Finally received mine from Amazon today. It was in mint condition, no spine slashes.

great pq!!
a lot of eighties films have a tendency to not age too well. certainly not the case with this movie!!

My copy finally arrived today (I think it must have traveled on a boat). And although the artwork has been criticised, it is a lovely steelbook. I've added some photos in case anyone that wasn't interested is tempted.

A bonus, the disc is region free!

Mine arrived yesterday as well. It's a great looking steel book, I love the back especially. I was very, very impressed with how good the movie looked when I popped it in. I couldn't believe it! It looks fantastic. When they cut to the news segments it looks dated but other than that the steel is perfection. The remake/reboot doesn't compare at all to the classic. It makes me so glad to have this steel in my possession.

After a bit of advice from those that have this steelbook if possible please?

I bought the original release steelbook but really want the new transfer. Do you think it is worth buying this remastered steelbook to replace the original or am I better off just buying the standard blu-ray packaging and perhaps put the disc in the first release?

I'd say keep your original and swap the disk if it doesn't cost too much. As much as I like the look of the remastered one, it suits the tone more for the remake whereas the original steel suits the original

Ordered. At just over £10 it's a bargain. Will probably sell the first release steelbook. I prefer the art on this release (well everything but the logo)

That is a great price, thanks for the heads up Snoo!
