How disappointing. Front is good, spine is good, but then everything sucks. Was there really no other art available for the back? :/

 

[Robsonmonkey]

Screw it I've ordered it

Got Skyfall, Goldeneye so I'll have to have this

I just hope they have others ready in the future, seems we are only getting this because it's the 50 Anniversary of the film.

We need Dr No next

That is amazing! I have just pre-ordered. I really can't wait for this one

Reminds me of the excellent artwork used for the CAV laserdisc box set.

Only after a fashion.
I see the MGM and blu logos in the same place - but the trouble with this approach is that the spines will be a misama of colour with non-matching typefaces on the shelf that in reality look nothing like a set or series.

I'm glad they're not matching, that way I won't go mad buying the set lol

It would look better with this variation on the back:

Pass. Only after the ones not released in the US / Canada.

 

[Lollard2002]

Handy back cover

 

[Greyback]

This steelbook artwork doent match to Goldeneye.
The title must be debossed and the backartwork in the same style.

Won't mind giving it a try since I like the movies. But how can I be sure all Bond movies will be released as steelbooks? Started collecting the US/CDN steels back in 2008, but they stopped at no. 9 after the studio went bankrupt or was sold and that's it! These are the releasess:

James Bond 007 - Dr. No (US)
James Bond 007 - From Russia With Love (US)
James Bond 007 - Goldfinger (US)
James Bond 007 - Thunderball (US)
James Bond 007 - Live And Let Die (US)
James Bond 007 - Moonraker (US)
James Bond 007 - For Your Eyes Only (US)
James Bond 007 - The World Is Not Enough (US)
James Bond 007 - Die Another Day (US)

Okay, from today's point of view the cover art is old fashioned but at least the design is matching.

Then 3 others were released, but they have nothing in common!

James Bond 007 - GoldenEye (UK)
James Bond 007 - Casino Royale (GER)
James Bond 007 - Skyfall (GER)

So if they want us to start collecting the Bond steels we need a reliable information about what they have in mind, a complete Bond collection with a matching design or just a few individual releases. Don't want to end up again with a unfinished collection or to start all over again with the same movies in a new design.

With that back artwork, they need to halve the price before I think about buying it

Same artwork front and back is just bull droppings.

 

[cooey]

I like the artwork but I've already got the UK box set of all the movies so I'll be saving my money for something else

 

[pitshit]

I already have the Bond50 box set but this is one of my all time favourite.
This is a must have!

 

[Apinamakina]

Same art on both sides? Lame.

Would have ben good if they did the scene with her on the bed at the back.

zavvi £21.99 for 1 disc they are having a

Very lazy design, why use the same image twice on a steelbook, is this some kind of joke or insult? could have been nice but they sure ruined it.

Sadly there seems to be a further decline in the quality of steelbooks lately, the price does not help it either, think I will skip this one.

Live on Amazon - £24.99 - Hope it drops its price before release day.
