Got mine today, not the greatest fan of the film but the completist in me had to get it. I think that it looks great alongside the real two films 
Just arrived now in the Saturday morning (!) post! (yep, that's right, my Saturday morning delivery has arrived at 3:40pm this afternoon. Still, at least it's earlier than the 6:30pm delivery I had earlier in the week!)...So did you receive it yet??

Thanks for the pics. I own those Steels of the originals and was curious what they looked like together.
Now if only they'd made a film that looks great alongside the real two films
Genuinely cant decide if this or BvS: DoJ was my most hated film of the year.
Cant blame ya on completing the set tho buddy. Personally I've no desire to ever watch this again, but then again own all The Terminator films on Steel. And I absolutely despise the last few.
Got mine, really nice steelbook, lovely finish and looks great next to the other two on the shelf. The magnet however...what on earth were they thinking?! I assumed it would be done in the same vein as the Game of Thrones steels with the delicate and beautifully designed resin sigils, and it would sit in a debossed area on the front.
So when I opened this and found it's a giant super thick rubber magnet (think a giant fridge magnet for kids) i was a bit shocked. It just feels a bit pointless I guess. Not knocking the steelbook itself, that's lush, but for the price of including the magnet I woulda rather had the 3D disc. Went for this one as the other ones artwork (with the 3D disc) just isn't my cup of tea.

Recieved mine today with some light scratches on the back and front but its only for display so im not too fussed, the zavvi steel is the one im going to be using, here is a few pics of my display 
i bought this today in HMV. it has a nice big magnet on it. the guy in the store said it was rare as they only had 2 delivered to the store. i got the last one
Looks OK with the previous 2 - which look much better than the new one (particularly the back art) - and it's a toss-up as to which is the "better" set but the Project Pop Art set wins if for me personally because of:-
a) the more original artwork on all three by the same renowned artist (Dan Mumford).
and
b) for the 3D disc in the 2016 edition.
and
c) for the re-mastered disc for the original film (original steel contain the less than perfect PQ 2009 discs)
That being said both sets are Gold Medal winners
Both steelbook collections casually compared.

That makes sense. Post edited.
P.S. Available also from HMV

Actually warming to this release and good to see that the logo is on the steelbook front under the clunky rubbery (?) magnet and that the logo looks to be embossed (?) instead of how it was *pictured and previously described:-

Received today from amazon.co.uk in a A1 cardboard. I notice that the crap packagings become widespread at amazon.
sorry to bup this one up but i always wanted to buy this steelbook for the special package but not at the price they were asking at release so i waited until i just forgot about it, until a few days back when zavvi had this and the mermaid both for 15 pounds so it was not a brainier to pull the trigger on it, i thought the magnet was something like game of thrones but i can live with it, for 10 bucks i wont have a cow lol
