I don't mind people sharing their opinion but the backhanded compliments and ridicule are becoming tiresome. I bought this because I wanted to, not because I missed out on the previous editions, not because I cannot afford the Blufans edition, not because I have inferior knowledge of Steelbooks and don't know any better. I made a conscious decision to go for this one and I assume many others have done the same. I think people should just accept that rather than trying to force their opinions onto others.
I think it's a good looking steelbook (without the lenti) and im very happy I sold my cassette version for it. I got £25 on ebay so it didn't really cost me to change neither. It's obviously not as good as blufans but definitely better than the cassette version in my opinion
Personally I welcome these 8 - formerly 2 lenti steelbooks out of 700 odd in my collection was a bit pathetic . . .
In a week or so it will be a grand total of 10 (LOL) making a tad more than 1% of my collection is lenti steelbooks.
And that the great part about have a mind that you can make decisions and opinions about it. Don't like them, don't buy from them.When did Zavvi ever learn from their mistakes? They make a mistake and then they correct that mistake with another, even bigger, mistake.
Zavvi, Zavvi, we loathe thee so
True, but now and maybe more so in the future steelbooks with lenticular magnets will play a bigger role?
Hopefully the lentis will keep on getting better and better until they are just as good as anything from S. Korea or indeed from anywhere else and I think most reasonable and reasoning people here (and there are maybe a few of those) will agree that the majority of these new lentis are a million times better than the previous "Avengers Assemble".
Yes, it's a fair number of steels, but having started from the very first one (Play.com's exclusive "Sweeney Todd" with booklet) I just couldn't stop and it became quite addictive so whenever they came out I bought them.
Thankfully, after contributing here for the past year or so and reading posts from some of the smarter members, I've been more cautious and now tend not to jump on them at pre-order when first 'live' though there are exceptions when I don't wait . . .

I think Zavvi did the lentis to possibly compete with Asia, Czech and Germany lol imagine that if they did.
I can't see Zavvi pushing them for except the marvel re runs (so the next antman and age of ultron and so on)
We will most likely see the odd release with a lenti (like the new hunger games collection) but the last one was life of pi for the uk and can't see studios going crazy with them in the future but saying that a lot of standard blu Rays gets a lenti slip and some are done really well.
I personally think some of these are on par with avengers assemble lenti and some are a bit better

True i was in HMV today and was checking out the lentis, most of them are really nice for depth. I particularly liked Terminator Genisys.

Yes, that's a very nice one though spoiled ever so slightly for me by the banner header.True i was in HMV today and was checking out the lentis, most of them are really nice for depth. I particularly liked Terminator Genisys.

Without the lenticular it's a pretty solid steelbook nice title embossing with a cool art concept basing the theme around the prison. That theme is carried over to the interior with the infamous line up picture! All in all a very good effort but as usual zavvi sabotage it by putting a totally ridiculous lenticular on it!Lol
I dread to think
It don't look to bad on the fridge tho!WOW, just received today. I thought that you people are a little harsh when you said that the lenticular is bad, but OMG it is awful.
