Glad to see this coming through finally! Another one to add to my collection

I am glad indeed. 11th Official Indian steelbook iirc. One good thing, IM3 is also being released by Sony DADC in India, so damn sure that they will release steelbook in India as well.

Lets hope this meets quality standards unlike what I experienced with Hobbit and unlike what we've seen with the US target release. I'm praying this has some good embossing upfront, similar to the Israel version.

The front artwork is consistent with the UK upcoming release, isn't it?

 

[crossbow]

Hobbit has quality issues ? I was thinking of buying it. fook.

One thing is sure, Shrinkwrap quality will be sucktee for sure, lulz.

Ya artwork will be same, me too thinks. But same Israel version releasing in UK as well, someone mentioned in Django UK thread iirc. I have also ordered UK version only. So I was happy on that note.

I will try to contact flipkart for embossing, back and inside art info. But from my experience, right now they will not provide an answer. Their CC may probably ask , "what's embossing ? " When it comes to item details, their CC is not that great.

Check the hobbit thread mate

The Flipkart CS is probably going to ask you to explain what a steelbook is

Main post updated.

Date still not confirmed. But releasing at May end for sure. And Flipkart rep replied that they get item at their warehouse 1 week prior to release, so they will send an update on back art, inside art and silp (if available) once they receive the item in their warehouse.

^^ They should have used the colour of the t-shirt on the steel!

Got it and responded!

 

[Researcher]

Fair enough crossbow - I think I will.

I recommended the wait just coz of the way in which the J-card on the Hobbit was stuck to the steelbook. That sucked BIG time, and honestly, I will shift my steel if it comes like that to me ever again. But as usual with Indian steelbooks, I have this on order

 

[Researcher]

I got this today - have to say I'm happy about the steel.
Comes with Embossing - the title, the chain and the two figures are all embossed. The J-card is pretty nice too, its different from the Target release even though the art work is the same.
However, the steel itself is a little thin (déjà vu, Captain America) and the colours are a disappointment - not vibrant at all. This would have been a cracking release if the colours were better

The T-shirt looks cool! The steelbook does look a little bit pale compared to the others though.

Yup, it does haven't seen that on any other releases yet, but who knows, maybe UK will surprise me
I really don't understand the reason for the different shades on this steel. Big let down on this count!!

 

[crossbow]

It's a bosslike steelbook indeed. Well done Sony DADC India. BTW, researcher, did you get to select your preferred Tee size?

 

[Researcher]

No mate, they send me a large though. Haven't tried it on yet!

Ya, It's really not good. They should have mentioned that size preference is not available with them. I had a long chat with them on this. They said that Tee is directly from Sony DADC India, and not from retailer. So they cannot provide Tee size preference. If it was from them, they would have provided.
