@Noodles Do you have a link handy for @apsmith21's GB?49p can go a long way!
I combine, so it makes sense for me... plus I'd take Andy's superb packaging over Zavvi's any day.
That's just Stout's style. I like the art quite a bit. The only one I've liked better than this is Shaun of the Dead which is also Stout. I'd be happy if every Mondo steel was from Stouts art. Bring on the Stout Star Wars steels!!!While its good to see Mondo Steelbooks getting a UK release, this is an easy pass. Already own the "gasoline can":

and the plain-jane Steelbook from a couple of years ago:
And purely a matter of taste, but the art is a little too "Sleeping Dogs" for my liking:
Finally, I really don't like how Mondo write "Steelbook" on the spine of every title. I think it spoils the overall aesthetic. Each to their own however.

At this time there are no plans to bring titles released already in other areas of the world to the UK. But it all depends on what studios and other parties will allow,so whether this changes, we will have to see. Lots of moving parts with these things. Zavvi is trying to work on exclusive titles, hopefully next year. But none of that is finalized yet.Brand new to Mondo myself, but instant fan !
Few questions though :-
1) Will the others in the collection running around in the wild be corralled and made available to me here in the U.K. ?
2) Is this Region A B ?
3) U.K. j-card ?
Certainly something different to my usual steelbook purchase though does remind me slightly of Jock's artwork for 'The Losers'.
Yes, the studio approves what retailers sells Steelbooks-if they decide to make them (with the same art) available to multiple territories, that is how retailers in different countries get to sell them. This will have a UK disc.Most helpful and logical when put like that - puts my fears to rest that Zavvi are again going to be selling steelbooks designed for other territories as they were doing not that long ago.

The discs are identical to those released by the respective US/Canadian studios/distributors in other (non Mondo Steelbook) formats. It is their decision as to whether or not the disc will be locked to a particular region. Mondo is only responsible for the Steelbook design and have no say in that decision, nor for that matter does the retailer, be it Future Shop, Best Buy or Target.
So, there is no uniformity as to the region coding of the various titles in the Mondo X collection.
However, the following information is confirmed and may be of assistance to you.
#000 "Drive" (eOne Canada) Region A (locked)
#001 "Looper" (eOne Canada) Region A (locked)
#002 "Boyhood" (Mongrel Canada) Region A (locked)
#003 "First Blood" (Mongrel Canada) Region ABC (free)
#004 "Pan's Labyrinth" (eOne Canada) Region ABC (free)
#005 "Dredd" (eOne Canada) Region A (locked)
#006 "Flash Gordon" (Universal USA) Region ABC (free)
#007 "Shaun of the Dead" (Universal USA) Region ABC (free)
#008 "The Thing" (Universal USA) Region ABC (free)
#009 "Terminator 2" (Mongrel Canada) Region ABC (free)
#010 "Ex_Machina" (Mongrel Canada) Region A (locked)
To keep up to date with the region coding of these releases, it's really necessary to cross-check other sites and forums.
@Goonboy I was under the impression the release from Target was Region locked A? Otherwise, like yourself, I would jump ship and opt for @apsmith21's GB over my Zavvi order any day of the week!Andy has informed me that the target release is region free, so you have the choice of the Zavvi or Target. Now then Target cheaper, packaging from Andy, in another league in comparison to Zavvi, mmmmm let me think!!!!
@apsmith21 @Apollon, apologies but please confirm region coding for Target USA's release? Locked "A" or Free? Thank youRegion A per the mock-up below (click for bigger)
And purely a matter of taste, but the art is a little too "Sleeping Dogs" for my liking:
