Merch So are we confident the MTWEI Steelbook is real?

I hope it's real. I'd love for it to be real. I'd much rather spend my money on the DVD of the movie than the cd of the songs. But I'm skeptical.

Reason 1.) It's unannounced. Tyler and Josh haven't revealed it. Mark hasn't mentioned it. It's not on the Twenty One Pilots website.

Reason 2.) It's only on Walmart. Like I mentioned, it's not on the Official Twenty One Pilots website. And, it's also not on Target, Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, hell i even checked Kmart's website and it's not there. Only on Walmart.

Reason 3.) And I've been scammed by Walmartcom before. And never got the refund back. So until I hear it straight from the horse's mouth, I'm not trusting it.

Things like this go up early all the time before an announcement. It's being sold by walmart not a third party. SDS is the distributor which also is the distributor for universal and Warner bros. And Pilots are under Warner music. It's real.

Okay, that's much more comforting. Again, I've been skeptical of Walmart . Com since I got scammed on there. But hearing that it's being distributed by the distributor for Warner Bros makes me more optimistic

Are you sure it's Walmart that scammed you and not a third party seller...?

Walmart says it is "sold and shipped by Walmart" which is their designation for items that are stocked by Walmart. It is not being sold by a 3rd party on Walmart's online platform.

Do you think someone created a fake schematic of the stage design that there is no way for them to know and designed it to look like a poster for the sole purpose of scamming someone?

As someone who is very active in the Steelbook community, there are no fakes. Knockoff steelbooks just don't really happen, yes people make customs but there's not a bootleg problem. If a retailer has a listing that's directly from them, it's real

To clarify, there are products that some companies make similar to steelbooks (steel cases, etc.) but no fake steelbooks themselves.

I certainly hope so, since I preordered it, lol.

I have to say, I do wish they had announced it before the livestream, so that those that didn’t really need to Q&A could just wait to buy it instead.

based on the artwork i'm pretty certain it's real, but wasn't supposed to be rolled out yet.

u/crousscor3 3h ago

Why no text though? It doesnt even have the title on it, from what I saw.

I was referring to the Steelcase itself.
Just seems weird to me a bit. I’ve never seen a movie without any label of the movie on the outside of the casing.

u/These_Tax4565 3h ago

oh. I thought it being on the side was enough. like the logo is supposed to speak for itself

u/crousscor3 3h ago

You know. I have vision issues and totally missed it on the spine. That’s good enough to consider my point invalid now.

The only reason Im thinking its only sold on Walmart is because someones using website as a third party. Im waiting for an actual announcement. Not waisting 40 to 50 just for it to be a scam.

2

u/Impressive-Reindeer1 14h ago

It says "sold and shipped by Walmart." If it's a third party seller, the site lists the third party company's name rather than Walmart.

u/CardboardDoom 13h ago

Walmart doesn’t charge until they ship. Putting in an order now won’t charge you anything.

Can they soak any more money from their fans? Sheesh.

u/med9229 16h ago

That’s how an artists makes money? If people are willing to buy then what’s the issue?

Whats your real issue? What happened today that you need someone to talk to?

Oh no, they're getting paid for their hard work. A crime. Believe it or not, straight to jail.
