By bumping this thread you guys have spoilt my bank holiday mood.

 

[satanclaus]

Yep, I've had despatch messages too. Which is annoying, because I'd meant to cancel...

A birthday present for the wife, her first steel

Nice finish, no embossing or debossing which I think suits the steel.

The inside artwork seems to be the highlight with recent Fox releases (Legend and The Thin Red Line being good examples), it looks very nice here too. The front and back aren't that bad either, I think the shade of green used is much better than the original images we saw.

 

[Basil]

yep mine turned up today looks nice.

Thanks for the pics! The colours look really nice, but the artwork still does absolutely nothing for me... I usually like minimal designs, but that is just TOO minimal and doesn't really say much/anything about the film itself imo.

I'll wait on this one and pick it up once it lands in the bargain bin.

 

[Sigill]

Not a big fan of this, the colour is nice but the artwork is too dull.

 

[kron]

Well the inside looks nice! The outsides not to my liking (to put it politely) so sadly it's another pass.

All images can be clicked on for a closer view. They are all high res and can be viewed at full scale.

Below are shots to help show the finishing on the steel.

Alright, the inside artwork is very nice. However once again they tease us by providing a glossy slip and a matte finish! I might have caved with a gloss finish as I think the artwork is alright, but it was not meant to be :/

Lazy & dull outer artwork i'm putting my disc into my dutch metalpack

Is the UK BD still censored like the DVD was?

Yes it is

 

[satanclaus]

The steelbook version is around an hour shorter than the Digibook version; what's the actual difference between them?

 

[rj531]

This one would have been better with gloss and debossing

 

[Dubliner1]

This one would have been better with gloss and debossing

Agreed...and maybe using the original sleeve as artwork?....

Can anyone tell us if this is a brand new transfer, or the crappy old one?
