I'm just waiting on confirmation for the finish used before I take the plunge.

It’s the WELCOME346 link and the code is DEZ12.

You must use zavvi.de and be quick...usually the code doesn't work that long.

Hope they redo the 1st steel with art that follows this

Happy with this
Smooth matte finish with spot gloss on title and cast names. Metallic highlights on guns.

Looks pretty good. Now why oh why didn't they just release all 3 films around the same time with the same style. I'd love to get this but there's no guarantee they'll do the other two.

This one looks as good as the first one looks awful

Different film distributors is why
Steelbook already done for Austin Powers International Man of Mystery

Steelbooks releases are decided by the film distributors and also the artwork design not Zavvi

UK
Austin Powers International Man of Mystery distribution is with Three Wolves Ltd
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me distribution is with Warner (Was previously EIV)
Austin Powers: Goldmember distribution is with EVI but it's possible it might return to Warner

Yeah and it was crap. See this is what I mean, who wants steelbooks from different studios that all look completely different? There's no really no point in even releasing this if you ask me.

Jeez, at least wait until someone actually mentions Zavvi before you leap in with your standard copy & paste defence on their behalf

Looks really good in this unboxing with its glossy title and other strategically placed glossy bits . . . metallic reflections can also be seen in this excellent German-language unboxing.

A perfect example of a steelbook with a raised title that does away with the friggin' framing border . . . which so happens to be the main downer for me on the recent otherwise lovely LOST IN TRANSLATION steelbook with its unnecessary framing border cutting down through Scarlett's face.
I say leave framing borders for embossed artwork only . . .

I would be interested in this but just wondering, is Zavvi known for any good Boxing Day sales? I might want to bundle a few things

There is no raised title.
Steel is FLAT as a pancake

I'm glad steelbooks don't have raised title without the border. I don't want my embossing to scratch another steelbook or get crush being place on the shelf with other steelbooks

Oh, OK, very good, thank you for that.
Looks raised and should have been raised . . . like these below . . .

FYI some do . . . and not just but also raised artwork.
Just a few examples of the art of creative embossing without the use of a framing border:-
