I actually like that but I’m not interested because the original steel is good enough and the film just don’t warrant multiple purchases for me but I’m interested in what this wave tackles next
 
Poster and art same as the one from the HMV amaray line.
So maybe more steels from the same line. (see below)

I thought I had seen this before. Yep I think you’re right. And that style art only suits the forbidden planet film because of its age and the style of its previous posters. The others will be a pass except possibly cloud atlas if they do it

I kinda like the 2001 and the colours used but again would pass. Don’t like the film enough for owing it 3 times
 
Same handful of dogshit titles getting released again and again. How about some new titles with steelbook releases?

Oh well I guess it's money saved. This is the first time since 2014 I don't have any outstanding steelbook orders... That's got to tell you something... If only these studios would release some films that don't have steelbooks

I like a lot of those Amarays. Definitely interested in steelbooks, but the price would need to be cheap, so i could justify not having a 4K disc there and getting it separately.
Also i would prefer a satin finish here and not gloss.

Ditto. First time since seriously collecting (so 8ish years) I have no steel pre orders with zavvi/ HMV etc apart form the couple of premiums I’ve already paid for. I suppose the no new films being released also has a part to play too
 
Happy to see this new one in retro style although this would've been good too or this one from Kilian Eng ...

... so different to all of the previous FP releases in the UK which have been very similar:-

Hopefully the new one is priced sensibly at no more than the original (and best) from Entertainment Store @£14.99.

Another idea would've been steelbooks based on Justin Mezzell's geometric designs ...

... but maybe that's too far out to be comfortable.
