Another pics :scat:

I actually quite like the look of that. I've never owned or held a jumbo before :)naughty:), so for that reason alone I'm tempted to put in an order just to lose my jumbo virginity. :p

Will probably wait until the price drops though, which it no doubt will!

Thanks for the pictures Marty. By the way, if you don't mind me asking... how are you getting all these steels so early?

Despite the fact there is no rear artwork, I still think this is a gorgeously understated Steelbook. I am so glade that they went with the silver embossing. This will be one of my faves. I can well believe that this one looks even better in person.
Also, by the time I have it slimmed down (have 8 spare frames) and add some decent inside art, this will look the dogs bollocks.

I like the look of it but I still much prefer the French one which is a normal/slim size steelbook AND with the awesome silver banner, UK copied them.

I have managed to place an order at HMV with the discount but I'm really thinking of cancelling it now, decisions.
 
I don't know what it is but this case looks really sophisticated and clean. I have already per ordered this steel and will be placing it between my Batman Begins + Dark Knight steels that are on its way from Japan as we speak.
 
spine from the french and you got a perfect English TDK/BB steel ;) :naughty:

Question is tho, is this cheap embossing or old school deep/hard like embossing. Cause the French one actually had hard embossing like old school. (which is so much better then embossing they use 90% of the time now)


I can promise you that' an original steelbook, not a custom or fake. ;)
 
I don't think Wreck was saying that this is a fake, just asking if the embosing is hard or if it has a lot of flex like the newer releases (Captain America, cowboys & Aliens UK etc)

The French one is much sexier and cooler than this and I have that exact display you have in mind ;)

That is awesome! I'm gonna hold out for a trilogy steel and also a separate TDKR to complete my collection. I just can't justify getting this when it includes only 2 of the 3 films, even though I really like the front art.
 
I agree with ^^^

Thats the biggest reason Im not getting this. With the third coming and if this was a trilogy steel released later despite the no back and inside art I would have gotten it as the cover is really nice.
