Arrow are showing Zavvi how to do it in my opinion.

Because zavvi listens to hdn if everyone wishes an artwork change and arrow dont? ;-)


Edit: i will order this steelbook for sure. I like both artworks, the initial one and the new one.

More fantastic news from Arrow.

More bad news for my bank account though.

Was that really a cover?

 

[Menouthis]

That artwork tho......

 

[hiphopnrap]

I know it's off subject but I hope these guys pick up The Re-Animator
I know they would do a fantastic job...
I didn't know if it was worth a new thread...?
If this needs moving or deleted,that's fine..
Thanks guys

I'll be giving this a miss. I was really excited about this release and its cool retro artwork but this new cover is rubbish. They may both have been original posters but the difference is, one of them is a dull unimaginatively structured poster. If the amaray has the other cover I will get that.

 

[Man of Steel]

Awful change of artwork if you ask me!

 

[Sairentu]

Like this art more than the first one

It's not the better of the two but the artwork still makes sense to me, what with the plant and the duplication of the characters... I'm still in.

No, most of zavvi steelbook releases are already out on amaray which alot of people have already bought and you get the same disc in the steelbook thats in the amaray with nothing extra for the high price you are paying where as arrow releases are usually first time on blu ray with lots of new stuff on the disc or discs, arrow over zavvi any day for me

Shockingly bad artwork. Looks like the kind of cover art id see on some unknown poundland dvd.

of course mate, my last post was meant with a lot of irony. i <3 arrow video for their releases, and try to get everything from them.

What's going on? looks like Amazon are releasing the 1978 version and Zavvi the 1956 one.

no, i guess none of the two steelbooks is exclusive to amazon or zavvi...

Yes they are not exclusives so will be available at both retailers.

Well I love the artwork! That spine color is great. And a metal finish too? Sounds awesome, hopefully that means it will be highly glossy.

Never seen the film either.

Ya i know it was bud, i just wanted to have a moan at zavvi and hope they read this post, arrow do give us a bit more for our hard earned money it's time zavvi did.

Personaly I think the blue artwork on the standrd bluray release from Arrow is looking superior to this, they should use that one.

 

[noeldoran]

plus cant seem to find 1978 edition on zavvi now....

 

[paulboland]
