Amazon UK back available
Amazon product

I did have this on pre order but cancelled
The reason is I already have the 20th anniversary DigiBook release that has the exact same booklet you get in the Fabelo StoryBook

I went with the 4K+Blu-ray Amaray release instead as that is a lot cheaper in price
Amazon product
I will have delivery of that release on saturday or sunday

The 4K disc aspect ratio is 1.85:1 and picture quality reviews I seen says looks great
The Blu-ray is the existing 20th anniversary disc with aspect ratio 1.78:1

Watched it in the week and yeah, the 4K does indeed look gorgeous!
 
Watched the 4k version last night. It is the best it has ever looked. The picture quality has surpassed all my expectations. They have done a brilliant job on this. Well worth the upgrade. Still unsure about the steelbook, so just bought the 4k and put it in my original steelbook which I really like more than this. Interesting concept, though.
 
I honestly wasn’t going to bother with this but I do like the art, the finish and I’m still bitter about the original zavvi order issue.

This is stunning in hand and as heavy as a mf but I hate that it don’t close or click in. I wanted to see what this style was like in hand and I’m happy to own the one but I don’t think it’s a good idea even though it’s turned out nice. I don’t want to be holding a steel to read a book.

I got the beautiful Fabelo Steelbook in yesterday (UK exclusive).

Talking about the technical specs, the 4K transfer is indeed restored from the original 35 mm camera negative and the ratio has been fixed to 1.85:1 (NOT the 1.78:1 aspect ratio of the 1080p releases) .

What´s more, the english audio on the 4K is a new DTS-HD MA 5.1 track, not the same one from the 20th Anniversary Blu-ray.

The Blu-ray coming with the Fabelo Steelbook is not remastered and the very same disc released in England in early 2022 and Germany in 2020.
