Re: Definitive List of DVD's with SteelBook™ cases. (Part IV)
Funimation informed us that the upcoming May re-release of the DBZ Movies 12 & 13 (which I don't think we've build on the site yet for pre-order) will have regular packaging and will NOT be a Steel Case box like the previous releases. They cited a 'supplier issue', but the reality is that the DBZ movie reissues are not selling well except in mass market and those customers probably don't care too much about how the movies are packaged, so Funi is going to save the money.
Sorry for the confusion guys. Supplier issues have been resolved and FUNimation will be releasing the Dragon Ball Z DVD Movies 12 & 13: Fusion Reborn / Wrath of the Dragon in a steel case as planned.

Got mine in the mail today that I ordered during the same sale, and it's the second Steelbook in a row to arrive all bent up due to the lousy packaging Wherehouse mailed it in. Contacted CS, and I sure hope they exchange it for an undamaged copy this time unlike when they said they would with the last one (The Dead Girl Steelbook) only to cancel that item from my order after I mailed back the damaged copy with their return shi[pping label and RA#. I'll never order Steelbooks from them again.

looks like J&R is having another $6.99 First Look Steelbook sale. newly released Dog Soldiers and Eye See You are listed at this price. Not sure how long the sale will last, but most likely about a week like the last one they had.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear this. I like these DBZ SteelBooks and was disappointed that they were not going to keep the packaging consistent. I even tried to register at ToonZone forums to ask a FUNimation rep about this, but my registration at Toon Zone Forum did not meet their membership requirements and was deleted

Good point. I didn't realise they were local until a just few days ago. I'm less than 15 miles from their headquarters.

I've been wondering if the re-release of the x-men trilogy, and the availability of the international steelbooks, would affect the price of the X-Men 3 steelbook. Guess not. I just saw a recent auction (feedback's been exchanged) where one went for $300!

I just ordered the "V For Vendetta" Region 3 SteelBook from a fellow DVDTalk member. I've always thought this thing looked incredibly badass, and far cooler than the R1 Future Shop version. I'm glad I bought this one (for $15 shipped, no less) rather than holding out for the R1.

i for one love my R1 "V For Vendetta". it has a gorgeous matte finish to it. i don't even mind the French on this one as it gives it a more authentic, classic look. one of my cornerstones.

Stopped into an FYE today and they had the Robocop 20th Anniversary Steelbook on sale used for 12.99. Snatched that sucker up because it was in great condition, plus I wanted to own the movie anyway. They had a few other steelbooks there I may go pick up with my next paycheck.
This brings my growing Steelbook collection up to 9 and counting.

This looks a lot nicer than Royal Rumble 2009. At least it has some colour to it.

It can be FYE, Suncoast, or any other TWEC chain stores.

Re: Definitive List of DVD's with SteelBook™ cases. (Part IV)
I have a question for those that have the Cloverfield Steelbook from FYE. I have the Cast Away, The Day After Tomorrow, The Departed, Man On Fire, Robocop, and two unopened (The Dark Knight, Iron Man - no way of knowing) Steelbooks and all come with an insert.
Well, I bought and received the Cloverfield Steelbook off of eBay and it doesn't have an insert. My question is, did it come with one like all the others? Also, was this only a 1-disc release? Thanks for any info.
