Hey everyone.

First, I would like to apologize if this does not fit in here.
Mods please do what you must. (Just let me know :D?)

So I was at walmart the other day and for some reason they had this display of a few steelbooks and stickerbooks it seems.

I'm not sure how rare/good these are.
Anyone know anymore about them?

All movies (I checked about half and then I stopped) are in a steelbook/stickerbook in this display.

I would not call the batman ones rare...those were all over best buy last year as there "exclusives"..now they show up at wal mart....imagine how many wal marts there are...in my city..we have 32 locations.....so rare definitely there not.

Games are slowly going that way (or I think we're already there with all the variants :D), goodbye money :suicide:

Yep there are only a select few blu ray steel collectors who play at getting them all as there are so damn many blu ray steels especially if you include variants

And VG steels are starting to get like that too

Very common to release a steel with an AAA title nowadays

Haha I guess if all walmarts have this, then yes, it's basically an unlimited supply lol.

Video game steels now a days seem so abundant!

Well they are marked at 12.99, which is ok for some but not all.
I wonder if they are. I remember seeing both Clash & Wrath of the Titans at BB before.

I just check the website and damn I would never have imagined walmart selling steelbooks in a millions years... my friend are drooling right now lol. and since this is walmart, I could foresee that the price would be around 5 bucks on sale days :D
The only thing I want is Saving Private Ryan, good thing I waited for that, was about to pay 30 bucks for one

this is a major happening to be honest, it don't see why not they shouldn't stock on vg steelbooks but bestbuy never really sold vg steelbooks though

That's true.

Well Walmart should buy all the ones that go on clearance at FS :D

Haha I'm sure for movie steelbook collectors, this is amazing. And someone who wants to start, since the price point is pretty good!

But yeah, hit me up in case you need any of the ones you see there.

As long as it's still available, I don't mind helping a fellow member out!

Those batman steelbooks are actually a new release. If you look carefully at Batman Begins you'll see it's artwork is different from previously released steelbooks, however there doesn't seem to be much (if any) difference for TDK. I'm getting both (hopefully) in June, so will be able to compare TDK one to my older copy xx

They're all available from Amazon too, but with a release date of June 25th. So you could always preorder some :shrug: Saves you from buying right now. Don't really see them selling out tbh xx

Just found these at Best Buy yesterday. Price seems to be cheaper than Walmart. They also had SuckerPunch which I had not seen in a while
