Like it !

 

[Lenny Nero]

Ooh, a 72 page booklet, 'mesolike'.
I guess they've stopped doing those 'worn border' 4k steelbooks, might as well buy this release.

Target release is a DigiPack not a Digibook

I think it's neither. It's an o-ring slipcase with a front flap with pocket. Like a dozen recent other Target exclusives.

£50 for that CE is a really bad joke. Hopefully it sells terribly or they'll probably start trying to push prices up yet again and make that the norm.

Look at rambo ce then

Lol. How can you compare these two?!
It's like compairing bananas and apples.
Rambo CE has much more extra content than this CE. But nowhere near does Rambo CE deserve to be priced at that amount.

 

[Flloydo]

Yeah it’s hard to compare the both there. Was a poor comparison.

 

[Ashcroft]

Look at rambo ce then

It's possible for more than one thing to be bad at a time, and another thing being bad does not make another thing good.

And how does a slip and a couple pieces of card bump the price by a further £17???

One of those "pieces of card" is actually a 72 page booklet

 

[Stygian]

So much negativity from people who probably never buy these steelbooks anyway.

LOL you really oughta give up on Disney 3D discs in the UK.

None of the Disney movies get 3D discs in the UK for quite a while now.

It's over.

I used to buy ALL the Marvel WWA's, but have become more disenfranchised with them over time. Didn't buy Eternals (movie bored me), didn't buy Shang Chi (movie was just ok). When a movie I really enjoyed like Doctor Strange comes along i can't help be disappointed by art that I feel doesn't represent my experience of the film.

Couple that with wondering why I've got vastly inferior WWA's of movies i do like sat on the shelf next to fantastic premiums from WeET, Blufans etc..... Why'd I buy the WWA's in the first place? Was it in case I couldn't land a premium further down the line?

I'm guessing that's the crux of my disappointment for this release - the chances of a premium from Asia are pretty effin' slim right now and I feel I'm settling for (instead of celebrating) this release.

...because I've known to be a bit weird already, I'm not giving up.

My personal opinion is that most people will be disappointed if the WWA of any new steelbook doesn't look like a Blufans release. 2 official movie posters with gloss and embossing. One on the front and another on the back.

That's the art people have already seen on movie posters so when the steelbook isn't the "familiar" art that people have already seen then it's a letdown for them.

This is such silly logic. The average consumer doesn't know about specialist companies in Asia bundling steelbooks with mountains of tat and the majority of consumers who do know couldn't care less. This is a steelbook for British consumers sold by a British retailer, there is no reason why Disney can't put movie posters and titles on the front, plenty of other distributors and releases do.

Most collectors want a nice box (which depicts a classic image associated with the movie - often the movie poster) to keep their disc safe. The tat market is propped up by people hoarding 20 copies of the same movie and re-sellers.

In conclusion: Just because super-tat versions are sold in foreign markets there is no reason domestic releases can't use the best available art.

Just wishful thinking on your part.

Movie poster art is for the amarays.

If that's the art you want then stop buying steelbooks or wait for re-releases years down the road.

£50 isn't too outlandish, even better if it's still in stock and £44 with code. Nice looking set too, standard slip, cards, booklet set. None of that flashy lights chunky box crap they did before. Just bloody hope that's a removable jcard and bbfc stickers.

£17 for a slipcase, booklet and a few art cards seems extremely outlandish to me…

Good thing then that the steelbook is available without the £17 of extras.
