Very bland slip. At least Kr put a lighting effect on the title.

Didn't that one have a giant sticker over 25% of the front though or am I thinking of a different release?

Yes it does have that sticker, but it is easily removable. I think this one looks nice. Same style slip as all Fox releases.

I really like the changing shade of blue on the slip from bottom to top.

I also like that it shows the limited to 1500 on the slip. Nice release altogether. I still think the Korean one kicks this one to the curb though.

I notice a faint black line across the front of the steel, and after looking at it closer, I noticed it got longer. Anyone else see this?

 

[Actarus]

it's a 2 disk set like all the steelbook, the blu-ray contains the 3D and blu-ray version and you have the DVD...no extended cut of course you have to get that one and pay more for the other version... they don't give anything for free !

Are you talking about that ?

This is my damaged copy, sent in a simple bubble envelope from amazon. I'm waiting for the replacement copy. I'll see if it has the same defect.

Yes, exactly! So it seems to be a production issue because yours is just like mine, with the black line.

Just checked mine in every light I possibly could and didn't find the same mark.

 

[Jinny]

Checked mine and did not see the same, it was perfectly fine.

 

[darczap]

Good to hear that others are getting it without the black scratch. Hopefully my replacement copy won't have one.

 

[Actarus]

My copy arrived and is Flawless, Perfect in every way, even beautifully shrinked wrapped

 

[Four Seasons]

The price of this has just reached it's lowest point of 3,363 YEN which, if I am not mistaken, is a little less than 19 UK pounds

 

[pmwhelan]

Almost as nice as the HK version

I ordered this one just now.

When I was a kid, I rode my bike to the store to buy baseball cards. As a man, I log onto amazon and buy a Steelbook version of a movie that I already have, from JAPAN. #wow

(and I'm not even THAT old).

Thanks for the info! I've just removed the sticker and can now enjoy the Korean one in its full glory.

Yeah the Korean slip is much nicer because of its simplicity with the Korean title in big font and centered in its own line. The Japanese slip looks too narrow and is cluttered with unnecessary info.

Finally mine

What's the difference between this one and zavvi exclusive one?

What's the difference between this one and zavvi exclusive one?

Almost similar but no embossing. Inside art on this one is amongst the worst. The Zavvi one is better overall.

Is Avatar in the running for the most re-released steel ever?
