Hey.....it just dawned on me that the new pictures that have been uploaded might be of an actual SLIPCOVER for the Steelbook??? That would explain why the border is missing (the actual Steelbook underneath could still be embossed??)

If you look at the 'sticker' with the dog tags on the front it looks like the lettering could be debossed (like on a slipcover)

Could this be possible does anyone else think??

To me, it looks like the same old jcard that paramount normally does, with the wrap around movie info at the top.

In addition, if it was a full slip, you couldn't see the steelbook spine (the [] at the bottom) of the spine picture.

The only other option would be a sleeve, like we've seen with Jack Reacher BluFans...

But I'm not too hopeful at this point.

so whats going to happen with the GB for this?

I think the person in charge of that GB is going to try and confirm what is going on, and then depending on that answer, give folks the option to not go with this one.

 

[aficionado]

So the price is still 29.96? A little pricey for a US steelbook, I guess.

Just got my shipping notification on these.

Added some of these pictures to the OP. Thanks for posting these sam305.

No prob I try to help when I can.

hmmm... the cut out on the barcode on the back makes it seem like a slip and underneath it there is the steelbook with the j-card... finger crossed

That's just a sticker. You can see it's covering some of the text.

If you want a slip why not just get the amaray version? I am still getting this I would have thrown the slip out anyways.

WRECK said today in the GB thread for this that the Steelbook is confirmed glossy. Is the UK ES one glossy or matt?

That does not look like a cut out as the words we have been moved to the left. It looks like the barcode is a sticker.

ya never noticed that it was a sticker lol... just excited to get this soon

But what is with that ad on the front: GET FREE PERSONALIZED DOG TAGS (and the Tags pictured there???

They can NOT be printed on the Steelbook Cover
They can not be so stupid... right

Well that's either a sticker on the shrinkwrap or that's on the slipcover.

Saw this in the theater. It's really not that good of a movie at all. Yet I'm drawn to the SB.

 

[MK50]

Well that's either a sticker on the shrinkwrap or that's on the slipcover.

Even the picture looks weird! The silver outer line from the yellow ad looks like blank metal (same as the other silver/blank parts of the SB) to me

Maybe just a pic made from a computer monitor and NOT from the actual Steelbook?
It will even look STRANGE when printed on the Slipcover

But not long now and we know

 

[sam305]

I'm going to try to get my source to get more pics and the dog tag sticker is on the outside shrink wrap.

 

[sam305]

Got some more pics and sorry my friends my source confirmed no steelbook slip with any of the steels that came in.

I'm still sticking with this just because it will be easy to buy, and it will be cheaper than all the other import alternatives. I'm hoping Wal-Mart has it on sale in store, cheaper than the online price.
