Yeah... I'm not too keen on coasters. Coasters have kind of faded out imho. All I drink is bottled water and you don't really need a coaster for that.
Coasters? Coasters?! We don't need no stinking coaters!
That's what the steelbooks are for.
That's what the steelbooks are for.
That's exactly what I'll be doing too.I guess I could use those with my Blade Runner 2049 whiskey glasses
And what's funnier is I'm sure I recall folks having similar complaints when the artwork for EM was first revealed... then they eventually saw it in hand and went nuts for it lol.This is what's funny to me ... this Community voted the Ex Machina steelbook some years ago the SteelBook of the Year. And this steel here has a lot of similarities. Embossing, debossing, good finish and elements from the film.
Personally this (Blade Runner) is shaping up to be one of my favourite looking editions and most anticipated releases of the year. Can't wait to own this beauty!
You and me both bro, very excited for this.Personally this (Blade Runner) is shaping up to be one of my favourite looking editions and most anticipated releases of the year. Can't wait to own this beauty!
Struzan artwork put to better effect on the DVD steelbook:-
As for this new one: it's stunning and sooo different to what's gone before - even compared to this jumbo:-

I'm actually starting to question if I get this or not Noodles. SEND HALP! Cooey is sorting me out with the HDZeta edition and part of me is questioning if I should go for this or not.
Coasters are the last thing I need more of to be honest lol, but they will go very nicely with the BR whiskey glasses, so I'm not complaining.tell the truth ...you want to buy this release because of the coasters

I get what your saying but it’s still very different. And I agree that this new steel does have a good finish and bossing but the problem is the image of the prop. It just don’t look right. Whereas Ex_machina although somthing different and unique theysmashed it. The exo skeleton (whatever you call it) is just a much better design. Which brings me exactly back to my point in my post before. New and unique is fine, as long as it looks good (imo). Ex_machina looks good
I don’t care that people like this design. But I am very surprised that they do especially when for example some amazing illustrated arts much much much greater than this have had a lot of hate lol. And my hunch with this is (because the design was getting a lot of hate to start with) that like magpies, a lot have seen shiny shiny and fallen for its trance
And every one of us on here at some point have not liked a mock up and then changed their minds once in hand or seeing pics. But in this instance, I’ve seen the pics and the lovely finish still can’t convince me it’s not a bad design and odd image (by odd I mean I don’t like that they chose that, and it’s placement is weird to me)
I like the kind of love going into the package, but I’ll wait to see what they do in the future with a film and design I prefer. I just hope this won’t be their thing and they use out of place props for front artworks on all their films
Overall, everything is fickle. When GOTG walkman came out most all bashed, wanted poster art. Now it has a pretty good reputation, and sells very well. I always see love for it on social.
In the instance of Blade Runner, there is already like 4-5 other editions which feature poster art or other, so I welcome something different and unique. Granted I do realize we still haven't gotten that Struzan in all its glory the way it should be done but I suspect at some point.
I'm not a huge Blade Runner fan, but had this simply been the unicorn again I'd think it'd receive much more hate.

I actually love the Guardians Walkman steel haha
Oh yeah at least it’s not repeated art. That does become tiresome (although I’d happily accept the sleepy hollow steel to get a rerelease in the U.K. , that would be my exception)
