Spoiler

- Title is not centered (maybe "actual product may vary")
- A missing letter "i", because the designer had a few drinks/whiffs while working on this and thought it was a good idea for the ship to replace the said letter
- Average back artwork (I'm being nice)

But hey, KEYCHAIN!

No more discs since most don't even open their editions

I love when Retailers put effort in making WEA Artwork for the BD Can't wait to see Don't Breathe BD love the ART it adds to the package I find !
I wonder if the regular Amaray has the same art as well

Haven't bought a premium since Oldboy. Finally one worth buying and not another 3rd rate action movie. Will buy this.

The Aliens took the Disc

Just noticed it's missing in the beauty shot does that mean it's cheaper without the Disc

I just got the joke

They should add: May include a BD

They'll probably charge more for the novelty aspect

Can't bring myself to cave in for this one. Looks atrocious to me.

Agree with everything @Apollon said in #241 and I add that the lenti seems average at best.

Definitely sad to see no one else is doing a premium release of this movie, which is one of the best I've seen in 2016.

 

[tonovember]

are we sure that no other premium retailer is doing this movie...? no even any rumors?
because this looks ugly as hell and i'd been looking forward to it for a while....

I'm skipping this edition. Might pick up a standalone steelbook without all the fluff or wait longer in case another retailer decides to dress up the steelbook with a better slip - it wouldn't be a challenge to top this one.

No news yet on that front.

The lenti is practically a duplicate of Gravity...poor effort. Will just have to wait for Hdzeta's WEA or WWA 300 print run. The stand alone steel is more than sufficient for the time being.

I think it's because some people may want to see where the egregious prices come from, and sometimes it's justified by bonus discs or 3D discs... there are none here, it's just one 2D Disc.

13 months ago, Birdman, a new film (WEA steelbook too) with full slip, flip-flop lenti, 36-page booklet, postcards, numbering card, sticker, etc, was 699 CZK.

699 CZK.

Arrival has the same content except for a keychain. I'd be positively surprised if it's 699 CZK like birdman a year ago, but I'd be happy if it's 799 CZK.

I sadly expect it to be overpriced at 899 CZK (or even worse, 999 CZK) bc FA will keep this trend going until we say "no" with our wallets, unless they come back to their senses on their own.

The only thing I really like about that BS is the lenti, which should have either been the steelbook or slip art IMO. The front image of the steel would've made a cool lenti with the smokey circle moving/changing. As it is, it's a pass for me on this one unfortunately.
