All this "topito collection" will be Futurepak !

Please provide link so we can all make sure it will be Futurepak. Thanks!

Edit: I've checked everywhere and there is no mention of Futurepak. Steelbook is mentioned on several sites and I'm quite sure all Topito collection items will be steelbooks.

For this Steelbook, it should be renamed as 'Close Encounters of the Turd Kind'.

I hope you know that "Service Client Amazon" isn't able to answer to a question like that !

Well, if they can't answer, nobody can.
I made an iquiry about two specific items which I've ordered and that was their answer.
Amazon.fr responded that they are both Steelbooks.

If it happens they are not, I will get a refund. Simple as pie

By the way, "Service Client Amazon" means Customer Service so don't know who I should be getting an answer from

@djfab, please tell me who at amazon is able to answer my questions. Thanks!

You trust Amazon Customer Service more than live pics?

"Well, if they can't answer, nobody can." ->

You see a photo, it's a good proof. And steelbookpro says that it's confirmed by 2 sources that it's futurepak "il ne s’agira pas de steelbooks de type stickerbook mais de metalpaks (= futurepaks). Cela a été confirmé par deux sources différentes."

It's not he first time that the artwork on amazon is wrong ! And it's not written "steelbook" !

 

[javiermendoza]

You trust Amazon Customer Service more than live pics?

Yes and it's a live pic for one of them, haven't seen the other 13 anywhere, yet.
Once amazon.fr asures me that they are steelbooks and I receive metalpaks, I get a full refund without returning the items.

It's also not the first time I've ordered an edition boitier metal from amazon.fr and got a steelbook in the mail.

Nobody at Topito hasn't confirmed that they are Futurepaks. When they do that, I'll cancel my order blitz like

Wasn't too happy with the Zavvi one, but it looks like a f'ing work of arts compared to this
