Anyone else is crazy enough to buy BOTH steelbooks? Making us choose between the Autobot or Decepticon steelbook is torture!
The collectioneur in me wants to buy both but my common sense AND wallet aren't too sure about that!
I'd love to know that i'm not alone in wanting both steelbooks!
I LOVED the movie and i'm such a sucker for sweet steelbooks!

My assumption is that you are from the Great North?

I would assume there are going to be a plethora of exclusives for this release, so steelbooks are certainly a possibility for those of us not in Canada. I would assume everyone already knows this is getting a definite double dip considering the extended cut hits theaters about a month before this release and this is only the theatrical cut. I'm sure a multi-disc extended edition will come out sometime early next year-ish. I'll still get the 2-disc Autobot cover in Oct, though.

Count me in as one of "those people" who enjoy Michael Bay movies. I thought this movie was by far the best popcorn movie of the summer. I enjoyed this movie so much, if we had one HD format, I would probably go out and buy a player just to buy this one in HD.

Myself, I'm debating on getting both Autobot and Decepticon covers, depending on the price when it hits the stores. Currently, it's listed at $29.99 with $5 instant savings. If it actually hits the shelves at $34.99, it might be a hard sell to get both.. The 2-disc version is currently at $28.99..
Since it's a FutureShop exclusive, I assume that can charge whatever they want because no one else can claim that have a lower price for it, but $5 more is a bit too much..
BTW: has any Americans that live close to the boarder made a trip just for something like this? I recall when the X-men 3 steelbook came out, a sales rep was talking to an older couple that there been some travelers from the US that came by for it.. The particular location would probably be the first stop once the highway 99..

Yeah, Steelbooks cost the studios a lot to produce. I don't see them dropping in price.

I actually like the 1-disc artwork. The 2-disc artwork looks... preliminary.

Eventhough I prefer Decepticons over the Autobots, I really can't stand looking at the vague face of Megatron. Optimus Prime is clearer and not an eye ache.
Is it a face of a Decepticon or is it an Eskimo??

Do you know how hard it is to find stuff to buy online? Almost everything is U.S related. And Shipping fees are ridiculous! Plus you can't forget the crappy conversion rate (even though it's been pretty good these past weeks!).
So let us have our kick ass steelbooks!




That’s the second time I’ve said that today!
