Okay, how is this not already better than the current steels available? They all have that "THE NEW FILM BY QUENTIN TARANTINO" line and matte finishes. The Canadian steel has a bilingual spine.

Not to discredit the current artwork, but it says "WRITTEN & DIRECTED by QUENTIN TARANTINO" and it has all the actors' names all of the front.

If we're talking text on the cover...

but they're written in a nice font, with the right matching colours, so the result it's pretty clean
I'm really tempted to double dip this one

Spoiler

It's the same nice font... and the colors match with the colors of this steelbook...

I'm not trying to argue against this new steelbook, just... your points don't really make sense.

Also, the new art is just the slipcover art from another release.

I'm talking about the look of this new front cover and not comparing it to previous versions. So my points don't make sense of what?
I was explaining why names and text on this one don't bother me at all.
The cover is clean enough, there's no blue banner (like the digi with the same cover you talk about), a lighter color palette and not too much red.
It's nice and well done, simply.

I don't care what anyone says... I think this and the original release are both beautiful and will complement each other very nicely!

This was previously confirmed glossy by Wreck https://www.hidefninja.com/forums/showpost.php?p=957183&postcount=11

I know, that's what I was saying.

All we have for this is the front artwork, we don't know what the back or inside will look like, they might be awful.

Even if the back or inside are awful, it'll still be better on account of the gloss finish and front art.

No american ninjas have it in hand yet ?

I need pics before ordering

edit : ouppps...

I thought release date was 16h may, sorry ^^

 

[axldelarge]

Really curious to see some preview from you american ninjas, I've ordered from Barnes & Noble (with Evil Dead, 35$ total shipped to Italy) and I'm sadly going to wait almost a month to have it here (without customs i hope!!!)

 

[Klownicle]

Well officially, its not out till tomorrow.

Edit; Looks like Wal-Mart is selling it as well. So its plausible if in store you could see pics tonight. Not from me. Don't think I'll be buying any of these, that is unless there's a gem in there.

 

[blu-steel]

I will have pics later tonight. Cant believe they put those damn security strips on the back of each one. I even got an opened one without the Blu-ray inside. Damn thief working at amazon!!!

Half of them had slashed spines.

DO NOT ORDER THIS FROM BARNES AND NOBLE!!! I got this in the mail today along with Lawless and Jurassic Park (Reel Heroes), and they were all damaged because the morons crammed it into a flimsy cardboard envelope. Django was the most damaged of the lot. I will be returning them tomorrow for a refund and buying them somewhere else.

 

[axldelarge]

I don't know why I am here now, but you scared me and luckily I cancelled the order

Pic's courtesy of sam305 from over at other site.

 

[Genocide]

And the spine look great.

Picture from sam305 also.

 

[davidson]

That spine is bad ass!

 

[dfoles]

Is that back a back slip or is it printed on the steelbook?

 

[fishvtec]

Comon more picture open it

 

[redlemon]

Comon more picture open it

I can't as pic's were from sam305 over at other site I just re-posted them for members here.

Is that back a back slip or is it printed on the steelbook?

Not printed back has a backing card I think.

He made a small video to but unfortunately he didn't open it.

I'll stick with the Futureshop Exclusive. No need to double dip for this.
