I must be an idiot

But it's limited to 2000!!!!

And look at the artwork



Nah I don't collect Movie steels, got to draw the line somewhere even if it's not a very big one

Btw how is it limited to 2000?

Anyone know if MOQ for steels have changed lately or is this one of the rare special cases?

No i think the MOQ is still 2000 but entertainment store apparently had a special 'exclusive' deal with paramount to release a batch of steels at lower quantity. So i think there are more coming and they will generally increase the MOQ

These are the ES exclusives so far

Jack Reacher - Limited to JUST 500!!
Hansel & Gretel - Limited to 1000
G.I Joe 2 - Limited to 2000

A couple more and they will get to 4000 and likely be a new source of steels - Good for ES and Studio

Wow I was under the impression that MOQ for G2's was still at 4000 but that is shocking to hear

Maybe we'll start to see rarer printed VG steelbooks then

Hopefully, who knows maybe one day the forum will be big enough and can get in touch with studios to get exclusives

I've always wondered how places like hidefninja and other blu ray steel forums get certain exclusives

Is it indirect through scanovo or direct from studios that the decisions are made?

Have in mind that the exclusivity and the limited thing in all these cases is the slip (for example, the ES exclusives for the UK). The general print run of the steelbook is a lot more (Jack Reacher released in many countries, same with the others).

Ah ok that makes far more sense then as for the actual print/production runs of steelbooks cases the MOQ is usually G2 4000/ G1 8000

Same with VG steelbooks, you almost always find them in multiple countries

On the other hand, there are steels that have lower print runs than 4000. The upcoming japanese release of Dredd is 1500 and hasn't been announced anywhere else (only steelbook of this movie that has been/will be released).

The Rogger Rabbit (first zavvi worldwide exclusive) was a 3000 run. At hdninja there is a thread with the lowest print runs (they include the shop exclusives, like Jack Reacher). Fnac releases are selling in huge prices, just for having a fnac sticker!

interesting then

There has been one VG steelbook that I now of that had a less then 4000 size run and that was a 1000 run

Thought it was a fluke though
