Just found a spare Whiplash J-card in a Zavvi box. Must have neglected to return it when I sent back my damaged copy. If anyone has a rip or damage to theirs they're welcome to it for the price of a stamp.

Yeah, and some steelbooks are in the "last few remaining" category for over 8 months and Whiplash just disappears overnight....

Ha yep, true, well almost, they tried to contact the original winner but couldn't so went with the one we have now (which was the one that got more praise here..)

I just wish I knew the full story of why the original winner couldn't be contacted and got pushed to one side...I'm sure it wasn't just the complaints...

Yes I remember and didn't want to get into it, but the reason why the Winner was Disqualified is because of his Artwork was too similar from an Official Artwork from the film. The crooked arm was too similar to an Original Artwork from the Studio so They Disqualified him and passed on to the runner up.

Yes People freaked out as they Loved this Current Artwork much much more, BUT it was not the reason why they changed it, as I mentioned it was too similar looking to an Official Poster Artwork. The Winner was not Pushed aside because of not being able to be contacted, if I remember correctly, it is actually the 2nd runner up (with this current Artwork) that they had difficulty contacting after the ''Disqualification of the Winner''.
So runner up was difficult to Track down.

I thought the winner was disqualified because the estate of Saul Bass threatened to sue for copyright infringement...
