Alin kaya mas ok: Steelbook or transforming case?

pchin · « **Reply #61 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 11:48 PM »

I'll get the 2-disc STEELBOOK + HD DVD!!

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #62 on:** Sep 12, 2007 at 11:52 PM »

Very easy choice for me. There will be HUNDREDS of steelbooks; there will be only ONE Transformer movie that comes in a transforming case.

Well, until the sequel comes out on DVD, at least.

jackdejesus · « **Reply #63 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 12:09 AM »

hope the transforming case is reasonably priced

Naku, it's from Magnavision. Don't hold your hopes up.

Koolkat · « **Reply #65 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 01:50 AM »

The transforming package and the steelbook are both good buys. Plus, I collect Optimus Prime figures so I guess I'll buy the one with the transforming package since Optimus Prime is on the cover.

Waaah! Double dip na naman!

Hopefully the transforming package isn't too filmsy or made of fold-out cardboard...

i wonder if it would be the same design as Ezydvd's

this is great news to those who were interested but cant order

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #69 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 09:21 AM »

The picture of the robot is identical to the one at ezydvd.com.au, but the sleeve is different.

I'm also a little worried about the final quality of this one, not specifically because it's from Magnavision, but because it's a Paramount title. Magna has already improved its more recent Sony/Columbia R3 blockbuster releases. But its Paramount releases have almost always looked pretty bad, packaging-wise. Their Indiana Jones boxed set looked cheap, their Godfather Trilogy digipak set easily came unglued (and was subsequently replaced by low quality keepcase/slipcase), they were the first to come out with sleeves that looked pirated (check out stocks of Footlose, Flashdance and Grease). I suppose the only good boxed set they've released locally would be their Shogun set, and their Sex and The City Season Six set didn't look bad - just bulky.

My deal breaker for the transforming pack would be if it is cardboard. It seems highly unlikely based on the pictures, but then again, you never really know for sure until you see the final product.

Good points commented by Mr. Hankey.

Guess we'll have to wait till the release & hopefully will receive positive feedback. If the transforming pack is deemed "acceptable quality" I might consider getting a set for its "unique" transforming packaging.

cool! i want the steelbook and a transforming package

hopefully we will get an actual pix of the packages soon - and most importantly, the pricing

Dowals · « **Reply #72 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 10:05 AM »

Drats!! Just when I thought it was easy for me to get one, Transforming package already sold out...

ggrrrr...........

Not to worry Rico, you can still get the R3 edition which is cheaper. It appears to be similar to the R4

I wouldn't say that. Until Magnavision reveals the pricing.

My guesses. Since there are four variants:

1-Disc: 695 (Imported disc)
2-Disc: 895
Steelbook: 1300 at the very least
Transforming: 2300 or more.

That's my SPECULATION, based on their previous pricing of the Da Vinci Code set. I think this set is even more desirable than Da Vinci Code, whereas Da Vinci Code is a middling movie with an anti-Church message in a Catholic country, The Tranformers is almost universally liked. This could easily be the best selling DVD of the year.

Magnavision is known to extract the maximum amount of profit where possible. And unfortunately, if we like to own one, we are at their mercy given copyright laws and customs regulations. The Australian version is something like Peso 2000 WITHOUT shipping and handling.

That said, all editions looks collectible. Of the four, I dislike the two-disc Amaray the most. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I will buy the other three...

The Transforming robot is plastic, I believe, based on the pictures in the Cybertron forum with the big maroon round plastic holding the discs.

Despite the fact that I have graduated from collecting giftsets (space hogs) and multiple versions. I will probably get at least two of those versions, hopefully the giftset and steelbook will not be too limited.

Hopefully you are right. At a right price, this could make an excellent Christmas gift to friends, relatives, and MYSELF.

Gotta start saving... One meal a day...

kimosabe · « **Reply #79 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 12:43 PM »

i think i'll passed on spiderman 3 (sorry spidey

) para makaipon pambili ng transforming pack at steelcase.

seph1018 · « **Reply #80 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 12:45 PM »

oh man...does this mean I don't have to buy an R1 anymore? Good things to those who thought of releasing these editions locally.

double dip ba ako for the steelbook and transforming case? The transforming case doesn't look like it's made of cardboard, but until I'm holding both editions in my hands, am gonna hold out.

time to save up...too bad this will come before my birthday. Birthday gift ko nga sa sarili ko pero dagdag gastos sa dami ng papakainin ko.

pwes mag-pandesal na lang sila ;Dhahahaha

Read this too at the Cybertron board. The Moderator posted they do not have final pricing yet but word is it will not go over 2K. Hope Magnavision confirms this pricing soon.

BTW, they also posted Cybertron members will have a discount if pre-ordering from them. Sana PinoyDVD meron din promo...hehe

Hope it's P1,500 or P1,800 lang!

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #83 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 01:49 PM »

if the price is right...i'll double dip right out of the gate for the steelbook & transforming package. though i have a feeling, a third dip is forthcoming with the director's cut.

What's the material kaya of the transforming package? Baka naman cardboard lang yan?

Your guess is as good as ours. Everyone is curious. Guess we'll have to wait till actual release or someone will post some pics.

boredfilmmaker · « **Reply #86 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 07:52 PM »

from the Powerpoint document emailed to me by Ms. Beth Gan of Magnavision.. she said that this will be released in late October..

allanmandy · « **Reply #87 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 08:15 PM »

I'm sorry, but what is an O-ring?

techdude · « **Reply #88 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 08:31 PM »

O-Ring:

Glamorous name for Slipcase.

Koolkat · « **Reply #89 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 09:45 PM »

From the look of the material in the picture, medyo mataba yung transforming prime. I think it's one of those caboodle type toys. Hopefully ganun nga at hindi mukhang cardboard cutout.
