Black Sabbath Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Ended up getting the La La Land steel after it ended up being more white and not that awful cream-looking color. Really nice steel. Sadly, will still pass on the Logan steelbook because it looks awful. Ordered the 4K one from Fox Connect for $18 anyway, but will probably get the Target Exclusive too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 John Wick 1 & 2 ($35) and LEGO Batman ($25) steelbook on the way to my house. Dont like the Batman price, but oh well; Loved the movie and the steelbook looks great. Also ordered Bone Tomahawk and Insidious 3 with Best Buy's B1G1 this week. $5 for the pair after a rewards certificate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Look, I like the first two a lot and already own them, so the completist in me would die if I never got the third. Don't judge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Gotta go exchange my LEGO Batman today because the one I got in the mail was dented. Hope the store copy I put on hold is in good condition! The John Wick steels look great, though! Did you get Beauty and the Beast, @Nosaj Thing?

Nosaj Thing Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes. It was a nightmare to get a mint copy but after the hassle I must say I don't know what to do with the steelbook, lol. It's still sealed and I have a ton of movies in my watchlist that I'd choose before BatB. I guess I'll keep it sealed until the end of the year to see if a 3D version is released in the US. My LEGO Batman steelbook was shipped but luckily it arrived in great condition. I handpicked both JW in store, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I decided against it because I really didn't care for the movie, sadly. Ended up exchanging my LEGO Batman for a mint copy. All is well. Was going back and forth between wanting the Life steelbook or not, then I went to order it and it doesn't seem like it's happening now. Oh well. Next purchase for me looks like it'll be Skull Island, which I'm hoping they keep as the full 4K/3D/2D combo (though I've got mild issues with the artwork, too, of course. Sigh.) After that, some various August purchases are up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 It seems that Best Buy Canada only got the John Wick 2 steel and not the first film. It's also already out of stock online and my local store is horrid so I won't even try. I'll wait a few weeks and see if I can find a decent eBay deal for both.

Nosaj Thing Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yeah, that Kong Skull Island steelbook looks horrid, but I'll get it if it ends up being 4K + 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 @James Bond Next time you need an US exclusive, let me know. I can hook you up. I guess BS can do that as well. I'm always eager to help a fellow collector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I ordered the Kong: Skull Island steel, but of all the great artwork for the film, they chose the worst and edited it to the point where it's hard not to see Kong's giant bulge on the front. So I'm on the fence about getting the steel, even though it does have the 4K and 3D. In addition to that, it's $35. So it's either that, or I'll just get the regular 4K release and forget about the 3D. But, I do have the Godzilla steel, so I know deep down I want them to "match". Blu-ray purchasing is serious business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blu-ray purchasing is serious business. What do you use for Blu ray? I have a Sony player and never had a problem until I bought All Quiet on the Western Front: Uncut, released by Shout Factory. For some reason it won't play (I had it exchanged through Amazon. I am not the only one, one reviewer said his Sony won't play it either. Another said he played it on his PS4 just fine, but had to play around the menu options. I wasn't able to do that on my Sony. One review said the disc was manufactured for Region B but mislabeled as Region A. These reviews were from 2015 so somehow Shout Factory has not corrected the issue. My main question is, would I be better off owning a PS4 or Xbox One to play discs that are Region B, even though Region A is only available in my country?

To my knowledge the Xbox One cannot play Region B Blu or DVD discs nor is there an update to do so. That said, I use my One as my primary Blu player and have never had an issue. Might you consider a region free player? I think there are firmware hacks to make almost any standalone Blu-ray player region free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Shout is an American based company so that film should be playable in Region A, if not Region A locked. (look on the back near the bottom there will be a letter if its locked) Im thinking theres a firmware issue with your player.
