Thor: The Dark World (3D+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [Taiwan]
- Thread starter bluraysteel
- Start date
Yep the Steelbook is identical to the others. It's the slip and other bits that give it that solid feel.
does someone have a picture of the additional stuff included inside, I didn't open my copy but I really feel even though it's the same steel as the other releases, it can't be just the cardboard slip on and a booklet because it is really heavy feel... any pictures of the inside anyone ?
This keeps popping up on eBay, does anyone know the print run as this seems a far better option than the kimchi version? Loving the embossing on the slip.
The slip is way better than the Kimchi one...If you are on a budget, this is the one to get
The value of this dropped quite quick than IM3

It is Out Of Print !
Whatever the sellers currently have in stock, it is what's left.
Not possible for Taiwanese sellers to order more copies, discontinued.

This is my favourite Release of all The Thors, The slip is a killer.

The majority of steelbook releases are OOP the minute it is released onto the market.
This one was not, Thor 2 was very popular in Taiwan and Deltamac was still printing copies after the release date. This version did get a higher release than usual and yes Taiwanese release usually are OOP while they are on pre order(i.e Gravity) this wasn't the case for this release. However they are now not pressing any more copies.
as a collector I wished they would have done only one pressing, but it got 2 pressings and higher print than usually for a Taiwanese release.
I don't understand what you mean ? your sentence is difficult to understand the way it's written
He said maybe that's why it went out of stock the first time, because they ran out, and then proceeded to print more, which made it come back in stock.
Ah ok sorry for misunderstanding, well actually from what I was told from my contact In taiwan; they did the first pressing, and as stock got low in stores and demand was still high, they proceeded with the 2nd pressing to supply the demand. But for the consumer this was transparent. There was never a time that you actually couldn't get a copy, so for the consumer they were not aware if it was first or 2nd pressing. Now They are not pressing anymore copies it is OOP. So stock left is what you see...until no more floating around
I have the Zavvi one, before I knew how sharing a pressing worked I bought it but learned and noticed it was the same but dressed differently. I of course prefer a unique steelbook but if they share the pressing I don't go for the UK one, rather have one dressed up and ready to put his groove on 
Can someone who has opened it confirm the finish is matte? Someone told me that it's gloss which seems highly unlikely from the pics in OP.
It's the same steel worldwide, just dressed differently.
And Zavvi does not come next to The Kimchi Exclusive(worth a lot of money), Zavvi has a poorly design slip cover very generic and a terrible shrink wrap that looks sloppy. The FutureShop one comes above(better) than Zavvi due to the title on it IMO.
BUT If you want to invest in Thor 2, You cannot go wrong with the Taiwan one, the slip cover is just superb, they put such great effort to make the world wide steel have a WOW factor. After that of course there's Kimchi Exclusive Lenticular Slip but that one is really pricey since limited to 700 copies (maybe you could find a great deal at this time)... those would be what I suggest that have the most love that was put into them creating a super final product.
Now if you want to wait for the Blufan one, that will be a great steel, but if you want to pick up a Thor 2 steel right now a Taiwan or a Kimchi Exclusive would be your best option.
Look over both threads and read the posts you will see what people have to say how much praise there is for those 2 steels(Taiwan and Kimchi Exclusive)
hope this helps
