Classic. Not lazy. Go look at the Best Buy cover for Close Encounters, and you'll see where "creative" can end up.I don't hate it, but I don't exactly love it either. It's cool to see they've used original poster art, but that's basically all they've done, so it looks kinda lazy IMO... for a start, I'd probably make the back B&W to match the front. Still, it's better than I expected!
The posters are definitely classic, but just slapping them on a steelbook and calling it a day is pretty lazy... they haven't even attempted to blend them at all, so it looks like a combination of two different steels IMO. I do actually really like the front though, so I may still pick this up.Classic. Not lazy. Go look at the Best Buy cover for Close Encounters, and you'll see where "creative" can end up.
Unless the original one sheet was bad art to begin with, there should always be at least one steelbook with the original poster art.
I agree that the back should have been different though. Perhaps exact same color scheme with action shot of the car.
I've been saying it for years. Put the release poster art on the front, and put the pre release teaser poster art on the back.The posters are definitely classic, but just slapping them on a steelbook and calling it a day is pretty lazy... they haven't even attempted to blend them at all, so it looks like a combination of two different steels IMO.

Probably asked before, but is there any chance for a UK release?
I sure hope this Wave hits the shores of the U.S. and ends up in Best Buy or Target. I like the artwork as I prefer Poster Art to Crapola Art like the CE3K disaster that recently reared it's ugly head.
What I was thinking. Apart from the j card being in German the steelbook would be what you'd get with a UK edition. And as you said shipping from Germany is cheap.any reason you won't just order them from Amazon.de?
They're really cheap even with shipping.. I've got Bullitt and Zodiac on their way to me now.
