Yesterday's announcement of DIE HARD and MINORITY REPORT steelbooks may come as a surprise considering both were released about a year ago as part of the 10 almost equally unappealing Pop Art steelbook collection.
All I can think is that hardly any of those were sold so they decided back to the drawing board and re-release the UK steel or something fresh in which to put the discs already allocated to the Pop Arts.
Anyway, the Pop Art:-

with front image cut off below the top (shades of Ferris Bueller slipcase).

. . . which of course is no substitute for the release we had in the UK:-

The problem with the UK release is we never got the 3rd matching one... :-(
 
Was that not down to another studio owning the rights to the 3rd one?
Yup... that is/was the reason... but still, the 3 steelbooks were great for #1, #2 and #4, but missing #3 is a deal breaker for me... :(

All matching (with debossing and all):

and then another company:

My concern is, lately Fox released a lot of illustrated artwork Steelbooks: Kingsman 2, Deadpool, War for the Planet of The Apes. I hope they won't continue this trend
 
Yes, the only thing that can be said about this release is that it's better-looking than the Pop Art release of a year ago (by quite a bit) . . . still red backdrop and still silhouette style but this time nice bit of contrast is present with the iconic white vest, the glass shards and the title:-

OK, don't mind the DIE HARD 1 - 4 collection steelbook looking the way it does . . . but for this standalone it would've been nice to have something akin ro the DVD steelbook with more than a nod to this popular poster . . .

...or even the same cover as the Japan 4K release:-
