14 discs in two regular-sized steelbooks
- 7 discs for Seasons 1 & 2
- 7 discs for Seasons 3 & 4
. . . as in 6 stacked in each plus one loose in a pouch?



Mondo style with some of the artwork - and most of the print . .. hopefully - on the clear slip ?

Would have been cool in GAME OF THRONES style packaging x4 also with clear slips.

Two regular steels with 14 discs? :wow:

wonder if the 14 is correct. whats max now in a g2? 6? cant remember if the inner thing had double slots front n back making it 8 disc. Or didnt they just stack dics now on a more protruding spindle. ie. 6 disc and one stack = 7 each. ahhhhhhhhhhhh the wonders of us steelbook nerds.
 
RE: STEELBOOK CAPACITY:-
1) Regular sized steelbooks formerly 4-discs maximum as seen in the U.K. ALIEN ANTHOLOGY steelbook (one disc on each side with a swing tray in the middle to hold the other two).

2) 6-disc steelbook available but looks to me more G1 sized than G2 Blu-ray size (despite the discs being Blu-rays)

3) 6-disc G2 streelbooks recently available. . . thanks to newer style longer spindle . . . and seen on the Korean release of PLANET EARTH for example:-

12 discs max on 4 spindles in 2 steelbooks
 
^ Yup, looks like they've made a mistake regarding the number of discs . . . UNLESS there are 2 discs of previously unreleased Special Features . . .
Not as if they've got the BD listing mixed up with the DVD listing either as the DVD listing has Seasons 1 - 3 as 9 discs (3+3+3).
Season One: 8 episodes + existing extras = 3 x BD-50 discs
Season Two: 10 episodes + existing extras = 3 x BD-50 discs
Season Three: 10 episodes + existing extras = 3 x BD-50 discs
Season Four: 10 episodes + existing extras = 3 x BD-50 discs
 
I see what you mean. I have pre ordered anyway but out of interest, what would you go for? I am thinking maybe something with the ivory pirate ship form the opening credits
Sorry, haven't seen this earlier :bag:
Yeah imagine that ivory thing embossed!
But I'd make a depth lenti with a combo of something like this:

Is the Zavvi version definitely the same as the Amazon version? Zavvi says 13 discs & Amazon says 14 discs plus it £20-£30 dearer at Amazon (my pre-order was at £83)!?

Have Amazon got an exclusive bonus disc like they always do with the Game of Thrones seasons?

Yes, Zavvi showing 13 discs but description reads "13 discs + bonus" (disc?) and they have 14down in the "Product description" with Amazon sticking to14 from the get-go.

I count 13 discs in the Zavvi clip but then again I only see disc hubs on one side of each of the two steelbooks :confused:

As far as I know 12 is the limit for two regular steelbooks (with three on each new style elongated spindle).
Unless 1 or 2 are loose in clear sleeves I'm not getting the arrangement.

Cool artwork effect when placed side-by-side tho :thumbs::thumbs:

. . . and, yes, that Amazon price really took the wind out of my sails when I saw it next to the Zavvi price but hopefully as soon as HMV list it @ £67 Amazon will do what they normally do and follow suit.

Cancelled? As a "pequel" of the Stevenson's Treasure Island novel, I think everything has been completed perfectly, nothing was left unanswered.
