Fair play to those who have ordered this, but am not one of those who have as i can't bring my self to buy this based on the fact that it would just look odd in the collection imo, awesome film though

Odd in what way sorry? A lot of the Disney steelbooks don't match in terms of finishes, things like borders etc- other than the lenti magnet (which I have no intention on keeping on the steelbook) think this would sit fairly well with the others in the Disney collection. Shame about the back art though!

My biggest bug bear is the films with no titles on the spine, to the point that it's a deal breaker for me- no title, no spine.

Because of this, I have anomalies in my collection like the blufans/Kimchi versions of Zootopia, Frozen, Inside Out as they were the only options I had of having films with titles on the spine in my collection at the time. However, this then presented the issue that these editions are the all singing, all dancing versions complete with slipcases and extras. As much as I love these packages, they stand out on my shelves compared to 'normal' steels. I get far too obsessive with things like this!!

I'm also debating selling my Blufans Frozen steelbook (truth be told, I love the whole package but the steelbook itself is disappointing) and getting the recent lenticular Zavvi version- Normal steelbook, title on spine- Job done.

Also want to see how this turns out but I bet now this one turns out full gloss, embossed and a great lenti lol

I think he means because this is the only "new release" out the current lenti editons and many of us have not bothered with the re releases so it will stick out just having a lenti magnet unlike the rest of the Disney collection

Also although the rest of the actual proper collection is matte and gloss I assume this will have no embossing so it sticks out in that sense too

Of course you can still place the lenti inside the steel like I have done with the marvel ones I own with shocking lentis but I think that's what he means

I'm still up for this and I'll prob put the lenti inside but I've had to cancel for now - had no choice

Pretty much hit the nail on the head where am coming from @Flloydo , because i keep mine sealed and in scf1 putting the lenti inside is no go for me, be cool if zavvi forgot to put the lenti on and it was embossed etc lol

I almost begrudgingly kept my order- To say I'm irked with the lazy back art is an understatement, but needed to add this to the collection; haven't seen it in years either so will be nice to (hopefully) be reminded just how good this film was.

In terms of the steelbook- I'm not holding out too much hope in terms of a 10/10 job on the finish or any extra love given to it, but as long as it's passable I'm sure I'll forgive that once I've got my hands on it.

The back still puts me off.

@zavvi this is so lazy man, how can you let this art back. I heard you do feedback and get in touch with them if you feel there's a problem with the design yet no one pointed this out.

You wonder why people would pay more over in the UK to import Blufan steelbooks... *sigh*

Could be Disney's fault. They're notoriously difficult to work with. Fortunately, it seems like @zavvi 's been pushing for some features to be added/changed based on our feedback. I imagine the art used is one of the hardest if not the hardest thing to change once it's been approved. That said, it's hard to imagine how Zavvi even agreed to this design to begin with.

I wasn't forgetting Monday - I was just responding to your comment regarding tomorrow, that's all!

But just in case anyone is wondering, this applies to the whole of the UK:

Opened copy...

Overall, I dig this- the finish is what it is, but the colours are vibrant enough for it to work irrespective of it not being a gloss finish.

The back artwork hasn't irked me as much in person as it did when the steelbook was first unveiled (naturally, would of preferred an alternate image, but I can live with it)
