Found a video from the Swiss Edition. I think the U.K is the same but with a spine title.

Still can't believe these are still instock, very strange for a Marvel release, there must of been alot of cancellations.

4K finally dispatched!

Me neither, I was surprised they were still in stock when I finished work. For them to still be in stock is crazy. Unless Zavvi found a few more boxes next to where they hide Mad Max.

I will be sending mine straight back if it doesnt have a title on the spine

Are you going by that Video? Switzerland and maybe Germany - France are getting titleless....

 

[virkia]

Poor unboxing guy . . . having kittens with his spine (lol).
Just get the one from the U.K. or the Czech Republic

Anyway, steelbook undeniably cool . . . an acceptable very different alternative to the one from China which just happens to be one of the better steelbooks produced showing just how good original poster artwork can look on metal if designed to fit well and finished 'proper'.

--------------------

Speaking for myself I'd like to see two editions of this same steelbooks . . . but precisely NOT the same two editions that we are being offered here (and for the other big three disc release titles) . . .
1) One disc - 2D only steelbook - for those who will never adopt 3D at home and who will not be adopting 4K UHD in the foreseeable future. Price? £18.99 max. would be fair.
3) Three discs - 2D + 3D + 4K UHD steelbook - for those that demand a fully loaded release. Price? £29.99 max. would be fair.

Czech Republic confirmed spine title in pics way back when so UK release will 100% have spine title.

100% agree!!!

Just noticed it back in stock on the Zavvi site (3d&2d) - ordered, finally

 

[Punker76]

It's back in stock because it's the WORST possible art

Best I have seen so far!

Seems like it'll be spot gloss unlike US/CAN which are full gloss.

 

[tono06]

i dont know but the DON'T PUSH lettering make me think this is another movie...............

 

[virkia]

Screen grabs giving an idea of the first class creative 'bossing on the front:-

NB: These few images are of the US edition which looks to me ever so slightly different to our release here in Europe.
Different how?
- Possibly US finish more glossy
- Both with twinbossing and without the regular framing border which would have messed with the artwork.
- Euro/Asia release de-bossed "DO NOT PUSH !". US looks flat to me.
- Both with embossed Baby Groot and red button base
- Both with de-bossed corner rivets and vertical slot above the button

Mine's in the post so these are just observations based on photos . . .

In conclusion: both

 

[Punker76]

1. Doesn't resemble the bomb at all - didn't it have two buttons?
2. Tape was meant to go over the button, not to leave a note.
3. Groots sizing is all wrong.
4. It just looks frackin' baby-ish.

No amount of "first class creative bossing" can sprinkle glitter on this turd.

Sorry to go on and on but as I have EVERY Marvel release in both WWA and/or premium.... it genuinely aggrieves me to have had to cancel this one

I can confirm that the "DO NOT PUSH !" on the US version is indeed flat.

 

[Starling]

All the other versions with no spine title and no bossing you can keep.

UK version wins this battle hands down (if it has both).

Pretty sure the US is spot gloss too but the matte parts look more of a zero varnish than our one which looks more matte like finish

So you cancelled this but kept Zavvi Ant-Man? I feel for you, I really do.

Although loosely you make some valid points, I don't see how number 4 is valid whatsoever when the film features a) Baby Groot and b) a bomb, where both are heavily tied into the plot.
