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

I would either get it from Amazon or find it in store somewhere to make sure it's in good condition.

I've been looking forward to this release, and I'm not all too disappointed or excited about it. I like the front and back artwork and the front/spine have a good white paint job. The only con about the steel is the blank inside art. Just seems like an opportunity lost. But, overall it's what I expected and I'm happy with the pictures I've seen. Will pick this one up.

This looks like a mess IMO. Glossy front and then a raw metal back????? Is the character on the back spot glossed even?

And what's with the inside? I can understand if it's blank but why have it black??

 

[Civer]

Oh man, if only the top of the back would be white, too. Then this would be great. Now it's just cool.

 

[ash333]

My bad - the back cover is also gloss finished. I used "raw metal" to describe a non-painted look but it is gloss-finished.

 

[BluSteel2012]

I was thinking!! At least the finish is consistent then

 

[snooloui]

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

Care to revise your statement?

The back spoils it, the plain metal section looks horrible and the lack of real inside artwork is disappointing. The previous versions are a step above this one in my opinion.

Oh dear, too late to cancel but all going to US address, so should be able to return them without issues.

I think this looks pretty good, will pick this up when there's a price drop as I already own the amaray. Shame about the inside though.

 

[severo]

i like the front and the spine, but shame about the inconsistent back artwork!

why use white on the front but plain silver on the back? i don't get it, but somehow it ruins the otherwise cool look of this steel for me.

 

[Marina Blue]

Beautiful, I can't wait for mine to arrive!!!!

 

[lgans316]

I like this. Good opportunity to fit a hi-rez custom inside artwork.

 

[axldelarge]

no many problems about the inside artwork (maybe a plain red instead of black would've been better) but that back is disappointing!
The image looks cool and you simply can't mess the style forgetting the white background, and i'm not usually against bare metal finish, but that's messy even with a nice gloss.

glad you made me cancel the order.

I love the artwork, but I hate some of their design choices.

Unless this drops to <$10, I'll stick with the original target one that has inside artwork and 3 discs. Besides, I already spent time on that steel, swapping it's innards to hold 3 discs properly.

I pre-ordered this at just over £10 a few months back (as seen earlier on in the thread) but cancelled when I realised Anchor Bay were distributing (region locked). It looks pretty decent though.

I like this. Good opportunity to fit a hi-rez custom inside artwork.

You were returning it 2 hours ago?

 

[lgans316]

You were returning it 2 hours ago?

Shows that you didn't even understand the context of my post. I said I will return if it was damaged as someone mentioned that B&N packaging was sh*t and not because I didn't like the Steelbook.

 

[Wreck]

I like it all. Esp compared to what we were receiving in USA a little over a year ago. Matte steels with no inside artwork from WB. ha. A step in the right direction!

This is currently £7.12 + £1.26 del at Amazon UK. Released 20th May, that's sure to be the steelbook.
