Got my set today and in hand a real let down. The box is a lot nicer than expected tbf but none of the slips are really that great (especially the blurry SL which I opened) and the Steelbook in hand just doesn't work. I think the embossed characters which I said from the start was an awful design choice makes the artwork darker and the characters even harder to really see (embossed title is nice though)

Ranking the 3 from the line so far

1st - Doctor Strange 2
2nd - Shang-Chi
3rd - GOTG Vol 3

Think it was @samdavies who said Manta could easily do a better release for this if they do go back to their discless line and I agree

I think FS is ok here, and DL is very nice and full of colors, I like DL the most here. But I agree on SL lol that one is bad. So dark that you can´t even perceive the depth.

But on the other hand SL Shang Chi is great.

Agreed. Opened mine today and the box is the best bit lol I've opened the FS, and apart from the front being a touch darker than I'd like, and the rest being bloody silver, not white, I like it.

Also agree the steel doesn't quite work. The characters are too shrouded in darkness for it work well, even though I do like the embossing and the purple colouring. Manta may well do better.

I’m the complete opposite to this take. Although the FS is too dark I think the rest is stunning. Unreal steel, DL and SL. Proper happy with them. DL and steel is my favourite release so far this year for premiums

1.guardians
2.strange
3.shang
 
I got this today and while I love the DL I’m not convinced on the steelbook, once in hand the front picture is really dark and the embossing on the characters seems random, oh well…

So really digg the colour pallete here, its striking. The lenti has good depth but the image isnt quite as sharp as i hoped for. The steelbook has a gorgeous finish but the image is a tad dark. Plus no it has no discs. I knew this before and bought them separate, but honestly at this retail price point paying arround €80 to get it without discs is quite expensive in my eyes. I understand "inflation" "movie rights" etc. But compared to the other 2 they where better. More "BANG" for your buck sort of say. Really have the feeling paying more and get less, wich is kind of underwelming

Anyway that doesnt keep us from buying these things:whistle:

Tell me about it ! I purchased from Amazon Japan the MovieNex that came with 4K + 3D + 2D discs set so I can insert some in my Boxset but it was expensive, cost me 85$ US EEK!

I did the same with Shang-Chi :bored:

But happy I was able to get the discs for them :happy:

Wish it was that cheap to UK.
Importing from Japan is £95 ish, sometimes just over the £100 mark

It is not cheap for sure but I just needed the 3D and Japan is the only one making it. I watched Guardians on 3D and the 3D was wicked !!! It really added another depth to the viewing experience. It was a great movie to watch in 3D !
