So, I’m passing on this not because it’s not nice. Not even because of the price. But because it’s a steel I already own in 4K and happy with. They have certainly given themselves an uphill battle with a movie that’s been released so many times already.

Cor they are really trying to sell it with all those words repeating the contents twice with an over the top description of it all

Anyway, I do like that slip. But nothing is beating this release imo

Also if the original titans releases were £30 (later some for £35) but with the original releases you technically get the same amount of stuff - steel, PET box, pin and then a mix of either mini Steelbook, posters, patches etc and they’ve changed the PET box to a rigid slip box, still get a steel, pin and an extra item in this case 4 art cards. Where’s that extra £20 going? Because it can’t all be on the slip. it’s still the same amount of items as before. I get that PETs are cheap and a rigid slip with a nice finish is a bit more but come on, not £20 difference. And art cards are one of the cheapest things in these types of editions. So it’s definitely not spent there either.

You just reminded me that I have this steel somewhere... @Naughtius Maximus gifted it to me years ago. Only other Gladiator steel I have is the very first UK one which uses similar art, but has printed rating logos etc lol.

Awesome gift from a member with a very apt name! Makes sense Lol. It’s such a beaut in hand. Back art is with maximus too.

(Top left of course - excuse the other steels, took a group photo that day with the haul that arrived.... years ago)

Interested to see how they price the Supreme edition. If it's not too ridiculous, then I'll be very tempted to pick it up! Can see it easily costing any where between £80-£100 though unfortunately.

You don’t get the cream slip with the Supreme edition though do you? Looks like the cost is going on the metal poster. Like those displate posters you used to sell

Oh? I've honestly not properly read through this thread or the ToC posts they've been sharing as I originally wasn't all that interested in it, but it's grown on me a lot. Definitely not going to bother if it doesn't come with the cream box though.

From the look of the photos it don’t fit in it. There was more info on one of their IG posts but they keep posting these cringey photo shop images with the contents in the film so I’ve no idea what’s what anymore. Will have to wait for the beauty shot

This is it so far

Fml. Far too much helmet.

Do they think these horrible photoshops is a good look for their new super duper premium release?
The pin looks the size of half the face, which in fact it isn't. Will be tiny again, as always. False advertising!

Also if the original titans releases were £30 (later some for £35) but with the original releases you technically get the same amount of stuff - steel, PET box, pin and then a mix of either mini Steelbook, posters, patches etc and they’ve changed the PET box to a rigid slip box, still get a steel, pin and an extra item in this case 4 art cards.

Yeah, so they finally listened, and changed the $0.99 cent 'protector' case to a proper hard box, and put in cards instead of a useless folded poster, like I wanted.
It's £15 difference, as you said they already were £35 before. So £5 extra for the box, £5 for the steelbook stand, and £5 for the rest.

You must get the CreamSlip in the Supreme Box.
Surely!!
No, I don't think so. They're both the same thickness, 34.5mm.
