OMG! This completely blew me away! I love this movie and I love the soundtrack. and this compliments the Awesome Mix Vol.1 cassette tape that I already have. I'm still keeping this pre-order.
If only it were blue and the cassette design is closer to what is in the movie, it would be perfect!
hoping for some country to release it with a free headphone gift.
 
I would say I am neutral with art I dont like it but I also don't hate it!! It's alright not great, but with Disney being such a controlling company I can see this on other releases as well!! At least North America will hopefully have the title though which would make it a little better!! I must say place holder art was amazing too bad though!!
 
Brave move! I appreciate that they've tried something different but with this being such a huge release I feel this is a missed opportunity as that's on FUGLY looking steel. :wtf:

Assuming this is WWA like the rest of the Marvel series where going to need on Epic full/lenti slip from Kimchi/Novamedia to cover that eyesore up!!! :bag:

I hope North America go with something completely different as debossed title on the front will probable look even worse, if not at least the poorer finish of the BB FS versions won't come into play considering this will be mostly bare metal finish.:p
 
Jesus Christ what the hell is that :|

You want to know the worst part about the artwork? It's obviously been done for Europe so it's cheaper for them to make, no spine title or front title means they don't need to translate it, the colours are bland and they don't have to waste there time with all the different European territories.

Look I know Zavvi isn't responsible for this but as a company selling someone elses product for them surely they have the power to turn around and say "Hey, look I know we are selling this for you and we are very happy you chose us to sell though exclusively in the UK but people aren't reacting positively to this and there's a ton of cancellations coming in, I think you guys need to rethink this, we are just trying to help because if people don't buy them we are going to have to reduce the price to move units meaning less money in your pockets".

They did this with Frozen, Monsters University, Iron Man 3, Thor 2 (the back...yuck)...with how fun and colourful Guardians of the Galaxy was I really think this draws the line.

As a community can't we do something about this, maybe not for this steelbook but make sure it doesn't happen again. Surely there must be someone to contact other then Zavvi which again isn't fully there fault.

As someone else has said the steelbook for the sequel is going to look horrible alongside this.
 
I think it would not look bad if it was the actual color of the Walkman in the film. Also some badass interior artwork like the movie poster would vastly improve this release

I actually want to cry. Just read the other threads about it being the same in North America and the finish on them which I imagine will be the same on this one. Still don't save it.
I want to see what they use for the back and if they go with a poster art like what the original place holder art was or some of the other posters, if they do what they did with iron man 3 then we should try and get them to change the art around but I think the back will also be cassette tbh. Real shame, like I said before this design works with the cd soundtrack which does look awesome but it's just not working on steelbook for me.
Marvel & Disney please take note of these threads and listen to your customers. People are already cancelling and it's caused pandemonium on here today with the art reveal.

I don't know what to say. Is it really, really clever or just really, really dumb?

It's gimmicky and a bit sentimental, but it doesn't make me think Guardians of the Galaxy.
 
Noooooooooooo! What the hell is that yes its different but doesn't make it good and a lot of emphasis on the bloody tape my memory must be bad but was the tape the best thing about the film even has the name of the god dam tape on there but not the title of the film freaking hate it one bad artwork replace previously bad artwork and that colour in hand is going to suck big time. One and only reason pre-order not getting cancelled is just to complete the marvel collection and I love the movie.
