You could remove both the front and back and swap them round. The inside artwork would be wrong but you'd just simply need to print of the sane artwork and add inside. That way the everything will be correct with the sleeve fitting on perfectly.

All perfect apart from you'd then have embossing on the back and none on the front.

Is this why people order multiple copies.

No you couldn't. This is because the spine/hinge (middle) area on both sides being non-symmetrical, the best you could do is just rotating the steel so that its back side looks at you.

You'll not be able to swap side parts of the steel, they will not fit the spine.

That's impossible. How would it open? The opening side of the new 'swapped' front cover would now be on the spine side. It's not like there would even be anything to hold it in place. It just wouldn't work.

spine would still end up on the right side ( but reading bottom to top instead of the right way)

ooh no 3D Might have to get the Italy version instead

So all you'd be doing is turning the spine and inside art upside down???

Me Like it!

thats not what im doing lol, im just explaining to Jb162009 thats what he would end up with if he changed the front and back covers like he said, all im going to do is display the back cover with the j-card displaying the title

 

[blurayisnice]

What you also can do: scan the back, print it out and stick it to the front. Do the same with the front. Problem solved!

personally I've never done it but I thought it would but I guess it wouldn't. I never thought it would of been that hard but then again they haven't designed the steel so that the backs and front can be swapped.

I love the artwork and ill be leaving mine as it comes lol

Not worried about the price on a steelbook as long as its quality like this
I only buy if I like the film....

 

[RajLondon]

You guys remember when someone screwed up the inside artwork for
IM 1 & 2? How they were reversed?

Maybe someone's done the same thing with Zavvi, put the back as the front and vice versa.

 

[lgans316]

Hoping for that to happen. Front to Brong and Back to Front.

 

[Apinamakina]

Artwork is fricking terrible!

 

[SimonLDT]

Must admit, the artwork is really good. Nice and clean, no text or logos. Can be displayed either side too. Still not happy about the price though, but there is time to change/cancel for better editions.

 

[jimmyv]

Is it just me or on that back cover image does it look like Stark is about ready to pop out his middle finger and flip everybody off.


Once you see it....

 

[Pipper]

I like the artwork as it is because if the back was actually on the front then the only embossing would be the title, like IM and IM2, or nothing. I'd much rather see the chest arc embossed, it would be more interesting.

 

[darczap]

I placed my order last night. There's no way in hell I'm missing this, regardless of how expensive it is. This art looks better than what the German art will be, which could have printed text. No thanks.

Think I'm going to cancel my German order of this and stick with this for now and keep an eye on upcoming Asian and US steels of this!
