Good release for those who missed on HDZETA and FAC

 

[Sampy]

My all time favorite movie, curious what's inside

 

[Wreck]

I don't have any Gladiator steels, reason being they all suck or cost way too much on the secondary market. I fully welcome this if they release steel only like previous ones

Well there are good ones that are expensive yes, hence they were good.... but there is also quite a few cheap ones out there still that are very nice. Like the helmet gloss embossed one that can still be found on foreign amazons. mock photos look like crap on the listing and dont show it all.

I'd say the release here is more for folks who care about the quality packaging surrounding the steel and 4k.

Thanks mate. There's always something I don't like about them though. The one you linked, I don't like the plain(ish) background. The recent one was probably the best for art, but no bossing. I'll see how this one turns out and yeah, I'm yet to get the 4K of this so that could sway me too

 

[Noodles]

I never did pick up a premium edition, so this is a strong possibility for me. Looking forward to the beauty shot!

 

[PunkNinja]

It's a good 4K upgrade and addition for my small Gladiator collection.

 

[Sampy]

Uh just a guess but...the movie Gladiator?

Hehe yeah but this looks like a boxset, so I wonder how it al looks

 

[Zwitsal]

Just looked at their other boxes and the content looks great. Some with nice embossing. I’m really looking forward as it will be my first Gladiator steel

Looks really nice overall. Loving the white and gold... very classy!

Just a shame the front of the slip and steel both use the same image of Crowe, but maybe they had no choice?

I'd suggest shrinking the image on the front of the slip slightly to give the title more breathing room, as it's kinda squashed in there IMO.

Also, why is he blue?



Jokes aside, I'll definitely be in for this if I have the cash available come live time.

I held off opening the recent HDZeta box in case this one ended up being significantly better, but I feel like the HDZ is a bit nicer overall.

No new art, which I expected, but as you say, it's pretty nice.

Completely agree. I was thinking the same thing when looking at the BS. If they don't it will devalue it without a doubt vs the competition. They need to fix this ASAP.
They should glue the top of the spine down so it doesn't bulge like that.

Also, this will ship after brexit so what's all that EU shipping nonsense. It should be UK and ROW. Unless they're expecting a fourth extension Bottom line is I wanna save those VAT pounds.

If UK leave EU with a deal in January
UK will have a transition period before they actually do leave the EU
All existing EU rules will still apply to UK until December 31st 2020

EDIT - Just noticed they already used this image for the booklet, but still... they could easily do some swapping around.

I feel this would've worked better on the front with some minor tweaking - similar colours (gold/white)...

What if they don't leave with a deal?

Except HDZ just used it. But on the other hand it would have given them more space for the title

 

[paulboland]

What if they don't leave with a deal?

If Conservative win election with a majority the deal will be passed

If election results in a Labour coalition goverment a new deal will be negotiated with new leave date and this put to a new referendum accept deal or remain in EU
