well as the Bronze/Black/Blue colour scheme of the other steelbooks for BB & TDK :movie:
You musn't have bought Warner's last 'premium' collection steelbooks which were grey but advertised as white.
I hate that people now are complaining about the big price they payed for a Japanese steelbook of this one ... Nobody said they have to buy it ... i myself am a big batman fan butt now way i'm paying +100$ for a steelbook so i'm glad the release thisz one .... people saying that they think its gonna be a cheap finish are just jalous people that HOPE for a cheap finish ....
