Thumbs up for the Embossing! Yay!
Thumbs down for the big dent on the front.

I really like this but we didnt have anything similar for First Class nor DoFP. And i dont really want to look around and import from another country. I'm thinking of just picking up the trilogy steelbook later.

 

[tono06]

i knew it! here is the bossed one....

I like NA's better. As nice as glossy can be, it's also a big fingerprint magnet (for those who actually open their movies).

Hum... love the embossing... BUT... I'm more a Full Gloss addict! Feels like the colors are always more vibrant, more pleasant to the eye...

But the real question is WHY not embossing + Full Gloss ???? WHY????

because it's NA..how rare do we get glossy+'bossing?

@rj531

BOSS > GLOSS. Every time.
but GLOSS + BOSS = BEST
BOSS + SPOT GLOSS = BROKE

@tridon @Drum18 @kaw @rj531 This question is quite entertaining!

I'm just glad to be getting the steel here in the States I'm keeping it sealed so I'm happy that it's embossed!

I like NA's too. Besides the reason Tridon mentioned, i can also gloss it myself so i'll take bossing and matte over gloss. Not to say gloss is bad because full gloss works better with certain kind of arts, but not this one. Spot gloss would be better here...

I got an old fashioned through-the-plastic spine slash(as opposed the the below wrapper ones we've been getting). Good thing I ordered 2.

 

[Actarus]

I placed an order for 3 steels, received all 3 with spine slash ..placed a 2nd order, 2 acceptable ones this time, 3rd copy Huge hole in the shrink wrap...

but what is the deal with so many spine slash ?

what is the deal with so many spine slash ?

If there is no adequate package protection on the top layer of the steelbook shipments in the box - then the top group get the slash when opening.

That is what I thought, but all the spine slash are under the shrink wrap the shrink wrap is not torn and yet the steel has the cut... I thought they were shrink wrapped at Scanavo
