Im so in for these!!

Art by Ralph Steadman again so should be the same as the German release.

Alternatively, you can get the entire Steelbook series plus a nice box from the Netherlands, for £102.00 delivered (at current exchange rates - as the cost is 129.47 Euros inc P&P) which includes track & trace shipping to UK - currently cheaper than getting the individual steels from Zavvi.

A great series, but an easy pass for me as I don't like the artwork, plus it's on Netflix.

Yep, same as German/Netherlands releases - means they should look like this:

Series 1:

All Steelbooks (box not included when ordering individual Steelbooks):

If these are the same as the German release, it just goes to show what rip off merchants Zavvi actually are, that's quite a substantial price difference.

 

[Marco86]

Much more expensive than the German editions. Easy pass

 

[pdbluray]

167.94 for all 6.

Considering I got the barrel for a lot less than that (I think).

Def easy peasy pass for me.

Am I the only one that really doesn't like this artwork?

Nope, I'm definitely not a fan of it. If I was going to buy the series I'd get the Amarays over this any day of the week.

Only the parents of the 5 year old that designed them is gonna like this, who's idea was this to draw these god awful pictures and stick them on one of the most successful TV shows in recent times

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Hopefully there is a steelbook collection of all of the series in the UK which turns out cheaper, because thisis way overpriced imo... Great to see a UK release though

 

[snooloui]

The price probably isn't final, I wouldn't be surprised if it drops to £19.99 when it goes live.

 

[hayemaker]

So they finally decide to do Breaking Bad on steelbook and everywhere is going with this terrible artwork. What a shame.

 

[pdbluray]

Am I the only one that really doesn't like this artwork?

think it's the opposite.

 

[howarmat]

stinking with German editions at this rate. Price is just way more thru zavvi

 

[MrBMT]

The price probably isn't final, I wouldn't be surprised if it drops to £19.99 when it goes live.

Even if that were the case, it'd still be £17.94 cheaper to get the complete series steelbook box set from the Netherlands if you were after all of them (and you also get the outer box that you don't with individual steels that way).

Plus considering most of the individual breaking bad season box sets on bluray are £18.79 from Zavvi, I'm not convinced they'd drop the price that much.

The only thing I like less than the artwork, is the show itself!

They did, the price is now £19.99

Nice, that's definitely more reasonable when compared to the Amarays - shame they didn't put the price of the Amaray seasons down while they were at it!

 

[Flloydo]

Still a lot of money plus I already own the barrel. I wonder what the print run is. If these were around for a while and dropped even more then I would jump on them.
