Gladiator (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Titans of Cult #20) [UK]

Some people like them, some people don't, at the very least the discussions are lively.
Their last couple of releases are still available (and reduced) in my local HMV so I wonder with the "Level 2.0" if they're considering changing up their formula, packaging etc?

They have been hinting at changing it for a while. While I don't think they are the best obviously. I do feel they get too much hate.
Honestly part of the reason I have a soft spot for them is simply because it was their Mad Max that got me back into collecting. Before that I had mostly been resigned to second hand bargain hunting. It also coincided with Covid Lockdown and I started pre ordering.
But as for their actual steels. Some of them are super nice and have creative finishes. Their Pacific Rim Silk Screen being a great example.
I haven't owned a single one of their releases, until yesterday when I ordered The Matrix as it's reduced to £19.99.
I'm not interested in all the guff that came with it but the steel itself looks nice and I wanted the 4k disc
Mad Max TOC was great. I liked how Mad Max and V For Vendetta both had mini steelbooks. I thought that was a cool idea, but for some reason they only did that for 2 of the releases. I am also hoping they switch from the plastic cases.
I wonder if I should waste time contemplating what movie they could mean, or if all of that - level 2.0, the shady L down there, what looks to me at least, etc - is only referring to their '2.0 next generation' design upgrade...
I'm guessing their changing their design - the "shady L" @Lenny Nero mentions like like an OC box type design to me!
IMHO Titans are a welcome change to the standard 'premium' steelbook collectors market. At least they're creative which I think other retailers lack sometimes.... paying top dollar for a recycled Blufanatics TDK trilogy is a bigger reason to complain imo
I've got the Matrix and it's quite a nice Steelbook. I hate that piece of plastic though that holds the bits that come with them and it could scratch your Steel.
I have all of their release and there are a few very nice steels in terms of a design but they are very far away from being even close to a premium. They must increse quality control and should start wrapping steels to avoid scratches. It would be nice to see their design in a full gloss steel for a change.
OK, so they've started to include amarays rather than steelbooks!?! 
Curious to find out what they are proposing though...

They have a few legit really goos steels. And honestly some of the premium steels are not always amazing. As I have said before if they just switch to a nicer slip and have a little more consistency *cough casino royal is ***** then they could at least scratch the door of premium.
Soooo, they have a new style of box. I can't quite tell yet if it is still plastic though. It would be a real shame if they change it but keep as plastic. It almost looks similar to a Vinegar Syndrome Ultimate box at least from a design point of view. If they have it with a nice magnetic clasp and if it's rigid it could actually be really nice.
According to their rep its a rigid case. From the photos it definitely is some sort of horizontal folding case. They will likely drop more details throughout the day but honestly I'm intrigued.
