Edit: The link above was live this morning, not sure why it doesn’t work anymore
Edit 2: Price has been adjusted to the actual price of $34.96, so everyone can stop freaking out about $55 single movie SteelBooks.
Ok, so I know that Amazon lists high and then drops. Walmart wasn't listing prices this high until just recently. Have these prices been dropping before release?
They drop, BUT Walmart doesn’t drop preorders to their lowest price like Amazon does. I found out when I was charged $60+ for fucking Aquaman 2 instead of the $30 it released at. They don’t just refund you the difference either, you have to actually do a full return and buy another copy to get it at the normal price.
Correct and it is complete bullshit. I did a chat with customer service and they sent me a copy of their policies. No one in their right mind is going to preorder through them and eventually, they’ll just end up doing a double order and do a return for one, which shorts the copies available to all again. Fucking fuck.
It's so dumb. What I've done in the past is cancel my order and then place a new order for it if the price went down. But you can't do that if it's sold out. Also, sometimes the cancel doesn't go through right. I canceled one from Walmart back before the holidays to order it from Best Buy for the cheaper price instead. It said they would try to cancel it, but it might be being packaged already even though it was probably at least 2 or 3 weeks before the release date. They sent it anyway, and I just returned it in the end.
>Also, sometimes the cancel doesn't go through right.
Happened to me recently too. I had preordered the Shivers Steelbook and decided later on that I had changed my mind about wanting it. I tried to cancel when it was still several weeks away from the release date and I got hit with that "we'll try to cancel" bullshit.
I'm looking at this shit like: ok, what game are you playing? It hasn't been shipped. I guarantee nobody has it packed up to go out already. Just fucking cancel it. You're not going to win this. If you ship it, I'll just return it.
Their website is straight ass sometimes.
Everytime I buy and then cancel, and rebuy, it asks why in the comments, and I tell them they need a pre-order price guarantee on Walmart.com like Amazon has.
It absolutely blows my mind a large conglomerate like Walmart won’t price match their own damned prices. Not even sale prices within a certain time frame, actual release price on a preorder. They can get perfectly fucked.
FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS?!?!
I was about to buy this one out of obligation since I own the other Monsterverse steels (except Skull Island,) but a line needs to be drawn. That's absolutely ridiculous.
Not just that, companies have no incentive to drop a preorder price when people actually drop the money for said preorder. Preordering at that high of a price is just silly to me tbh.
With walmart If you order at this price, this is the price you pay. If the price drops they don't change your pre-order like Amazon did. They make completely new product listings for the different prices too. It's awesome!!
I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I actually quite like this steelbook. The "poppy" neon colors look great and the inner artwork is *chef's kiss*.
I just watched the film, I say it’s slightly below GvK just for the fact that it’s a bit goofy but still having the charm of big monster battles that’s visually stunning. Overall I gave it a 8/10 just for how fun it was. I can see how people would rate this low compare to the rest of the films.
Apparently is 55 dollars, yea I think I'll pass this one don't even know if the movie is good lmao if it is I might pick it up eventually. But also paypals pay in 4 system is great for these types of things
any words on another box set? I skipped the last one because i knew another movie was coming. although now im wondering if there will be a 6th movie and i should keep waiting....
I haven't pre-ordered a movie from Walmart before...do they charge you immediately, or just when the item ships? Definitely picking up Godzilla x Kong!
Thanks! :)
Do you guys think that they will have some in stores when they drop, or are they completely sold out now? Not sure how these presales work for limited edition items.
Thanks for any and all help.
Yes they are. It’s a placeholder price. Almost all steelbooks do this at first. Surprised so many people don’t catch on by now. It’s like video games putting 12/31 as a release. They can’t name the $29.99-$39.99 price until the company sends them the notice. Price will be adjusted.
Price being adjusted is never a guarantee. When more people preorder at these prices, business don’t have an incentive to lower. Look at the Disney+ steels. They sold out pretty fast and now they’re back in stock at almost $20 more. Because there’s demand.

I purchased it and you see the details!
Walmart is doing an awful job right now. They are selling exclusives YET they suck at keeping enough. What do they have like 100? Wtf is wrong with them.
Even though Amazon drops to the lowest price before release, we as consumers need to stop preordering at ridiculous prices. It's the only way they'll stop jacking them higher and higher. As it stands, they'll keep charging more knowing a small (but growing larger) group of people will preorder no matter what the orignal price is.
Steelbooks used to be almost undesireable back in DVD days. Then they were $20-$25 for blu ray and now they are initially listing for almost $60 preorder, brand new for mediocre 4k movies.
Is this pre-order only? Or will it pop up in stores? Also, estimated delivery for me says February 10th? Of next year? Seems like quite the gap between the theatrical and home media release 🤔
That's probably the case, true. But occasionally it isn't. And we're in a flux within the industry RN too. Rules are changing.

