May i ask you what exactly the one on the left is? It's probably an australian release, but what exactly? (steelbook, full-slip, etc..).
Aaaand you're missing the SDCC-exclusive DVD lenticular slip, would fit perfectly in your comparison!

That's the Australian metal slipcase

Its thread is here FYI.

Thanks man, but it's not available anymore unfortunately..

Nevermind, isn't one of my top fav's to pick up since it's only a metal slipcase..

 

[IRON MAN]

No problem @monsterzebra

I have just taken delivery of these but after all the hype I'm not that impressed. The Lenti is just grim.

Lenticular turned up today. I still think the comic con one is the bestest

Did you cut the bottom of the comic con lenticular to make it fit a blu ray? Maybe I'm wrong, looks like some text is missing on the back is all.

@LloydJBailey

yep that's exactly what I did. Customised it a bit and put my Play.com version in there. All I lost from the back were some credits.

Good to see everyone getting their copies of this without issue, after the Kimchi delivery disaster...

For the clueless people who don't quite get how things work in life.

When something (a steelbook in this case) is overhyped, you expect it to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then when you get it, it doesn't live up to your expectations and you'll feel slightly disappointed. When people say how bad something is, you expect the worst. Then once received, it (most likely) isn't as bad as people were making out.

So in reality, this steel hasn't lived up to its expectation. This doesn't mean it's bad, it was just hyped up too much. The ones who haven't received it need to pipe down, stop fuelling the hype fire and expect the worst. That way it won't be anywhere near as bad as they think when they receive it.

It'll still be a great steel! It's just not the best to some people.

I thought we were collecting blu ray steelbooks and not blu ray lentis . The steel itself is great.

Nail on head for me.

The main concern here, will be for those that do not open their steelbooks. I have said before. Kimchi has the best Lenti, but the steelbook itself is average in design (something Zavvi could have released)

The BluFans has an average looking Lenti (which would have been received better, had it not been for the Kimchi release) but the steelbook is hands down the winner.

I decided to purchase the BF when I saw the artwork for the steel, not the Lenti. IM Blu fans is a much better purchase once opened and enjoyed, that's for sure.

Exactly my thoughts. I guess some people are actually lenticular collector and steelbook collector. Now wait for the famous quote "To each there own" which IMO is used too much here to justify anything [emoji12]

These are insanely beautiful!!!!

Well, another one certainly is "hey, after all it's blufans you just have to wait"

[HUBMUSWELL]

CONGRATS! @morfeusz

 

[PoisonClan]

doesn't need to be justified the lenticular is the icing and the steelbook is the cake
