Very much deserved - THIS is how you do a steelbook

And to think that some people were happy with the cassette player version

I am happy with the cassette player version because it´s unique

 

[InAFalsetto]

I guess it's time for me to buy a copy

Won't regret it. It's easily a grail steelbook for me and I have loads of good ones in my collection.

Got that one too ... specifically for the novelty factor !

Yeah. But the price is "graily"

Really don't see the fuss about this release, I've got all 3 versions and don't find any of them to be that amazing

Just my opinion though

I love the cassette version, because it's different and very special. I regret not buying 2 copies of that release. When I saw the artwork I thought exactly like you and the most people, but when I got it I was just WOW. One of my favorite Steelbooks.

 

[SteelMadien]

It is a very nice steel. But there were others as well. The people have voted and GOTG BF edition is the best of 2015.

Those who have it, enjoy it. Those that need it good luck getting one.

This is not new news, but for me the Taiwan edition with WWA Steel (Cassette Steel) is one of the best release of GOTG. The Spot Gloss treatment is very nice and even though it is not the same walkman as in the movie, I appreciate that it is different and Taiwan did a Killer 1/4 Slip that goes with it. IMO After the grail release of ''Captain America Taiwan'' for their exquisite Slip, for me the GOTG Taiwan Slip is their ''2nd best ever slip design''.

But I do love as well the Blufans editions especially the UE, really nice also the touch on making different WEA Artwork for their blu-ray Disks, really love when a retailer does WEA Art Disks. not Crazy crazy about the Steel, it is very nice, but steel with borders are not my favorites but it all depends. I wish they would have used a different front Artwork for the steel as the Image used for the steel, is so commonly seen everywhere.

But it is one of the best releases for 2015.

Now for those who hate the cassette artwork, no need to start trashing my comments on it, to each his own and this is what is great about this forum we can all share our opinions respectfully.

Cassette version is ok, but could have been better if it matched with the movie (how hard is it for Disney to work things out with Sony?)
It looked far better in hand than the mock up though, but when the Blufans version was released, it was game over and a redemption to that cassette experience.

By the way happy new year @Actarus
you shoulda rallied your troops and voted for your lovely Kimchi

For me the Cassette version still rocks but it has to come with that Stunning Taiwan Slip Taiwan has created a Slip to elevate the release IMO

Thanks very much Charley and a Happy New Year to you as well

I did vote for one of Kimchis that I think is one of the best Fullslip Package using a WWA Steel for last year which was Cinderella KimchiCollection #03 - This Fullslip is just divine, it is breathtaking, such a little amazing Package

But now my love lays with the ''film arena Collection'' ever since they released their first Fullslip AASB, ever since the first release,
I have fallen for them and been devoted as well... I had the Award created for FAC back in April as I believed it deserved it,
and I am so proud of it, it is nice to see people sharing the Luv...so in Love with FAC
