watched it yesterday! to me it was boring, i was really eager to go see it because Gillermo del Toro was involved but....saved some money here, i like the steel...but not enough to buy it...

Blue banner is gone, but still too pricey. Will wait till it's around the £18 or less mark before buying

Love the art!

 

[BluSteel2012]

This looks great. Hopefully they go all out and give it a full gloss finish

 

[prophecygirl]

Can't wait for this, looks great!

 

[Noodles]

Love the art and those colours... not 100% sure about the gold though. Looks great overall!

 

[JJEZ225]

That looks fabulous. I'll keep order open for now, but I'm really hoping for a sweet Korean full slip release.

Nice colors on this one

 

[Flloydo]

I like the back but not so much the front. I'll wait for in hand photos.
Could turn out really nice

 

[lolwut]

Very nice!

 

[RepoMan90]

That looks beautiful and those colours really pop, especially on the back. And this steel is being done by Universal who have a pretty good track record with EX_Machina, Lucy, The Wolf of Wall Street and all the Jurassic Park films all having excellent steelbooks. So fingers crossed the trend continues here and we see something pretty special.

 

[Mikaelson]

Looking very good but I will wait for the price to drop to get this one.

 

[Punker76]

Yeah, looks nice but saw the film.... Plot was wafer thin and the film dragged so I've cancelled.

Dont forget 47 Ronin. That was a stunner

There's just something not right with that front art. Can't quite figure out what though

I would guess the blu banner is part of the j-card. I can’t remember the last time I've seen a permanent blue banner on a UK or WWA steelbook.

Glancing through my U.K. steelbooks the most recent I can spot with a blue banner is the Zavvi 1-disc STAR TREK XI (White Edition) reissue from May 2013 of the Play.com original 3-discer from November 2009.
Before that the HMV Exclusive WAR HORSE from May 2012 and I can see a fair few before that (easily spotted as arranged by release dates).

Expensive for a listed 1 disc steelbook, despite the interesting stylised artwork, though Zavvi's mock-up clearly shows a 2 disc hub . . .

TBH I would rather spend this amount of over 20 quid on two catalogue titles in steelbook @GBP 9.99 each such "Crimson Tide" and "Dante's Peak" if I had the choice despite being a fan of most of the stuff he's been involved with as producer, in particularly "Julia's Eyes" and "The Orphanage", and to a lesser extent the films he has directed himself.

Anyway, it's academic ATM as showing "Zavvi Sold out" - got to say that 3,000 copies sold at 23 quid each would be a stretch of the imagination and maybe another case for suspension of disbelief.
Don't see this as another "Under the Skin" with its 2,000 print run . . .
