Love the front and inside artwork, not sure about the back though, it doesn’t go well with the front.

 

[goufcustom]

everything's a mess... front / back / inside... i'd have preferred if they separate those 2 movies as front/back but zavvi done that before... i still prefer zavvi or DE over this...

Needs a nice full slip

DE version still the best to me. that spot varnish feel.

be interesting to see what finish this one gets.

agree about the back ... the black area left me wondering how cool would it be to get an artist to use white paint pen or sharpie and do a doodle at top and bottom. Course cant really think of what doodle. maybe the car and her leg on the other.

I know one shouldnt have to think that hard to really like something, but sometimes its fun to get that personal touch on your steels. its tarantino so im buying it regardless. In fact this listing was called just grindhouse collectors edition before (or maybe it was special edition) so i had pre-ordered it when it was a blank white space in case it was something lavish as i locked in at 19.99. Guessing it might go cheaper in the long run perhaps. sometimes hard telling since it is 2 movies.

Yeah that black area is definatly missing something. I agree the German Steel is the best so far. I do think the interior art is pretty cool and it is Tarantino so should still be worth picking up! Hopefully it’s a gloss finish. I knew you would be getting it Wreck!

Was expecting a better cover solution. I guess packaging is the only new thing here right? No new materials on those Blu˙s?

Looks ok but I'm happy enough with the UK steelbook I got from Zavvi back in 2015

 

[awb85]

Just a minor edit like this would have made it look so much better/consistent IMO.

 

[tridon]

Okay, that looks pretty amazing. I'm tempted, but I'm STILL hoping that we one day get the FULL feature as shown in theatres. I want the trailers and the intermission on Blu-ray in the worst way!

Very cool front and insides . . . and whilst not exactly the ugly third sister if reusing that massive black egg timer shape at least use it properly and put the text in . . . as without the text the shape just looks pointless and daft.

Insides - multi image layout seen previously on the Japan DVD edition:-

The distressed and pulp magazine style artwork of the similar style German steelbook looks none the worse for gloss so that would probably be the best choice of finish here.

The 2-film GRINDHOUSE - and standalone releases - BD and DVD steelbooks (from around and about):-

Didn't the german edition have all of that?

 

[tridon]

Didn't the german edition have all of that?

Did it? I was under the assumption that it still hasn’t been released (kinda like the Kill Bill Whole Bloody Affair).

Not positive. Maybe someone who has the German steelbook can chime in.
BUT - the full feature as it was seen in theaters was released in 2010 by Vivendi on Blu ray in the U.S. - trailers, intermission and all.

 

[Wreck]

good point @virkia maybe that text will be on a plastic slip.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure that I have that release, but I don't remember it playing out like the theatrical release. I'll have to check it out again.

 

[tha_lunatic]

50% of the back is black, hmm

 

[Noodles]

Not a fan of that... much prefer the UK and German steels.
