Few better pics of the sealed steel

Anybody got some higher quality pics of these

Hope these help bud

 

[Henke007]

It sure looks better sealed.

 

[humperklonk]

pre-ordered put my old set on e bay to pay for it, out with the old and in with the new.......no extras though!!!

I think the back could be better, but the way I see it, it's better to have a bit of a crappy back than no steel at all! I think we as collectors, sometimes forget distribution and film company's don't see things the way we do!

At leased we have a steel in stead of a ****** blue Amray case, with a nice back cover We still have the HDN Terminator steel to look forward to. This is gonna be a good year for steels in the UK!

Damn right!

I like it so far, I need it in my hands now

 

[Alienkidmj12]

i thought id have it by now grrrr i got my tinker tailer instead, was expecting aliens

 

[SaberTooth]

guys.....

Got my 6 copies today and maybe its because it came with the amazing looking Predator SB, or maybe its because i've been spoiled by my Akira steelbook, but i gotta be honest and say i'm disappointed. I might even say that it sucks when considering:

- My original regular 6 Disk Anthology is far more attractive, with better design (front & back) and cool Holographic effects.

- original only cost me £14.

- and of course has the 2 extra discs.

I know my regular AA is not a steel, but i'm seriously thinking about returning the whole lot & keeping my 6 disc set.

 

[elektrokuter]

Man seeing all 4 discs fit in there makes me wish Scanovo figured that out before making UP and Monsters Inc Jumbo Steels.

But this looks pretty sweet!

 

[digitalbabe]

Hey Saber-sorry to hear you are disappointed-definitely keep the edition that makes you happiest. The Alien Steel was always going to be 4 discs only, but good luck with your decision!

 

[policenauts]

Is box really have only English as wrote on the back ?
Someone can look at the menu to check if French Sub are at least present.
Thanks.

Hi mate just checked they have only English language for all 4 films! And all english subs for hard of hearing! Hope this helps.

[bigrob]

it's not bad actually

the only downside (and the reason why i didn't get it) was the missing bonus discs

 

[DK06CTR]

Got mine today and quite like it, even better now I've booked my 3d Prometheus tickets for tonight!!

 

[Alienkidmj12]

i love it actually, ive got the extra disks in another pack somewhere anyway

Thanks. It's not really so much about the number of discs, its the overall quality ....i was expecting something special like My 6 disc Digipack: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B003AQBYUG/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all

This steel book seems kinda average. Not bad, but more importantly, not SPECIAL

Spoiler

ok now i'm having second thoughts ....mine are all still sealed

 

[Ashcroft]

I hope after this that Scanavo change all their steelbook interiors, and completely scrap having discs held on the left side of the case, except for 4 disc versions. They could just make all 1 disc versions include the holders for the swing tray, then use the 1 disc case, & add a 1 or 2 disc swing tray for 2 and 3 disc versions. Then of course, sell the swing trays separately as well. It would make adding or removing discs a breeze.

 

[Noodles]

While this isn't the best one from the wave, I still really like it!

Will also be keeping my 6-disc set though.

Alien 3 and R go in this 4 disc version along with the 2 bonus discs, and Alien and Aliens are going in the separate German steels.

If Prometheus doesn't get a steelbook, I'll be chucking R and putting Prometheus in its place.

I got mine today, im happy with it. I think it looks better in person than on pics.
