hopped on the band wagon and cancelled, just not worth it,
£18 for a poo steelbook and 17 mins no thanks,

Cancelled

I like the look of the steel and would have liked to see this different cut but if you bought first steelbook it's just a rip off for 17 mins extra, I hate when they do that and basically penalise loyal fans who buy early release

 

[nefilim]

ugly. yes.

but still keeping my order in. one more marvel steel.

haters hate. lovers love.

If we didn't own the first one then wouldn't have jumped at this

Have they used the same image of Rogue twice? Front cover and inside?
I've got my eyes on the standard amaray release, it'll go down in price soon enough.

Good spot mate especially amongst all the other badly placed images that are plastered everywhere.

This is listed on tesco direct. Surely a mistake as the picture is clearly a steelbook.

Tesco have also sold steelbooks in the past.

I bought Wolf of Wall Street steelbook from Tesco direct in December. Whilst it's not listed as a steelbook I wouldn't rule it out entirely. Perhaps fire off an email and ask them.

Like the colour scheme and certainly prefer it to the red but wonder what's the situation regarding the figures on the front - will they be embossed or flat as a pancake?

If it's a Zavvi exclusive, which it is, I doubt very much that it will be available anywhere else.

As Zavvi is the U.K. 'home of steelbooks' more than a few end up there that were originally listed as Amazon or HMV or Entertainment Store exclusives - I imagine because the original retailer could not shift stock either because they stubbornly refused to lower prices or for some other reason.

I don't think I've seen it the other way around, though I stand to be corrected.

I paid 12.5 euros preordering the French version but that was long ago. You have to pay 14 pounds for the Amaray so if you have a copy on preorder from Zavvi for 18 you might as well keep it, the SB is sold out at Amazon U.K, Italy, Kimichi, Novamedia, and everywhere else as far as I know despite how terrible the art is.
It's the best of all the X-Men movies IMO and unless your happy with a one time rental I don't see an alternative at this point?

 

[C.C. 95]

Yeah- I bought some lenti magnets to slap on that...pretty ugly.

A lot of the time the exclusivity deal runs out. They have exclusive rights for 6 months or a certain period of time and after that other retailers can sell it if there is stock left.

It might end up with the title upside down on the spine like in the picture. The original DoFP had the title in French too, but then, the mock-up had French text which The Rogue Cut doesn't.

Still, it might be identical to the Zavvi version.

I wonder if it will be a matte finish like the new X-men steelbooks released in May.

It's Fox, you can probably count on it.

Their recent output has been matte, recent examples like Taken 3, Elektra, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Wolverine and indeed the first release for DoFP. Matte is their default setting. I can only think of Brazil, AvP and AvP2 that are recent(ish) gloss releases.

Orginal DoFP HMV was gloss @tenderheartbear

Really? Well, knock me down with a feather.

I bought the Czech version and that was matte. And jolly lovely it is too.
