I have not seen anyone say which region: It's region "all"?

One of ricster's photos above is of the J-card. No regions specified and it's a Universal release so it's pretty much certainly region-free

That doesn't drive you crazy?

I can't see anything printed on the j card or disc that specifies region codes.. nothing, no only B, no all region ABC, nothing. As they haven't printed it I can only assume its region free, sorry I can't check as I don't have a region A player but I'll bet there wouldn't be a problem playing this disc anywhere.

Ps. This steelbook looks a little better in hand than in pics, almost cancelled this but didnt have the film on blu ray so it was worth it.. I really like the inside artwork.

What is wrong with it?

I wondered that too.. is it that it says twelve monkeys instead of 12 monkeys maybe?? If so, it bothers me too lol

Rule 1

Spell out single-digit whole numbers. Use numerals for numbers greater than nine.

Examples:
I want five copies.
I want 10 copies.

A good rule, but art doesn't always follow grammar rules

The original title in the film's opening credits is "Twelve Monkeys". And most (if not all) UK Blu-ray/DVD releases have had exactly that title.

In the U.S. it's "12 Monkeys," official posters & BR/DVD. I guess that's where the confusion over the name comes from.

No, it's that the debossing doesn't line up with the print.

Thanks.. went back to the pic and zoomed in (viewed it originally on my phone so it was a small pic and I didn't see the just how out the print was).

I thought you were referring to the half circle mark left by the j-card sticker. That drives me nuts...

 

[Geek Tragedy]

No, it's that the debossing doesn't line up with the print.

Normally that would bother me but for this design it kinda adds something.

Mine arrived today and it's got some pretty nasty scratches. The ones on the back I can almost live with, but there's on right over the 12 Monkeys symbol in Bruce Willis' eye.

Zavvi were on a roll too with stuff arriving in absolutely perfect condition.

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed by the pics, but I think this is one which works a lot better seeing it for real.

 

[NinjaFeetz]

This being completely glossy with the logo on the back being embossed would have been its saving grace from looking like a bargain bin steelbook.

Agreed, while not perfect, it's quality surprised me. Inside art could have been better, but overall not bad at all.

It's "ok" nothing special. But not awful either
