@Actarus I don't have the Korean copy, but I would assume spot gloss would make it a better looking copy. I could only imagine what this copy could look like if it was full gloss, spot gloss or a better metal finish. It just seems like a plain matte finish which doesn't really bother me. Some people have said in the nova thread that the spot gloss was barely noticeable while others said they are crazy if they can't notice it.
Doesn't matter to me, bottom line is: the one I got says all you need is kill! The kill in red looks way, way better than the red tomorrow.
Definitely glad I cancelled this at this price.
How was the price $58 before shipping if it's 7,333 yen?A lot of people keep mentioning the price and in the steelbook world its like saving pennies..
Nova is 40.99 + 12 ship = $53
Now I paid $58 + $9.50 ship (and $2 gift wrap, not including this)= $67.5
Grand total of $14.5 more. Let's not mention the one day shipping..for $9, thing teleported here from Japan, seriously.
However, it's totally up to you (the collector). I won't buy more than one copy of a steelbook unless its drive (this might change in the future). I hate 3D logos. The quarter slip from nova is cool. Though, I open mine and shove j-cards in a shoebox. Art cards and post cards are overplayed, don't care about these anymore.
Spot gloss with 3D logo vs unique comic book title for $14 more. $14. Not $50.
@Actarus Yeah, I open all of mine. I don't see myself selling my collection. Hell, I still have all my pokemon, yugioh and football/baseball cards sleeved up in my closet from when I was a kid. I'll assume the steelbooks will eventually fade away too and be replaced by another thing that interests me (hope not for a loong time!) I just collect for fun and I like to open them up and look at them every now and then and of course watch the movie
More importantly, all you need is kill is ocd mint and I am happy for that
Mine arrived too! Crappy phone pics to follow. Love the title on it. Would have preferred debossed but I'm glad I got this one...

Since no one will post open pics of this, I'll share mine, few with flash and with out. Not really good at taking epic pics of steelbooks lol

@Blu-devil it seems like a normal matte finish, comparing your pics from the target thread..it seems this one is a little bit better. It says made in Denmark on the back...people seem to flip when steels are made in Denmark. Cookies for that at least? If you have target lone survivor, it is not that bad.
@Actarus I'm glad you opened it up I have no problems or anything with people who keep steelbooks sealed. I totally understand why they do too. and I believe @Ask was referring to the spine being off-center. Judging by his pic, his spine looks to be more to the right. Mine seems to be okay though. If anything, it's a tad to left and that's more ocd then I'm willing to go at the moment lol.
by the Misaligned spine do you mean the hole at top end of the steelbook ? if so both Korean Version have the same hole also, looks similar
