Dredd (Blu-ray SteelBook) [Japan]
- Thread starter domalorite
- Start date
I don't know, it's a vast improvement over the majority of Zavvi's releases, in my opinion.
And the Japanese angle makes it more collectable-at least for me anyway.
Personally I don't think it is and Zavvi's releases don't cost half as much.
I have got mostly U.K steels Dredd BLOWS them all away. Same with the Pacific Rim I have just got.
I AM NOT looking at any more Japan steels as they are truly JAW DROPPING and I will be bankrupt
.
The clarity of the colours the smoke is like watching a garden fire as the depth intermingles and looks bellowing even though it is still.
Same with the Leather the creases are individual and defined same with the Lawgiver just unbelievable detail.
Finish wise Prometheus with the vibrancy and definition of Roger Rabbit.
It is a true class act I thought everyone else would vote for this in the first round of Steel Of The Year. So like others I left it and vote wise it did not get in the top 25 , LESSON LEARNT.
Even the DISK is superior with the transfair BOTH visual AND audio.

Best version of Dredd to get is the French tin version IMO 
Separate 3D, 2D and DVD discs in an awesome digipack, comic book all housed in a really nice embossed tin

Is the disc really superior? I have the U.S. disc which had 7.1 audio AND 3D.
Why is the Japanese disc better? Has someone compared them?

The back really comes to life after glossing as the colors pop and you can see a bit more details that appears hazy with the original finish. The front doesn't benefit that much like the back though it looks better post glossing due to better colors and the guilty pleasure caused by the sheen.
Regarding posting the pics, I believe it is better than the personal attacks and the endless arguments that has led to locking of some of the threads.

Here are my pics of my copy. I'm not sure if they'll help you decide any better as it's difficult to take a good pic of it.......(Click on pics for hi-res)

Since the Dawn of time Japan steels have always been expensive! Never going to change....
I have this and love it especially with the Katakana on the spine making it a WEA...
If you buy asian steels you know they are going to be expensive and if you live in Japan it only costs the same as certain UK releases......£21.12

Japan DVDs have always been a premium, not just steelies and BDs
I remember paying £250 for the Japanese limited edition Alien Anthology DVD set!!
Sorry about this new post but GGGGRRR Photo not adding on edit This is of the Japan and U.K 3D
It worked at last .

I've got the French MetalPak too and I agree it's great-worth getting too, if you can spare the cash!
It's a pig to fit on my shelf though!
Karl is coming in March for the Orlando Comic con, hopefully I'll get mine signed and then Glossing it
Thanks for the positive comments guys. Check out the photo I'm posting shortly of the signed FNAC Dredd tin.
If you go to a 'con' get a VIP ticket and prepare to have your wallet emptied.
I was a scifi/comic book convention virgin. Couldn't get a VIP ticket. On the saturday, spent 45 minutes standing in line in the cold for a wristband. an hour and a half after that to get in. an hour for a photo with Karl. an hour and a half for autographs from Karl, the same for Peter Weller, at $50 each. (Mind you, Chris Hemsworth in Sacramento is charging $150 for a photo and $199 for 'premium' items, so these guys seem like bargains!)
Karl is my 'man crush'. He knew it too, he signed my 10 x 8 photo 'Steve, lots of love, Karl'. What a guy.
But as this is a little off topic, take your Dredd Japan steelbooks to be signed by Karl and thank him for taking the time to be there so the fans can meet him. Not enough people put in appearances in my opinion and I respect those that do, even if you are on your feet all day paying for the opportunity.

Never been to a Comic Con but I've always wanted to. May have to look into when one may be in my vicinity.
Thanks for the tips Ebbing.
