Wow, love the front, hate the back. The spine should continue on the back like gotg, with ego in space or something. Don't remember groot with a match n dynamite in the film, zavvi cover makes more sense

October? That's great that means this should be ready for a GB on Feb 2018.

No 4K disc like the standard steelbook?

Nope, no 4K disc in the Blufans release

Expect to see the GB for this around mid September

Not sure if you know, but the 4k steelbook from Best Buy also has a 3D disc unlike the Zavvi release.

Shame they're unable to change the back... it really lets the steelbook down IMO.

They also responded to my choice of back art saying it's too crowded.

lol crowded!, same characters as on the front though

Well that's exactly their point. If there's any negative, it's that it's a little repetitive front and back.

Anyway, we have the awesome slips to see yet. And most of those complaining about the back are probably those who will keep it sealed and it would never see the light of day anyway!!!

Looks awesome

It's kinda interesting.... I care NOTHING for upgrading to 4K. And I mean like 0.000000000000%

Nothing.

To me, blu ray is fantastically clear on my 50 inch Plasma. Especially with any modern film, everything always looks damn near perfect.

I am not left wanting for anything more. No 3D. No 4K. Just give me standard 2D blu ray plus an ice cold frosty and I'm good.

All that other crap is the system just trying to squeeze more money out of me by getting me to buy into the newest gimmicky mish mash. No thanks I pay enough already.

 

[rschiks]

Where did the "tnt" and matchstick come from ? Can't remember that being in the film ? Blufans shooting themselves in the foot with this one then !? The 1st gotg steelbook aswell as "Oz the great and powerful" are two of the best steelbook artworks out there., full of detail, like a scene from the films.

You're right, it's not from the movie. I also can't remember seeing it. It's "just" a picture. More suitable would be the push button image from the original steel.

Exactly! I love my 50 inch 10 years old !!! plasma as well, fantastic picture we had a good times together but unfortunately after all these years the response time is higher and it´s leaving ghosts in picture so Im forced to upgrade, and it´s gonna be 4K, I don´t trust 3D in the future besides Im not a huge fan of 3D anyway. When did they stop making plasmas btw? It´s so sad

It could be that I'm not in a very good mood, so I apologize upfront by saying this.

By my definition a premium release should use premium options. In this case a UHD disc is available, so this premium release should contain a UHD, 3D blu-ray and a normal blu-ray.
I find it very strange I need to go to a BestBuy or Zavvi, which are not premium resellers (no offence), to get a 4K steelbook.
It should be the other way around.

I have no idea to be honest... I'm yet to see the movie, so wasn't aware it wasn't even from a particular scene or anything. All I know is that the image is from a Japanese poster.

Well that's exactly their point. If there's any negative, it's that it's a little repetitive front and back.

That I understand, but they said "crowded" rather than repetitive. There are a lot more negatives with their chosen back art though IMO... obviously they're not going to agree anyway, because they have a product to sell, so they're going to defend it no matter what.

Fingers crossed someone else gives GOTG2 the premium treatment, because the back art bugs me the more I look at it. GOTG is the only Marvel movie that I get premium editions for, so it needs to be perfect and something I absolutely love!

 

[nekromantik]

Its gonna be very expensive if I buy BF and then need to buy 4k Amray!

 

[DJHilalo]

Ok will 1-click this one too (Blufans are on the roll this year)

Have been on to blufans, told them the back art was ugly beyond belief, and challenged them to correct it as per the wishes of their fans and consumers !? Also asked them if they were struggling with their art dept and do they require some assistance as i know a few people who could help (Hdn !). Lol.

 

[thewoe]

Everyone expected blufans to save them.....

Appreciate you also reaching out to them, but unfortunately they've already said that the artwork is official/final and won't be altered... so the wait for a perfect steelbook continues.

 

[Starling]

Zavvi's offering over this all day long...and night..and into next week month and year.

 

[Noodles]

Just seen another update from BF on Facebook...

The official artwork for the movie doesn't offer such a design option, unforuantely. Furthermore, Marvel is extremely strict about any changes of their artworks. There are no much you can do about it and nothing for outsiders can comprehend.
