2 discs - separate 3D and 2D discs

Separate discs for the 2D&3D versions is a nice touch as it's only been available in the FNAC tin edition.
I wanted both editions (but not the box I don't like those) but that price means I'll probably just have to get one version and after waiting all this time it's a bit of a downer!

Anti climax vest describes this release. Only the hard core FACboys will buy the obscenely photoshopped E2 and the expensive Boxset. Wish they kept the original E1 GB as is by just amending the price as it's going to be the first choice for buyers but those who want 2 copies will be forced to buy the other 2 editions.

And £ sinking and just paid an eye watering £52 for AoU as opposed to £42/I used to pay before.

Don't join the GBs then

I think the steelbook itself is quite OK. But I absolutely feel no love for both slips at all. I have to say that I regret having passed Nova for this a bit.
Maybe I'll wait for the BS and then decide...

I'm not liking the lenti at all and I don't like the fact they are charging an extra premium for it.

However I do like the look of the full slip and cannot wait to see the beauty shots.

Likewise, then don't join the GBs lol Vote with your wallet if its expensive.

Don't get me wrong, more than pricing, look at the lenticular. Anyone who thinks it is Karl Urban under that helmet must be insane. I mean it is worse than these Po(o)p arts. Did we really wait an year for this farce? However I am sure anyone like me who wants a spare copy will be forced to join the E2 GB unless E1 GB allocation is 2 per person.

But I've never intended to go for the lenti, my FAC collection is full slips only

With regards to price, if I want it I'll buy it - simple as that. I won't sit there and moan about the price being too high

I am sure majority of us are moaning about the pricing. not just me.

The moaning about pricing bit wasn't specifically aimed at you

I really don't think the lenticular likeness is as bad as some are claiming.
The nose, lips and chin all look pretty close to Urban's, while not being an exact replica.


It's clearly not from a still of the movie, but I assume there weren't any from the available publicity material suitable, so a 3D rendering was the only available option.

For what it's worth, I think the depth of the lenticular, if pulled of successfully, could be something special and set it above the other releases of this title, as much as I like the Nova Media lenticular.

The embossing on the back is just Killer! Very nice!

One thing I have noticed is that FA have Dredd left handed, when he's clearly right!

Nice to honour us lefties though!!!!!

As a Karl Urban / Dredd 'fanboy' I like the steelbook and the slip - although a year on it's not as big a deal as it was (I think it now looks like a derivative of the Dutch metalpak). I'm a fan of lenticulars, but not this one. As for the price, I looked on the website yesterday...but having seen the GB prices I can see why everyone is complaining. I'll 'make do' with a full slip (and as someone said, I better get one as I was on the original group buy)

regarding the other comments...Separate discs don't worry me too much as I only watch it in 3D. After all, it's a live action film shot in 3D, not converted, it deserves it (although I believe less than 10% of people watch 3D at home now). Never had a problem with Asian steelbooks myself. And I think it's time we lobbied the government to raise the limit on imports. In the USA I think they are allowed $150 before duty and tax, it's something like £17 here which means with the £ going down almost everything is going to get hit with duty.

Is there going to be a GB for this?

 

[marcnotrust]

Another thing, I'm sure I checked FAC this morning. When did this go up?

With our money grabbing government you'll be lucky bud!

And now the pound's down the shitter, they'll need every bit of revenue they can squeeze out of us!

Yup. I got absolutely rinsed on some Metallica box sets not so long ago.

Thank you Martin! Just a general question about payment - if we change our order to get another edition and have already paid, would you guys would likely prefer a payment for the difference only, and that amount will be invoiced separately at a later point, correct?
