Response from ES about the finish they are going for on this release:

There’s an emboss on the title treatment, gloss varnish on the front, cutting out the characters and a dull varnish covering the back.

The red text and red image on the back is also a pantone red, which should be a bright pillar box red.

ES, the sticker is superb but it needs to be placed at the top of the cover, so as to replicate the old style blue banner.

Do Play ship outside of the UK?

Ive ordered two to ensure i get a mint one for my ocd mind! If the first one i open and unwrap is mint ill sell the other sealed for cost on here

While the price is high, i see the amaray is £18 on Amazon :O blu rays are going up in price automatically now as DVDs are becoming less popular

I'd personally prefer the sticker somewhere else as as not co cover up the art work, either at the top or maybe make the sticker smaller and have it on the spine.

I thought the minimum print run for a steelbook was 4k?

Thats what i was told also maybe it will turn up else where us a exclusive.

Ok, I just had a look at the artwork. It looks average as it is very minimal.

Haha, wow. I find out more mental things about the collectors as each day goes by.

I am sure this will go on forever, the crazy habits of collectors (including myself) will never stop

For anyone wondering when they will be charged for this, I emailed Luke and he responded with the following:

" Hi Richie

We'll be taking payment for this on Monday 17th June - 1 week before release.

Regards,

Luke
Entertainment Store"

I would say pre-order this now as it will be sold out by Friday without a doubt. If you change your mind then you can just cancel - If you don't order it then you won't have this option once it has sold out - which it will!!

They do not take payment upfront.
They just take your card details and do a verification check. I pre-ordered Jack REACHER but on the day, I failed to put money in, so that's how my stupid jack reacher got cancelled!

Just ordered two, one to open and one to keep, have to say I love the art work on this one.

OK I could be hanged for saying this but here goes.

Businesses that offer steel packaging need to charge a premium if they are to stay solvent. Evidenced by the OCD nature of most of us, losses are suffered anytime a return is initiated. Most of us should be happy there are new players like ES in the mix. Even though play never said so I think part of their failure was that prices were too cheap. Good for the consumer but bad for play. Zavvi are charging 50% more for every release. That is awesome considering the premium nature of the product. Good luck to ES in this new venture.

Steelbooks were only a tiny portion of Play's inventory. And as for pricing, play.com were usually more expensive than amazon.uk in most departments.

I have a question for you. - If you're going to charge £27 for a "premium product", why leave out content such as the 3D version of the film?

Surely Premium = Definitive, no?

front artwork is iffy-no 3D and £27-thanks, but no thanks...

Will there be a GB for this?
