Just had this delivered. Aside from the dent and printing issue running down the front it might just be the worst steelbook I now own considering the card yet again masks the title! Considering it's the most minimal steelbook going you'd think they would take this into consideration when cutting the card. The original smaller sized ones as with WFRR would have been best.
Looks like a classy steelbook!
That looks really nice - looking forward to it arriving
Mine came today also. Actually really like it, the simple debossed title gives a classy touch to the front. Yet to see the film so hope to get some time to soon.
Haven't seen the film but will soon and what a lovely looking Steelbook with a well acclaimed movie inside for £8.44. Top marks for Zavvi and Disney.
You could remove the card if you want to display it otherwise what difference does it make? Unless you keep them sealed of course , just send it back, I think it's a grand design and a terrific movie.
Erm ever heard of people having different opinions and tastes?Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe when I look at this site, 'cos in my world this steelbook looks like a piece of f'ing garbage that no one would touch with a bargepole. I envy you guys over in Earth 2 with your top quality Mr Banks steel as just one example of the ongoing brilliance of your version of Zavvi, where every release has world class art work at affordable prices, and noone has even heard of a ZBox....
Erm ever heard of people having different opinions and tastes?
Well....yeah, that's kind of my point. I just find it strange that everyone seems to think this looks great when to me it looks like a plain, boring P.O.S. I think my little joke went over your head...
From the in-hand pics it actually looks a bit of alright no doubt helped along by the embossed title (my eyes playing tricks on me again ?) in that vibrant shade of red matching the spine and with the shiny metallic shadows.
Looked very unpromising to me in the mock-up but now glad to have included it as one of the eight in the recent offer but not yet dispatched - probably for that very reason . . . lol.
So glad it's not a white steelbook as those shadows appear to contrast well with the dull grey of the background.
Other than the 2 for 18 deal I missed does anyone know if this has dropped below £14.99 in the past? Cheers
The title is debossed.
Just my opinion but I'm really not a fan it seems like I'm one of the only ones
I think it's a massively wasted opertunity.
The debossed title looks good to me and that's about all. The colour of the actual steel isn't too bad but it's just so boring to look at.
Shame really considering muppets and hitchhikers actually turned out really nice when I thought they wouldn't.
I've sent mine back anyway
Oh and the silhouette of poppins and mickey look good but only in the shade and not in direct light (too silvery and bare metal in the light)
@Flloydo - Where were you when I was having a (semi-serious) rant earlier on the page??? So no you're definitely not the only one that didn't like this. We do seem to be in the minority though...
Sorry mate, completely missed it.
Yeah it a shocker and it surprises me that it got a lot of love
(Must just be because me and you have taste lol - incoming grief from everyone else)
Was dissapointed especially after the look of hitchhikers and muppets
Great film though
@Smelly_Pickle i think you will be fine in waiting for a decent price drop. I will get hitchhikers when it's £6.99 or something
Got Hitchhiker for £9 and it's wonderful, love Marvin on the front.
Yeah I gave the design a bit of grief before it was released and then I see pics and I kind of wish I got it in that deal but I have no fear it will be that price or lower next year
