I wouldn't stress too much over this steelbook to be honest. This isn't like the RE6 Thailand steelbook that was nearly impossible to get. There are a lot of international sellers based in Taiwan. Chances are, someone will get a hold of extra steels that weren't sold along with the game. Just need to wait.

You could also sell the copy of RE2 for a few $.
Waiting is of course a valid option, but getting a mint version of the steelbook afterwards is risky in my opinion. But it might work.

Yes, it's a sealed copy of the Taiwan exclusive Steelbook Edition.
Included is of course the Steelbook, the game, a DLC (Which can only be used on an asian PSN account) and a slipcase.
Still, not cheap.

Received mine today and I have to say, it looks really great.
In my opinion even better than GEOs. I like the Artwork from GEO far more, but it's a bit too dark printed in my opinion. The TW one is a bit better visible and has some nice glossy effects to it. (which unfortunately, yields some slightly micro scratches despite the excellent packaging within the edition)

Even the outer slipcase looks really neat and comes with embossed "Biohazard RE:2" logos on the front and back. I just wish there would have been a bit more inside the edition. Like DMC5 has some postcards. And I have to admit it, I imagined the slipcase to be a bit bigger, but that was my false assumption.
Overall, I'm happy I bought it even for a steep price.

Now I'm thinking about selling the RE2 copy of it to get some money back, or if I should keep it in order to not devalue the edition any further. Since I'm fairly new to collecting Steelbooks, I would like to read what you guys think on this?

PS: If you would like me to take some pictures leave a comment. I figured we already have some photos, so I didn't bother.

Of course we want pictures

Regarding the value, it will always value more if is sealed and considering from what franchise it is it will for sure hold its value and almost certainly value up.
It will also deppend how established this store becomes when it comes to steelbooks. If they grow to become the new Geo then it will end up going up in value even more, even further if we consider how hard they are to get when compared with others.

Just my opinion though, i can be seriously wrong

To be honest, I don't intend to sell that stuff later down the road. I buy it for me and me alone, but it's also good to know that you didn't spent insane amounts of cash on something that has 0 value later on. (you never know what happens in life)
I had to break the seal of the edition, so only the simple PS4 game is still sealed. Dunno, if I should sell it or not. On the other hand, it's a Taiwan edition. Doubt many within the EU would be interested.

As promised some pictures:

Spoiler!


Sadly, I noticed some imperfections on the back of the Steelbook, but it's nothing to serious and barely noticeable without a heavy light source.
