Missed the bit before about this being "Limited to 1,000" and ordered at full price . . .
(expensive compared to the GBP 12.59 that I paid for the original steelbook in January 2013 and that price was expensive at the time).

Everything in the UK is expensive. Only FA and Asian Steels are super cheap lol.

Get the french one if you can. Identical to the UK one. The only difference is in back at the very bottom where it lists the cast etc and that writing is in French and even then you need a magnifying glass to read it.... I get the French one for 9 euros.....

Appreciate your input but the only Asian steel I'm familiar with is this:-

Dispatched today along with ANT-MAN . . . strange bedfellows.

EDIT 21/10:
Arrived today and very smart it is too although can't say I prefer it to the original poster artwork steelbook release from 2013.
8/10

How do you mean? Ordered mine from Zavvi and the writing is in French

Well I got mine from amazon France and it cost me 9 euros.

Fantastic Ssteelbook.

Are parts of the credits also in French here? I can't imagine that Warner produced two different backsides just because of the credits. My theory is that Warner produced the identical Steelbook for France, Italy and the UK.

What finish does the Steelbook have? It looks to me like matte (high quality) or zero.
