I checked this site hour ago for a Godzilla steel and totally missed this one, so thanks @Ranavalone for the heads up

3d steelbook with futurepak artwork and no 3D logo, GB please.

This turned out to be a FuturePak after all. Embossing is magnificent! Very appropriate for a Godzilla release

do you know it for sure?

Absolutely, I have it in my hands. Will post a few pics in a bit.

A few pics (phone camera, poor lighting conditions).

While the long mark on the front cover isn't a scratch - just some residue that comes off easily - I can see a few hairline scratches on both copies I picked up. So, not too impressed with the quality control. Need to venture out for another visit to the store to see how the rest of the stock looks.

Gloss finish, impressive embossing on both covers

 

[Ranavalone]

Went to exchange my copies. In the end, I visited both local Gigantti stores and went through their stock (ca. 20-25 each). Many Futurepaks had small or tiny scratches (I confess, I have the OCD bug).

The embossing frame of Steelbooks is definitely there for a reason; as embossing is really pronounced on Godzilla, almost each copy had already slightly worn shrinkwrap on the lower left area on the front (approx. an inch in from both edges), and in the other store the Futurepaks were straight out of the shipping carton, as they hadn't put them on the shelves yet when I went there.

Imagine how the most heavily embossed parts will look after a week or two of shelf life and browsing by potential buyers. This Futurepak presents a real challenge for the retail chain regarding transportation and storage, and I'm afraid they are not very well prepared for it, if at all

But that embossing! Awesome!

Just got my copy, little bit disappointed that this turned out to be a futurepak, but it looks awesome and the price tag was fair

My feelings exactly. I seem to be able to ignore the FuturePakness of it; the total product is just so ... great - especially considering the price for a new 3D/2D release!

Great pictures, Pearse! They really bring out the gloss finish and the embossing The covers still seem to be wet!

Yeah, I'm well happy with this. It blows the boring 'red' Steelbook release out of the water!

Thanks for helping me with this one Jyrki

Looks in a lot better condition than the US ones - cant see scratches etc?

Let me put it this way - finding near mint copies was a challenge. But I enjoy a challenge

I would've liked to create a GB thread for this, but I soon realized that finding more than a few good copies could turn out to be very difficult.

Do you think you can find any more near mint copies? Would love one if you can!

Makes me feel a bit better at least
