I think this looks awesome. We can guarantee no printed backs, inside artwork, no logos, just darn expensive its all I can say!

shipping is only 1000 yen (to the US) and 200 yen for each additional blu-ray

42.00 usa dollars shipped?, not bad! do they ship to usa?

HMV Japan? Yes.

and if you pre-order both Blade 1 & 2, you get a multibuy discount so it comes out to just under $70 with the current exchange rate. fyi, it doesn't have to be Blade 1 to receive the discount. Just any blu-ray that is part of the offer, like the Unstoppable steelbook.

They ship worldwide. It cost 38 USD shipped to me.

guys! i'll pre order right now! you are my saviors!

 

[blumaster]

no prob. I only recently found out about them myself. So now I'm doing what I can to spread the word. Only thing that sucks is amazon getting the good exclusives.....Man, I wish amazon would do standard international for 1000 yen.

once i select checking out it says 1200 for shipping and also adverts hat the shipping could be more depending on the weight, now that i remember i did the same thing with NARNIA and i got hammered with extra cost ending paying about 70 usa , now i'm scared and yes i'm talking about HMV

If Japan has the same horizontal Steelbook for John Carpenters 'The Thing' as Play.com's 'Exclusive'. I wonder will Play release this Steelbook in the UK at some point??

Would be a lot cheaper if they do

Do these Japanese Blades have clean back artwork or are they printed??

 

[Blu-devil]

Clean backs and inside artwork I believe.

Got this on pre-order, looks awesome the red and black colours which match the movie's theme.

Like a few others here I pre-ordered with HMV.jp. Does anyone know how good their packaging is? I've had a few orders with Amazon.jp, and although it wasn't the most secure packaging, I've been lucky each time and had no damaged steels. I've no experience with HMV.jp though.

Has G2 been confirmed for both Blade steels?

 

[tono06]

OMG! so many releases for me this coming month, this one i have it on pre order! i can't wait to have it in my hands!

 

[tono06]

i wrote to Amzon to ask if they could put this in a box and bubble to avoid damaged as when they ship only one steel; well, they said they could not do anything about it but pass my suggestion to shipping dept. since they have to do nothing with them! so now i just have to cross my fingers and hope!

Best thing is to pay for giftwrap and write in the giftmessage box pack in bubble in a box.

What I hate the most is when you buy 4 items and then they ship one by itself in a envelope. That happened to me yesterday, got a nice big dent on Jaws. Oh well sending it back to Japan.

I did this with TDK. No bubble wrap, but they did send it in a box secured to a piece of cardboard. Was definitely worth the extra 300 yen.
