This is back on Zavvi website as a pre order with release date August 27th 2018
£15.99

It could be stock from the france print runNow the question is, is it the same as the previous one?
We just had this one in France, and it was 100% flat, no embossing or debossing like the old one
It could be stock from the france print run
Only way to know is when delivered
Warner might be providing stock from the new print run or had leftover stock from previous european print run and offered these to Zavvi
What I would say here is that the images don't really do the colour justice - the original steelbook had the exact same stock image as what Zavvi are showing now (i.e. a dark,colourless steelbook) but the in hand picture had electric blue tints to it that showed up differently dependent on what angle you looked at it from/what light source was shining on it. As per the 'new' image shown, I think this isn't a case of 'different colour', more a case of 'bad photo/lighting' that doesn't show off the colour properly, which I found hard to properly capture in p
The new steelbook released in July 2018 in europe is flat as in no embossingWhat I would say here is that the images don't really do the colour justice - the original steelbook had the exact same stock image as what Zavvi are showing now (i.e. a dark,colourless steelbook) but the in hand picture had electric blue tints to it that showed up differently dependent on what angle you looked at it from/what light source was shining on it.
Have a feeling this will be pretty much the same case here; it's quite a unique effect compared to any other steelbooks I own and whilst the design is fairly boring its still a nice addition to own.
Will have to check my Enter The Dragon steelbook when I get home as I believe it has the border treatment as per the above, and I'm pretty sure the original Zavvi mockup had it minus the border....
Oh, I totally get that. Just mentioning the colour differential between the two shouldn’t be judged from the above pics as it could be a case of bad lighting/bad picture in the 2018 steelbook. Hopefully the attached show what I mean- both taken at different angles and because of that one of the photos has noticeably more blue tint to it (& I don’t think either picture does the effect any justice, really does look better in hand!)The new steelbook released in July 2018 in europe is flat as in no embossing
2014 steelbook has a border with title and dragon embossed and has better finish
The only way customers will know which steelbook 2014 or 2018 they will receive is when delivered I expect though it's very likely to be the July 2018 steelbook as that is what warner have supplied in europe recently
