I'd like to thank @Bar81 for his review of Ninja Scroll and I got what could have been last remaining stock. I did think it would never show as there was a good few weeks of nothing arriving until today.

It's absolutely stunning and for a 2012 release, you just cannot expect any better. Puts modern steels to shame. Magnificent.

One of my favorite films, why did I never ever get this before and risk never having it in my collection. Dodged a bullet I did, yes :thumbs:

So, now we head back to the present - another steelbook exclusive to Best Buy in the US, what must be the 37th or so steelbook of the the classic Snyder adaptation of Miller's 300:

Back of J card - yes, there's some murder in this one:

300_02_reduced.jpg

Gorgeous art - in fact a part of what is now becoming more of a recent trend - wraparound art, a trend that I'm a big fan of. I know some people want this to be glossy but I think that would be a mistake - the matte finish perfectly suits the color scheme on this one, particularly the dark gold-ish background which is very difficult to accurately reflect in photos:

The back features even more gorgeous art showing the full breadth of the Spartan's flowing cloak:

The spine being key here in linking the wraparound art - a little busy but the art demands it:

300_05_reduced.jpg

Just killing it on the inside art - classic scene and of course, excessive lens flare is a must:

For the total package (the gold background is consistent across the whole - it's hard to photograph but the front right of steelbook in the pic below is the most accurate color wise to the real thing):

THIS....IS....SPARTAAAAAAA!

A stunning release all around (the movie looks incredible in 4K as well) and the creme de la creme of 300 steelbooks. Loving the wraparound steelbooks that are closing out 2020 - first the amazing GiTS, then Halloween (didn't get that one as I don't like horror movies but it looks amazing) and now 300. Can't wait for Total Recall to end 2020 with a bang in December.
