Just got an unexpected charge from zavvi this morning, might be for this one.

 

[Flloydo]

Order dispatched

Order dispatched

Yup, same here!

Can't wait for the first in-hand pics of this one.

 

[cooey]

Despatched here too

 

[Noodles]

Really looking forward to receiving this one!

 

[Dano]

Despatched as well. cuz I was starting to go through Mondo withdrawal

Looking at the M.C. Escher-inspired "Crazy Stairs" artwork I was thinking how much nicer it would be if the disc was housed in a tray leaving both sides of the artwork free and without the disc hub/housing getting in the way of said artwork.

Anyway, hope that the U.K. edition will not be slightly darker in places - like "RD" is - when compared to the U.S. edition.

Only have a couple of DB's films on Blu-ray ("The Man Who Fell to Earth" and "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence") so this is definitely one to add to the shopping list.

The U.K. Edition is the only edition (for now) so nothing to compare to regarding darker art like the UK/ US Reservoir dogs problem

Cheers for that.
Didn't realise we were getting all new Mondos instead of recycled already existing Mondos.
I should have checked the Mondo X Master List before posting.

I know that feeling - I was just thinking yesterday, get me a new announcement Mondo!

 

[Jb162009]

wow, i mine has arrived already (dispatched yesterday). Sorry for the crap pics:

Heres one opened:

As for the finish its matte but with a spot gloss on the pictures/lines (as they shine when put into light.) Not a bad finish but definitely isn't one of the better one's we've seen with previous Mondo X steels.

 

[apsmith21]

@Jb162009 any spot gloss on the back or just the front?

thanks for the pictures

 

[Jb162009]

Oops sorry @apsmith21 , back is same as the front. Not 100% sure if its spot gloss now, looks to be more like metallic paint. The details like the picture, lines, logo, bird on back etc.all shine when put into the light.

 

[Noodles]

Some photos I found...

Plenty more photos on Instagram if these aren't enough for you.

Glad to see that rating logo on the front of the slip is also a sticker!

 

[Flloydo]

@apsmith21 no spot gloss I'm afraid.
Just matte with a slight metalic effect.
Unfortunately it's quite dark too

The pics @Noodles has posted are a lot brighter than the steel itself. Especially that last pic



I don't know why I have such bad luck with damaged steels and with Zavvi but I have a couple of chips out the back and some scratches

Going to have to go back for a replacement now

 

[cooey]

Mine arrived today.

A nice addition to the Mondo collection but for me it's by far the 'worst' one yet in terms of art and finish.

 

[Kizza]

Received mine today also. Shame about the Matte finish but overall i like it.

Another one to the collection.

Strange coincidence that the cheapest looking Mondo steelbook is a Zavvi exclusive one.

 

[Travis Bickle]

I don't own all the Mondo Steels but regardless of this being a UK release overall i don't think they are the best quality steelbooks i wonder if it is to do with the transparent covers but i have had 3 Mondo titles with either dents or scratches on the back. I only tend to go for the movies i like but i had to get this because it's David Bowie so fingers crossed this one arrives without damage. @Flloydo sorry you got a damaged one hope you get it sorted buddy
