I'll wait until Zavvi have this and the others for £8.95 plus a discount code. £11.97 is a decent price, but little savings like that make a big difference when you consider the amount of Steelbooks being released.

Just had a quick look at PQ by skipping through the disc, looks pretty good to me, some grain mainly in the darker scenes but overall it good and some boat shots i saw looked great.

Didn't mention what i thought of the steelbook when i added the pics as I was in a rush earlier, i think its similar to the zavvi aliens release, only( imo )cocoon is better and it does have a nice sheen to it. It's not the best steelbook imo but far from the worst, i got it for a great price and its not had a blu ray release in the UK before so I'm very happy with it.

The steelbook looks nice, I think maybe the fence on the front could've been embossed.

The film however creeps me out to this very day.

Gonna attempt a couple of up right pics of the front and back

Did they really put the "Cocoon: The Return" credits on the back? Such a poor error. Other than that, it's pretty nice.

Oh dear. It looks like a nice enough Steelbook, but that is a little annoying. Nearly as bad as the French language credits on The Prestige

I didn't even notice, that's just too funny

The thing is that it is actually on the mockup too, you can see if you zoom the pictures on Amazon. I'm surprised nobody noticed it before now to be honest.

Play.com iron man 1 and 2 switched inside art, zavvi's gremlins inside art had gremlins 2 art till it was noticed and changed, now they're putting other films credits on the back of steels it either makes them unique in a good way for collectors or just plain dodgy releases. Crazy how we didn't see that in the mock up, i have the thing in my hands and i still didn't notice

Finish
Matte finish with metallic shine.

Comments
The finish is almost satin like again. There is a sheen to it. Its like one layer of gloss so satin finish sounds about right. Its more shinier than a matte finish.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.

Below are shots to help show the finishing on the steel.

I am liking your photos Ricster. It really shows us the Steel in detail.

This is getting delivered to me tomorrow. Great movie & great looking SB thanks for the pic's.

However, the credits mistake means when this gets back to someone @ Fox they will have to recall so expect its value to rise sharply as major studios nearly always recall if something has a credit's related mistake (to stop the lawsuits from the actors concerned or their estates as its misleading advertising if nothing else!)

The credits mistake on the back is a bad mistake

Cocoon
Directed by Ron Howard
Cocoon The Return
Directed by Daniel Petrie

This is a very big mistake having the wrong film credits
especially when you have the
Wrong Film
Wrong Director
Wrong credit for Screenplay
Wrong credit for Cinematography
A massive mistake

I'm Surprised this was not noticed before release

Someone at Fox UK will be getting there ass kicked or worse

Apart from the bad credits mistake this is a fantastic looking steelbook
I expect this to be pulled from release in near future
I wonder what will happen will we get a free replacement with correct credits

It will soon be a very limited release

This could be a very good collectors item!!! I bet this gets pulled and destroyed.

BTW I think this is the best of the wave.
