If Amazon still shipped product like they did back in the 90s/early 2000s, using bubble wrap or air bags and shrinkwrapping the item to a piece of cardboard glued down to the box, I'd be all for them picking up the steelbook game. As they are currently... it's not exactly a prospect I'm looking forward to. But given how much our hands are tied, I guess I'll be forced to go with them anyway. I was already of a mind to stop getting Disney's Best Buy exclusives after some lackluster Marvel releases and the new Indiana Jones steel that's coming out. My plan was to just get the regular retail and hope for a Manta discless release (seems more likely with the Marvel fare these days). Seems like it may be a decision that's ultimately forced upon me. Hopefully the Lionsgate steels continue with either Amazon or Walmart, at least. This news is a bummer, but the writing has been on the wall for a while.

Speaking of Best Buy steelbooks... some seriously bad news reported by The Digital Bits today. I guess the writing has been on the wall for a while now, but jesus... All I can say is... stop using inappropriate language!!!!! stop using inappropriate language. What the stop using inappropriate language?! https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/101223-1100?fbclid=IwAR03ika0zcBzgdxo_MeZDi_sqnavUcVcfoQv7_zjkZ8RmcC1Y3Kc_bFSZMg

Well said.

Thanks, man. I hadn't seen some of these before. Great stuff!

Interesting! I hadn't heard about this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Manta can bridge the divide. In the meantime, I'll pick up the regular release; gonna skip this steelbook on this one.

I definitely would have preferred that!

@R1s1ngs0n @ShadowWarrior the Young Guns steel is up for order on Best Buy if you guys would be so kind as to update with the affiliate purchase link. 🙏

You and me both, brother.

That's exactly the poster I had wanted on the steelbook, too. Hopefully Manta delivers something soon! And with a slip featuring the teaser poster: Man... I would be all over that in a heartbeat.

If you want to feel really frustrated, here's a mock-up of what that would have looked like from Reddit user ArmsOfKamaji. 😭😭😭

Thanks, @ShadowWarrior! Nice to some news on this release finally. Unfortunately, that artwork is certainly not what I was hoping for... maybe Manta will come through with something for us in the New Year?

Love this. Now we just need word on a freshly remastered 4K Steelbook edition of Young Guns II!

They damn well better! 🤣

No doves?

Hope my kids don’t mind skipping Christmas this year! 😂😂😂

Jodie Foster on the beat in Alaska? I’m effing sold! Still haven’t seen the previous seasons… I’m gonna have to finally get caught up on this show.

Man, that A1 FS looks incredible. Can't wait to get this sucker in hand!

Exactly what I would like, too! I missed out on EtD...tried to order it through the US site and I don't think it's ever coming. Should have ordered through the UK site like I usually do, but their packaging sucks so much it's a crapshoot on if it ever arrives let alone arrives undamaged. I'll risk it for The Fugitive, though.

Ordered! Hoping we get a nice collector's set out of the UK to import, though.

Got my comic slip today, with an America Chavez lenti instead of the Dr. Strange one like @ncraft. It’s a great set, I think. Really solid upgrade from the Best Buy steel!

Hopefully this lives up to Norman Partridge’s awesome book!

It's your birthday! You deserve to treat yourself!

Thank goodness for that! Hopefully the strikes end soon and they can get to work on The Wager. I read David Grann's book earlier this year and it was a great read. Should make for one hell of a Scorsese film (also with DiCaprio)!

Looks fantastic! I sure hope we get a Criterion announcement in the new year.

Looks like a good day for Spider-Man MCU premiums! Now, fingers crossed I make the cut-off for this and Manta's No Way Home.
