I bloody knew it!! Come on FA show them how it's done!!

Wow no title and no inside art. Very poor. Although I do like the picture on the front and the T2 on the back. Do I cancel? Decisions.

How do you know that there is no inside art?

 

[snooloui]

I think it is safe to say it is the worst Steelbook of the year so far. The front and back artwork is bad and no inside artwork or title on the spine is unforgivable. It looks like it has no embossing either which makes little sense considering the design. It is just a complete disaster.

Can Film Arena save this ? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!!

There are some photos of the steelbook on the previous page.

No need to think: canceled immediately.

 

[Headhunter]

What a lazy assed cash grab. Ugh.

 

[GoDo]

Prize goes to this for the most moddable steelbook.

This is screaming out for a clear slip cover to be made - Title down the side, glow in the dark red eyes on the front and maybe a "Judgement Day" plastered across the T2 on the back.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

Are we sure that the photos are of the finished product and not a prototype?

 

[ChrisIW]

What a piece of garbage. T2 deserves so much better.

 

[Danzigg1979]

This film deserved a better steelbook than this.

No further comment until I have it in-hand except to say that if it replicates that German monstrosity it's going straight back for a refund !

Well, under what reason for the return ?, if it does turn out to be like the German release,and it is highly likely, then it pretty much looks like the mockups on zavvis site, so it looks identical. I'd cancel now rather than wait for the monstrosity to arrive...

As for my impressions of this, and referring to the German pics, It's no surprise, but on the one hand I'm disappointed about the spine and lack of inside art, but on the other, I'm surprised they went to the effort to give it spot glossing on the front and back.

I'll probably keep this, if only to make a matching set with the first Terminator.

Overall, I'm disappointed but not at all surprised, as it looks like were getting exactly what zavvi have advertised....

My old Skynet edition steelbook is much better, and that has a spine slash, and I'm keeping that as well.

The kimchi one IS and will STILL be the best. Don't retailers realise unless they can top a previous design it's not even worthwhile making it !?

Why is this posted here??

It should be in the German thread.

It's like posting a pic of the German Desperado in the Zavvi thread until we know more....

On what grounds can you return it for??

If it's not Zavvis fault, you'll be out of pocket for return postage costs.

It's only to give an idea, a lot of Steelbooks are the same for different countries. Zavvi one may be the same or may be slightly different.

Reason for return is as stated in my early posts which were to the effect that I didn't believe that the actual steelbook would be a replica of the mock-up without the film's full title on the spine and if it was like that it would be going straight back no matter how much I liked the image or how glossy or how embossed/debossed it is and, yes, I know the Zavvi mock-up looks just like the German steelbook. . .

I will not buy this and 'Mocking Jay: Part 1' as neither has the film's title on the spine (although I've seen pictures of 'MJ1' with its title on the spine matching the other two so it's clear that titles can be made up after the manufacturing process).

As I believed the 'MJ1' spine was a manufacturing error I didn't believe it possible that the same thing would happen again especially with such an important film as 'T2' - Who gives a stuff about 'MJ1' but 'T2' that's a different matter!

I didn't believe it was possible that a film as special as 'T2' would be treated with such a lack of respect by the company in that they would produce a steelbook for it without the title on the spine although this does suggest that the 'MJ1' title-less spine was deliberate and not a cock-up.
Anyway, shame on you, Studio Canal if this is true.
However, I still won't believe it, despite evidence to the contrary, until I have my copy in front of me as we all know that images can be manipulated.
