Its the same World Wide all steelbooks are the same
I don't think Disney will act now considering its probably already in production stage
Explains why they kept all from displaying the Artwork until now
At least we know imagine if we only found out when we got delivery

Youre probably right nfortunately. But I dont think I even want it anymore..

Would be awesome if everyone could get together and seriously cancel every damn order in protest
That way they wouldnt have a choice in doing something about it.

Spoiler

first time i ever really totally LMAO at a steelbook design

....still cant believe its actually real

 

[elchipo]

Order cancelled ... too bad.

"jesus christ" thats what the designer of this must have been saying after putting his crack pipe down thinking he had come up with a real concept art.
only problem this is a film about space etc and he chose to try to promote the sound track over the film its a film set in fooking space for gods sake!

I to date have never ever cancelled a steel purely on the art only problem is this is sooo far out beyond the galaxy and pure pile of steaming turd that on the front of this steel would have improved it.

my god i'm pissed that they wrecked this the old holding art would have been fine at least would have tied in with style of avenger's assemble steel but noooo.

i really hope someone at disney gets the bullet over this it deserves nothing less and normally i wouldn't wish that on anyone.

we have steel of the year comp we should know have a turd of the year comp as well to embarrass studios into acting as well and i think this steel would win this as well!

what do you think wreck can we do turd of the year steel as well please to try get changes from the studios please?

Wow, I hate complaining, but seriously?! This is atrocious. I knew it was never going to be the original movie poster, but surely someone can see that this waste of a steelbook would look a terrible piece of art in comparison? I loved this movie so much and was really looking forward to receiving the steel book as a collectible of this movie, but this has really deflated me. Really, really disappointed.

 

[glennturner21]

mmm. would be good if had the title on the spine at least. As i havent seen this yet i am going to have to cancel as this currently means nothing to me and for £24 odd quid i am not going to get this. may re consider when the prices drops later

 

[Peenuts]

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

Fully agree!! Big bright inside artwork and this is a winner 4 me.

 

[sirdizzy]

I actually kind of love it, I must be alone in this.

 

[Stevieboy]

Am I missing something? Surely this artwork is a f*****g joke It doesn't even have guardians of the galaxy anywhere? Having not seen this film yet as I WAS gonna wait for me steelbook to arrive, I assume this walkman plays a part in the movie?!?!?!

 

[dLux]

Couldnt they atleast have made it look like Quills walkman? This is nothing like it. What a poor atempt, they didnt even try.

 

[Billz]

I actually kind of love it, I must be alone in this.

Yes, you really are.

 

[Snollygoster]

The only way this could work is with a slipcover, But Id rather have this art as a slipcover and Guardians art on the actual steelbook.

Who thought this would appeal to customers?

 

[MrFurious]

Hopefully there will be a smart Lenticular Slipcover , this is a shambles...

 

[Troll2Fan]

Yes, you really are.

No, he's not.

 

[Basil]

order cancel request sent, wonder how long it take to reply saying done got feeling going to be some hours as people exit in the masses.

perhaps they may get the message on this one.
suspect this may go down to £9.99 over time not that i would ever buy it if was that because if people do they will never learn just my opinion, goto stop this trash.

My only concern is a plain silver finish being a bit blah. Wasn't really bothered about a steel for this one but I can appreciate something a little more unique and judging by everyone in here losing their minds, I shouldn't have trouble picking one up when it drops.

 

[chunk]

Oh wow! That's crazy funny!! I really like it. Considering the last non title mavel steelbooks we've had (as disney can't afford to put different language titles on their European steelbooks, disney only having billions in their pockets I can see why they struggle to cough up the cash) so I wasn't expecting a title on the front or spine I think they have come up with a clever work around.. I am hoping that the back art will have the characters and be very colourful with no credits at the bottom.. love the front and spine but if it wraps around then I'll be a little disappointed.
I also agree that even if they can't use Sony on the Walkman they could have at least made the colour correct to the film. I like the fact that you wouldn't know what the movie was unless you'd seen it.. kinda reminds me of those movie t shirts FP made where you'd only know it was a movie tee if you'd seen the film like the overlook hotel etc. I really hope they give us so great back and inside art.. definitely keeping my order

It might be my age but I really enjoyed the little retro aspect of the film and I think that's why I like the steel

 

[Nobby]

First I thought someone is kidding us with this artwork but Saturn.de website shows the same for the Germans Steelbook

 

[SaberTooth]

i'm getting about 50 updates a minute on my feed for this thread.... scuse me while i take the hands-down winner of "worst steelbook of the year" off my watch list lol

 

[whysoserious?]

i love this artwork, have not seen the film , is this design anything to do with the movie?
