That's a shame. Would have made a nice looking steel.

Hopefully it's just a mistake. Whilst I'm not too interested in this film, I don't want to see this as the start of a new Metalpak trend in the UK

Is it not the same thing?

Nope, they are two different types of metal packaging. The main difference is that Metalpaks don't have spines, you just have hinges instead. They look terrible in my opinion.

Imagine if this was ....

The Life And Death of Colonel Sanders.

I'd love to get this. I love Powell-Pressburger films.

 

[snooloui]

I'm not convinced that this will be a metalpak. HMV are still stating that this is a steelbook. Any chance that this can be moved back to the steelbook forum until it's confirmed? This thread has died since it was moved here, if anything a title like this needs all the exposure it can get.

Time to un-whack the order...Now listed as Metalpak

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp - Restoration Edition Metalpak (Blu-ray + DVD) [1943]

Amazon turn to list it as a Steelbook...

Amazon is messing with our steelheads

Yeah, revert back to Steelbook and increased the Price: £15.40 now

Looks like a steelbook to me

 

[Hooltra]

On this hi-res pic, it looks really like a Steelbook® !

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

It does looks like a SB and a good one at that! No J-card? Anyways...Still got my order with Amazon...

 

[Fork]

this one is the real deal. not one, but two banners, ratings logos, and plenty of text

 

[hayemaker]

Yep, the dreaded arc-ed double play banner with added maroon banner underneath for good measure. Not for me if it looks like that.

And if we are lucky, no inside artwork.

 

[townterrier]

Wish I'd ordered it when it was £12......doh!

 

[ricster]

Revised artwork. Looks like a jcard now not double play directly onto the steel.

 

[MK50]

That looks WAY BETTER imo!

 

[nekelstal]

Ratings logo is gone! Great

 

[snooloui]

Just noticed this new artwork on Play.com. It looks much better now. Unsure whether i'll keep my pre-order for this though.

 

[Noodles]

Back art is now up on Play...

 

[snooloui]

I have to say that ITV haven't done a bad job with their first set of Steelbooks

 

[hayemaker]

This thread could be mistaken for the Dead zone but this one is released on Monday as well.

I guess the odds aren't good on inside artwork.
