The Raid cover is just as bad as the rest IMO. It's red silhouettes against a white background.
You would have to pay ME to even keep these things in my house... Awful, awful, awful.
(And I was PSYCHED to have a STRIPES steel....). The makers of the this wave, the iconic art collection, and Universal's 'comic panel' collection should not only be fired, they should have to spend the rest of their lives only making the artwork for Chipotle bags and McDonald's Happy Meal Boxes. (And it would serve them right for passing the buck and having their 5 year old kids create the artwork)....

*UPDATE: I believe this is the Sony THE RAID art. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

Are we going to get digital copies with these, that would make it that much more tempting.

Group buy open, for those that are interested.

You're welcome

 

[mllNY]

@dfoles sorry about that, thank you for finding the back cover art! Sorry it has been a long day
@snooloui you are no longer thanked for that, but you are thanked for creating the individual threads

I don't think I have ever seen digital codes on re-re releases

The only ones I recall with the digital copies have been Universal Reel Heroes steelbook releases.

You are correct. I forgot all about those

 

[sirdizzy]

Thats what I hate about the re-relases is I want my digital copy as well, I mean your getting me to buy the movie again the least you could do is give me a digital copy. I don't mind the lack of interior art we don't seem to get with these as much as the lack of the digital copies.

Besides the real heroes line also that line that came out with the fast and furious steels (all the fast and furious had digital copies as well) had digital copies kill bills, total recall, apocalypse now, T2, stargate, pul[ fiction. We also got digital copies on last Christmas' steels elf, scrooged and a christmas story. Also the Target Bournes had digital copies

So its clear we can have re-releases and still get digital copies, I wish the studios would stop screwing us on them.

Do they have inside artwork?

 

[Wreck]

not sure.

 

[jaws finatic]

there are a couple titles there that interest me, but i guess i'm kind of lost on the steel art of those titles.

 

[lolwut]

these are all matte.

I was going to get Das Boot and Kung Fu Hustle, now I'm not so sure. They'd have to be a quality matte, not a dull streaky one for me to buy.

Did some more snooping:

 

[Wreck]

kinda neat they got their sigs on there ( artists)
