Do all editions come with standard blu-rays?
Kinda disappointed there is no 4K disc

See post #158

I’m confused, some people are talking about securing theirs but the preorder says July 6th. What’s going on? Lol

None of the editions are really jumping out at me.
Defo not liking the lenti or the PET slip. Was up for the full slip but reading it’s holofoil puts me off a bit because that image could have some great matte and spot gloss (like the white nova reservoir dogs slip) and would look awesome

I don’t get how full holofoil would work. Maybe holofoil the bits on the metal robot parts

Is it sad that the thing I’m happiest about is the art card with Issac dancing!? Lol

This is a much warmer response than you first had for Fight Club, so I assume you’ll be one clicking this as well.

As for me, I think they’ve done a decent job bringing some new art to the table. The back of the steel is by far the weakest link imo. Reminds me of the cheap Warner Bros. steels of old.

Might have to swap the back shell off of the original WWA steel for a white on white mashup.

Keeping my fingers crossed they don’t go full holofoil on FS, as that’s my favorite of the bunch.

I’m a dummy lol I got stuck in the discussion page, thanks!

Pass for me. Mondo and the first WWA have better artworks. But i like the slips from here.

Nah just the one edition for me. Fight club was different. One of my favs

Backside scenecap vignette is a cheap trick to fill empty space. Bit disappointed about it. At least they could have cut it out.
Still hope they will correct the back, but guess that wont happen

Still better than the WWAs or the so called "premium" releases of this movie

 

[Noodles]

I'm a big fan of holofoil... when used correctly anyway. I think it would suit these particular slips, especially if used just on the mechanical/metal parts of Ava.

 

[Actarus]

I have a hard time going for the One Click, Beautiful Classy Proper Wrap Around Box they did but missing a part of the Puzzle.
When Bonus Items are the same in Every edition. Too Redundant.

I hope they will soon follow HDzeta, FAC and Blufans offering different Bonus Items for each Edition.
So when going for the One Click this way, it feels like there is added value.

[hatredhorror]

might go for the one-click when its live as every edition is similarly appealing to me

 

[jonnybobbytimmy]

The longer I stare at these pictures, the more I think @virkia is right:
The Fullslip is just perfect for that Steel.

 

[IRON MAN]

I hope the box set has a similar finish to this

You're not one clicking this baby? Tsk tsk

Only if they put 3 different Steelbooks in my OC, lol

 

[Actarus]

I just looked over my FAC edition and it still Kicks Ass !!!
The WWA Steelbook is absolutely Superb in every sense of the way. A Pure Gem
No Wonder why the WWA won Steelbook of the year for 2015


Wonderful editions and One Click Boxset from Manta though ! But it doesn't take away the awesomeness of the FAC edition

That's not FAC, Mondo, HDZeta, or either WWA--what on earth is it?

It's the slipcover for the DVD. The CA DVD and Blu-ray slips both had nice finishes