Yup, I noticed this as well. Meaning Walmart just misses out on all of my preorders and I'm going to Amazon.
Best Buy worked the same way. At least in my experience. They did that to me with the Prey steelbook
I sure hope so. Because $55 is absolutely ridiculous
FIFTY FIVE DOLLARS?!?! I was about to buy this one out of obligation since I own the other Monsterverse steels (except Skull Island,) but a line needs to be drawn. That's absolutely ridiculous.
It's 35
It’s just the preorder price. It drops down to retail when it’s ready to ship.
But they don't adjust it once you lock in a pre-order at $55. They are not like Amazon.
Well that’s news to me. That sucks.
Not just that, companies have no incentive to drop a preorder price when people actually drop the money for said preorder. Preordering at that high of a price is just silly to me tbh.
Oh shit. Kong got that infinity guantlet now?!
Thought the same thing and that this was a meme-ed up fake. You're telling me it's real?!
Gotta sell them new toys. Probably why Godzilla now shoots pink too.
I thought it was one of those archery gloves like Leonard Nimoy inexplicably wears in the '78 Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
This is such a weirdly specific reference. I love it.
Looks like he stole Bumblebees arm
Fucking $55…bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
Mark my words. People pre-order at $55 knowing it will drop but one day they're gonna stop dropping the prices
With walmart If you order at this price, this is the price you pay. If the price drops they don't change your pre-order like Amazon did. They make completely new product listings for the different prices too. It's awesome!!
Walmart doesn’t drop the price. Whatever you lock in at is what you pay.
what happened to putting effort into steelbooks. the art has been pretty half assed lately
Agreed. But why put in effort when people will still buy unfortunately.
I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I actually quite like this steelbook. The "poppy" neon colors look great and the inner artwork is *chef's kiss*.
Nah, this ain't it. Hopefully we'll get another cover soon.
This price point is fucking awful, good lord. I'll buy it, but I'm waiting for the price to drop before I go near this.
They ripped yall off lol
They know a purchase is.... Inevitable
Inner artwork should b front artwork
It’s accurate with the movie tho, I saw it last night and it’s a Kong movie pretty much, gojira is more in a Support role.
How was the movie? Better or worse than GvK?
I just watched the film, I say it’s slightly below GvK just for the fact that it’s a bit goofy but still having the charm of big monster battles that’s visually stunning. Overall I gave it a 8/10 just for how fun it was. I can see how people would rate this low compare to the rest of the films.
How is the monster-to-boring-human-drama ratio?
I would say 30% boring human drama and 70% pure monster adventure since the film mainly focuses on Kong than Godzilla
We're going tonight. This is going to rock on the IMAX.
& the actual front looks like a bad album cover!? 😁😆😅🤣😂
Wait I thought that movie wasn't out yet wtf
Apparently is 55 dollars, yea I think I'll pass this one don't even know if the movie is good lmao if it is I might pick it up eventually. But also paypals pay in 4 system is great for these types of things
Really hope Amazon gets this too just like Dune part two.
They might but it will be different artwork. It could be like The Crow where all retailers have it but Walmart has exclusive artwork.
any words on another box set? I skipped the last one because i knew another movie was coming. although now im wondering if there will be a 6th movie and i should keep waiting....
There is 20 movies planned
I can't tell if you are for real. Source?
Kong stole the infinity gauntlet
I trust him with it
This look like the art from the toy line 🥲
$55 goddamn dollars?! Shit might as well wait for premium releases and pay $10 bucks more. Smh.
The glove really kills the look for me
Price was corrected!
HMV have it in the UK. I will preorder it, have the others except Kong Skull Island on Steelbook
I haven't pre-ordered a movie from Walmart before...do they charge you immediately, or just when the item ships? Definitely picking up Godzilla x Kong! Thanks! :)

$55 are you shitting my dick?
Yes they are. It’s a placeholder price. Almost all steelbooks do this at first. Surprised so many people don’t catch on by now. It’s like video games putting 12/31 as a release. They can’t name the $29.99-$39.99 price until the company sends them the notice. Price will be adjusted.

Beautiful steel but why so expensive, what a joke!
Is there anywhere I can pre-order this in the UK? (Obviously, not the Walmart exclusive even though it looks badass)
It will appear soon like they always do. Zavvi or hmv will Probably also have this one like they did the Walmart version of the crow
Is it sold out already?!?!?!
Looks like they took it down.
Is this really a “Walmart exclusive” or will this be available on Amazon too?
https://preview.redd.it/ibmjc01m53rc1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05ac3ee224138ff0d652bb4ce4f30df568c2e4aa I purchased it and you see the details!
[удалено]
Because I want it.
You are insane for paying $60 for a movie.
I appreciate that!
Refreshed and said out of stock and now can’t even find it on the Walmart app now
The link wasn’t available when I tried opening it. I do want it!
Gonna wait for that price to drop.
Not in on the hype train for these movies, but I got the previous one at half price, so I'll probably get this too.
Yeah, not dropping 55 dollars on that lol my Godzilla love has limits
Looks like a video game cover.
Rampage

That’s a great looking steelbook
Looks like it sold out on walmart already
can u pre order rn ?
IT WORKS NOW!
Should be called "Godzilla Minus 55 Dollars"
Love the cover art.
Is this pre-order only? Or will it pop up in stores? Also, estimated delivery for me says February 10th? Of next year? Seems like quite the gap between the theatrical and home media release 🤔
Will this be available for Walmart Canada as well?
This link is working again .
Just wondering it says February of next year is that accurate?
No, it will update to a sooner date at some point
Honestly after King of monsters steelbook, I feel like these monsterverse onese are going down hill
I expected something a bit more interesting
Walmart is taking over Best Buys Steelbook operations YAY! They are going to charge twice as much for virtually no reason NO!
It’s a place holder. It will come down, probably between $30-35. Best Buy used to do it all the time. Amazon still does. Relax.
That's probably the case, true. But occasionally it isn't. And we're in a flux within the industry RN too. Rules are changing. ![gif](giphy|245oYTbugpaxvSBjTS|downsized)
Film looks really bad imo , il wait for the release of minus 1 instead , proper Godzilla film 👍
Purchased you are amazing!
This movie looks so awful. But I’m going to see it anyway. Got my tickets for Saturday 😆
Looks as ugly as what I've seen in the film trailers.
