Yaaaaaaassss. All over this like a rash! - 2.6% cashback, all adds up.

Just had a despatch email for this.

Same here as well, should arrive on Saturday.

Steelbook has embossed title. Looks glossy too (not my pic)

 

[Noodles]

Wasn't expecting any kind of special treatment on this, so the embossing (and gloss if true) is a nice surprise!

 

[Noodles]

Just received my copy... spot-gloss on Ferris (back and front). I really like it overall, but I wish they hadn't glued the info sheet to the slip... it's marked mine in some places.

 

[StifflersDad]

Can anyone explain what the these lines are in artwork on both the steelbook itself as well as the slip

It looks like the source of the art was a poor photocopy. LOL. Epic fail.

Going for an 80's 'Fax' look?!

I assumed it was just an artistic choice rather than an error. The thing that bugs me more is the fact that the top of Ferris' head is cut off on the slip.

I received this and Top Gun today, and both steelbooks feel really solid, like old school embossed steelbooks used to before they started making the metal thinner. They don't pop or flex at all, not like more recent embossed steels. They feel slightly heavier than normal too, even with the slip off.

Hopefully this continues in future releases.

Could that be down to Paramount?

I always thought they make quality steelbooks.

Steelbook itself is quite nice but the washed out red in the background is a bit cack.
Just annoyed that my bin is that little bit more full thanks to the pointless slip.

 

[Evil Genius]

As much as I like this movie, I wouldn't buy this steelbook as the design is so cheap! It looks like the designer spent 15 minutes doing it because he was hungry and really wanted to go for his lunch. If they can't be bothered putting in the effort to design a reasonably decent steelbook art, I can't be bothered parting with my money to buy it.

 

[jim 80]

I quite like that design for the slip (apart from the top being cut off), but I think I agree that it's not ideal art for a steel. Still, I think Zavvi are moving in the right direction: I would rarely buy a bare steel now, so it's nice to see that they're thinking about how to make the whole package nicer, even if they missed the mark here.

If you don't want the slip...give it away. You're not forced to keep it.

Slip / steel design inspired by one of the original posters for the film:-
(1) Original one sheet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) 30th Anniversary release poster -------------(3) "30th Anniversary steelbook release" . . . except that it's not . . . unlike some of the other 30th Anniversary releases that have been RE-MASTERED recently on the occasion of their 30th this has not been (as far as I can gather).
Not really a cynic but can't help feeling a bit cynical about this release as it seems to me specifically designed to shift old stock before a 30TH ANNIVERSARY RE-MASTERED EDITION is released.

(1) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) ------------------------------(3)

Spoiler: FERRIS BUELLER SB - More interesting (imo) cover art

Lots of other images around apart from the ones they used that would have made for more interesting covers . . . with these three as my favourites:-

(1) JAY RYAN creative ----------------------------------------------------- (2) Original one sheet ------------------------------------------- (3) Front and Back of SB or slip - CHRIS MORKAUT creative "Mondo style"

Same art as the Amaray complete with horizontal lines . . .
RE-SLEEVE instead of RE-MASTER

A pic of the inside art as no one posted it yet......

happy days. still have no idea why i would want a full slip with the same image as the steelbook, with a quarter slip style j-card stuck hard over that as well, but anyways... embossing on the film title but nowhere else, slightly odd combo of a glossy steelbook with a weathered look. resolution's good on the film print, btw.

(chick-a-chick-aaah....)

full slip

This series of simplistic duplicate steel/slip art releases proves someone has no idea why most people collect these releases //

 

[Stygian]

Although he is a vital character I think they should have left Rooney out of the artwork due to his illegal activities.

I mean the actor's real life illegal activities.
I know his name but I'd rather not see it on display here.
