Update: Fallout’s 4K Steelbook Edition is back in stock at Amazon for $43 on July 18. If you have trouble completing your order via the browser version of Amazon’s storefront, try Amazon’s mobile app. We were able to place an order through the mobile app but not on the browser storefront.
Editor’s Note: The story below was written on July 13.
Fallout: Season 1 released on 4K Blu-ray a few days ago, but you can already get a nice deal at Amazon. Normally $40, Season 1’s 4K release is up for grabs for only $30, which is the same price as the 1080p Blu-ray version. To be clear, this 4K deal is for the standard edition with a plastic case, not the Limited Edition Steelbook. The latter sold out shortly after preorders opened in April and briefly returned around launch last week for $43. And unlike some steelbook editions, it’s truly limited edition, according to Amazon, and was only “available while supplies last.”

With limited-edition Blu-rays, there’s always the chance it receives a reprint down the line, but the way Amazon handled preorders for the standard 4K edition makes it seem like supplies could indeed be gone for good. Amazon waited until mid-May, after the the Steelbook sold out, before listing the standard edition for the same price ($40). The absence of a price difference between the two suggests the steelbook case was essentially an early preorder bonus. Or maybe it will be restocked tomorrow–no one can really say for sure.
In any case, the $10 discount on the standard edition is a nice consolation for those who weren’t able to secure the one with fancier packaging and art cards at launch (July 8). The actual on-disc content is the same for each version.
$30 (was $40)
Fallout: Season 1 is a three-disc set featuring all eight episodes in 4K resolution (2160p) with HDR (Dolby Vision and HDR10). It also supports enhanced audio with Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 surround sound.
Season 1’s eight episodes clock in at 450 minutes (7.5 hours). After you’re done, you can pop in the special features disc and watch an assortment of behind-the-scenes featurettes. Like many other 4K releases of shows and movies, the bonus content is on a regular Blu-ray disc instead of 4K.

$43 | Restocked on July 18
Update: Amazon has restocked Fallout’s Steelbook Edition on July 18.
If you’re really interested in the Limited Edition Steelbook, we’d recommend double-checking to make sure it’s still sold out. If it becomes available, there’s a good chance it will disappear again soon, so you’ll want to be quick.
The steelbook case features exclusive character art on the front and back, while the interior art includes an advertisement for Vault-Tec with Vault Boy reassuring you that everything will be just fine. You’ll also get a slipcase and five art cards featuring the main characters.
Fallout: Season 1 released on Prime Video last April and earned positive reviews from critics and fans, making it one of the few live-action video game adaptations for TV that lived up to its namesake. It’s fairly uncommon for Amazon to release its original shows on Blu-ray, so it’s cool that Fallout is now available to watch without a subscription. The physical editions were manufactured and distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.
The show follows three characters as they trek across the Wasteland–a Vault dweller heading above ground for the first time, a squire of the Brotherhood of Steel, and a deadly bounty hunter known as The Ghoul.
We’ve rounded up some cool Fallout merch below, in case you want to add some collectibles to your display shelves.
The official Fallout Store on Amazon is loaded with products themed around the Prime Video show and Bethesda’s game series. From backpacks and hoodies to records and figurines, there’s a little bit of everything, including a Vault Boy plush fashioned as a rubber duck, as shown above. You can also get Vault Boy, Nuka-Cola T-51, and Nuka-Girl as rubber duck vinyl figures for discounted prices.

Fallout Action Figures
If you like action figures and statues, check out this four-pack of six-inch Fallout figures. You could also grab the premium Fallout Maximus Figure by Dark Horse for $50 (was $70). Standing 10 inches tall, the hand-painted Brotherhood of Steel collectible is a great addition to any home theater or game room.
Fallout Mega Bloks Building Sets
Fallout fans who like construction sets should check out the pair of Mega Bloks sets based on the Fallout 4 video game. Both sets released last year and were sold out for months before Amazon restocked them earlier this year. The Amazon-exclusive Mega Fallout T-60 Power Set comes with five micro action figures and buildable rigs (327 pieces) for $30. The Mega Fallout: Red Rocket Truck Stop Set is a larger 824-piece playset with multiple figures and game-accurate details. You can pick up this set for $72.51 (was $86).
Speaking of post-apocalyptic TV series based on video games that have received good reviews, The Last of Us Season 2 releases on 4K Blu-ray on September 23. The Limited Edition Steelbook is still available to preorder, and Amazon has dropped the price from $47 to $35.
