If they are going to have the same artwork, preorder will be getting cancelled because the print run will be massive. Two words spring to mind "price drop"
Yes, a complete no-brainer choice (the Zoom exclusive) and on top of that the cheapest of the lot @GBP 22.49 and hopefully with a different image on the magnet to the image above which is not great.
Still favour this design by BLT COMMUNICATIONS with photography by JAIMIE TRUEBLOOD for the lenti - looks interesting with those colours and with some depth should be just fine:-
From the official artwork posters maybe this one inside:-
. . . and this one on the back cover:-
. . . although hopefully they'll use something original instead of any of these (would be my honest opinion).
The only concern that I have with Zoom is their use of padded envelopes for steelbooks - keeping my fingers crossed that by the time this steel is released they will be using more suitable packaging . . .
Fingers crossed its the colourful old school art style shown on the first page
I've ordered from zoom (lenti) and zavvi and if both are Spock I'll cancel and pick a better version or cheaper after a price drop if there is not much choice but would like to get it to complete the collection.
I'm also hoping this is better than into darkness but I won't hold my breathe
@Flash - that one could still be used for the Zoom lenti (which I wouldn't mind)

Anyway, feeling a bit short-changed with the steelbook release for this the third of the re-boots - with only ONE SB this time (OK, two, if you count the lenti stuck on as a separate steel . . . ).
Quite a few steelbook releases for the previous two films and I'm genuinely surprised for #3 . . . and in the 50th Anniversary year of the Original TV Series too ! (I'm not counting the three films in one steelbook edition).
Hoping for a September release to coincide with the first episode broadcast in September 1966.
#1 - STAR TREK XI: 3 disc Play.com from 2009----"Hero" Edition Zavvi 2013 ------"Villain" (Variant) Edition Zavvi 2013--------1 disc re-issue Zavvi 2013 (and that's just in the U.K.):-

#3 - STAR TREK XIII: BEYOND-------------Zoom Exclusive lenti ?????
Giftset available - Amazon Exclusive - with cool model but unfortunately inside only Amaray edition instead of steelbook with different artwork - unlike the Entertainment Store exclusive above - so not interested (especially for the 60 quid current price)
