Description: IMPORTANT NOTE: THERE ARE ONLY TWO LEFT OF THIS KIND ON eBay - and THIS IS THE ONLY NEW ONE. Note: Versions of "The Thing" were made in 1951 and 1981, and released in Steelbook in 2021 and 2022. MINT SEALED by BEST BUY WAREHOUSE THE THING 30th ANNIVERSARY RARE REGION FREE BLU-RAY BEST BUY STEELBOOK EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION #2044432 RARE "U-CONTROL" Picture in a Picture!!! Mondo Cover #008 "The Thing" was first released in 1982 as an American science fiction/horror film from the master director, John Carpenter. "The Thing from Another World," referred to as just "The Thing," is a 1951 American black-and-white science fiction-horror film, released by RKO Radio Pictures. The film by Carpenter was filmed in 1981 and released in steelbook in 2021, one year earlier than the 30th anniversary because the 4K version was planned for 2022 as an anniversary version but came out early in September 2021 due to early orders in by customers in other countries so it was released in the United States one year earlier than planned. Mondo COVER ARTWORK STEELBOOK DESIGN CREDIT: Mr. Hubert Jolie In 2014 MONDO teamed up with Best Buy to have their artists do STEELBOOK COVER DESIGNS. MONDO designs included unique ARTWORK ON THE DISCS as well. And in a year Best Buy released 15 steelbooks that became a separate industry for collectors as it spread throughout the world after the Best Buy President, Mr. Hubert Jolie created the steelbook concept to keep Best Buy from closing along with things like exclusive songs on CD's and "The Geek Squad" stopped waiting for people to drop off their computers and became expert home theater installers. [It is important to pay tribute to this man, because his efforts took him away from his wife and home, resulting in Mr. Jolie having to sell all his Best Buy stock for $10.2 million to pay his wife whom divorced the missing husband and for the teams of attorneys.] This was further enhanced by having other countries create and sell steelbooks.Both TARGET and WALMART copied this concept and until the patent ended using "Metal Pak," which were thinner and less durable metal and lacked cover artwork. Now they too can use MONDO and "STEELBOOK." Mr. Jolie created a massive market for collectors that continues while streaming digital and Netflix and Amazon Prime flourish while other studios close as streaming became the "way" to get the movies you want right at your home theater or PC and Ipad. So credit is due to the man that most people have never heard of and most don't know he was the one who saved Best Buy as Walmart and Sam's Club begin selling through Amazon. 100% FULLY GUARANTEED!!!
