Looks like it’s a rigid box like the collector’s editions we’ve been getting.
That’s what I thought. Plus the artcards look like they come in a pouch similar to those from the batman collectors editions also from WB. But there’s no mention of it just the 9 artcards

Unless the art cards are separate I really hope that’s in a slip box too. Makes sense to move onto that from the PET boxes for the GoT steels

Just got mine and pleased to say it survived the Amazon mailer completely unscathed. Slip is only thin cardboard but the embossed art is a nice touch and despite being flat matte on the steel it looks good in hand

Just realised the steel and slip make a fuller image (same as open but without the black bar spine)

Really nice release considering it’s matte and the slip is quite thin. The finish on the slip is nice (bossing/ metallic effect)

It does look pretty nice tbf, but think I'll wait for a price drop. Little disappointed it isn't a rigid slip like other WB releases.
 
Ordered 2 both arrived trashed.
I can commiserate. My first copy arrived damaged in a cardboard envelope that had no padding. My replacement finally arrived and of course the same cardboard envelope and worse damage! :banghead:

Did anyone here in the US receive a mint copy or luck into a box?

This needs to be the Amazon UK shipping manager in the garbage bag! :D

I had the exact same problem! First one was crushed so the spine was creased and the package that holds the cards was flattened a bit. Second was worse, one of the corners badly damaged (the envelope was damaged too). Third one I added gift packaging. They still sent it in an envelope, but one of the bigger ones so it's not such a tight fit. This one arrived mint. It had to travel to the Netherlands though, not all the way to the USA.
 
Mine arrived in the usual Amazon cardboard envelope but thankfully mint. I'm in the UK though, so yeah a journey across the pond I'd hate to think of the battering it would take :facepalm:

I’m glad you got a mint copy. I’m on the fence whether to try, again, or ask for a discount.
