not a fan of the rough satin finish, would've been better glossy
Yeah, frankly, I'm very disappointed in this one, the crummy finish ruins any potential for quality there may have been with the variant art, washing out everything interesting about the design. This is the exact opposite of what I expect from Mondo releases. I'm totally fine with no embossing/debossing on their steels, it's refreshing in fact, but you gotta make up for that with finish quality if you're gonna charge premium prices. Here's hoping these next three big releases don't suffer the same fate.
 
If a member is kind enough to offer a free code can whoever takes it please be courteous and reply saying they have used it or at least thank the post. This lets other people know it is used so they aren't trying to redeem it. Thanks.
 
Is the disc region free?

Yes, posted a few pages back.

From the published specifications, it will be the Canadian disc that was released last August by Mongrel.

You'll be pleased to know though, that the Mongrel disc is also the MPEG-4 AVC encode not the earlier VC-1 encode utilised for the Skynet Edition disc.

The Canadian disc is also Region ABC (Free). Seems like a winner.

The above details have been confirmed both here and on blu-ray dot com.
 
I think the regular version is better, the colours help bring out the detail. The booklet is a nice extra though.
