Depending on the preview pictures with the logos on the spine, it looks to me like a big error in production.

Big error? Hell no, it looks clean and nice. Wish all steelbooks had this

It was distributed by New Line in the U.S. but Warner Home Video in the UK.

Ah ok. You learn something new everyday.

To say this shipped on Friday afternoon last week, still nothing from the postman.

It's a great looking steelbook. Love the finish and the spot gloss, embossed title. Just a shame they don't all match but they are distributed by 2 different companies so can't have everything I guess. Just nice to be able to complete the trilogy

Well, bit of a suprise today as this turned up. I ordered when it was pre order for march release. Didn't even get a dispatch notice. Checked my zavvi account and it says dispatched but still has release date for march. Not that i'm complaining as i was bit gutted when i fell asleep before midnight release.

A GEM of a outing .

I missed the original Japan Realise as it was before my time so to speak .

The first of this trilogy is in my lowly view the best . A very happy camper and its Zavvi that has made me happy been a while since I could type that . Hope it will continue .

Wanted to pick one out of this and John Wick and annoyingly chose John Wick which is so bland in my opinion. Gonna stick a pre-order in for March now and send back the horrendous John Wick steel.

I'd say Zavvi is the clear winner all round, the Canadian one is cropped badly on the front

Wholeheartedly agreed!

 

[digitalbabe]

Just bought mine. Looks pretty well done and my wife and I are still fans of this one. Thans for the pics all!

 

[BluSteel2012]

Personally, I prefer the Japanese one.

Art is centered better on the front (top of his head is going off the edge of the zavvi one) and the names are much larger too on the UK one. I prefer the back art on the Japanese one too.

Still, a great effort from Warner on this one. Better than we expect it would have been I think. Good movie choices too in that last wave.

 

[cooey]

Think I prefer the Zavvi one out of all of those

 

[Bungral]

Agreed. Very happy with how this turned out.

I'm also waiting on a load of Black Friday stuff all week. Nothing came.

Ah, Xmas post.......

The UK/Zavvi release is the overall winner for me too... the only thing I don't love about it is their choice of interior art, but then it's still better than the others IMO.

 

[tha_lunatic]

So did the first stock sell out and the next batch is coming March next year?
