Artworks seems to be from "Die hard 25th anniversary collection”. If that is the case then atleast all four movies would be similar in artwork, when eventually released. And the disc art is great
True, in a sense, but have a look at
this unboxing vid for the 25th Anniv Collection.
The same image is used for Die Hard (1), but in the boxset, his face is significantly darker and has a full horizontal view that includes a really nice image reel at the bottom encompassing a lot of the action of the movie. Freeze the video on 2:42. If this was a horizontal steel with the highlight reel across the bottom exactly as shown in the boxset, it would be really cool looking. (and I'm not saying I wish it was horizontal or that I prefer horizontal steels in general, because I don't).
Also, there is no fluffy teddy bear in the boxset
That bullet hole on the back, while cool looking and all artsy fartsy, it's still is techincally wrong on many levels, as pointed out by poster "greg" and doubled up by Wreck right after. In the set, there's a lot more real estate to include tons of artwork so it seems more acceptable to use that image for the back (incorrectness aside). On the steelbook, it seems like valuable real estate is wasted.
We steelbook collectors are a tricky bunch, with such varying opinions that I can imagine it's really a difficult endeavor to put out stuff that pleases everyone. Maybe I was harsh to call this new steelbook from Zavvi a failbook, but I still think it could have been better.
must buy for me
