I'll also go with the Raid. I thought it was a very nice steelbook.

 

[Noodles]

So many fantastic steelbooks listed... I'm going to have to have a think about it and come back to cast my vote. One thing I do know is that it'll most likely be one from the UK.

Jaws UK was nominated?

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I voted for the Raid because i loved the exclusive art and the debossing was just superb!

 

[stinkofdefeat]

I voted for Terminator UK because of debossed border, embossed title, awesome artwork, HDN voted inner artwork, and classic film.

 

[Drum18]

The Raid & The Terminator are one of the best steels by Play.com

The Raid was the most excited I had got over a steelbook for a long time if not ever. I couldn't stop stroking it, feeling the debossing, and just staring at it in awe. It gets my vote. But I also had to put a shout out to Iron Man and The Terminator.

 

[Steelknight47]

Jaws UK was nominated?

To each his own I guess.

 

[blumaster]

I'm now under the assumption it was a misprint and was supposed to be Jaws JP.

I voted Raid & Terminator. Would've went Jaws JP if it was an option.

Not many Asian nominations at all, I am perplexed. I will do a nomination and a winner Oscar style . I don't think you can go wrong with any of the following:

- Dark Knight (JP) the best out of the JP white wave that started my white steel craze
- Drive (UK) something about black and pink gets me every time and it reminds me of GTA: Vice City (if only it had inside art)
- Battle Royale (UK) clean and perfect debossing that feels very cool when you run your fingers through it
- Iron Man (UK) it's the remake that can't ever live up to the original like if they were going to remake The Godfather.

And the winner is:

- The Raid (UK) original art work which can only be matched by Sucker Punch (USA) except The Raid is G2. It takes the cake though with it's over the top debossing front and back. It's like a director who wanted a mellow performance from your actor but they give you something that's way over the top. I wasn't asking for that but now that I've seen it, I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish we had more steel designs done by dedicated artists like this one.

Battle Royale and The Raid for me!...But I wish we coul have done that minus 1/plus one everyday game! (please!)...that ws really fun and at the end Thor prevailed last year!
Mods, are we doing that again?

 

[Wootball]

I voted for Terminator UK because of debossed border, embossed title, awesome artwork, HDN voted inner artwork, and classic film.

Exactly this. The Raid (even though I want it) bores me to tears. It's just debossed manga.

 

[knarz]

i voted for The Raid!

 

[thefly]

Terminator for me. Can't ignore the fact that HDN got to choose the interior artwork.

 

[Twizted328i]

Yep terminator for me also artwork is just amazing and the film is just legendary an all time classic!

 

[PunkNinja]

The Raid (U.K.) is one of a kind.

 

[Hooch]

Yes, some elementary ones...but at the moment I am alone in ranking The Thing (FR) as one of the beauties.
