Please keep us posted guys - I'm interested to hear what you get.
The only re-issue I was aware of (in terms of two different editions) with a crackle cover was the 10,000 BC steelbook.
But that was differentiated with a new edition (non-crackle) that sold at Media Markt stores at first.
Curious if amazon.de has their facts wrong and if they have indeed done a reprint...

will do, as soon as I received them I'll post here..
but there's one question from me, is it come with slipcover? if this come with slipcover how come the amazon employee can check is it the crackle or non-crackle? according to Ross post that they will check the stock and look the crackle one, does it mean the employee must open it first?![]()

You can see at either end of the slip cover if it is crackled or not as it along the edges too - so no need for opening![]()
The slipcover is opened at both ends and you can tell through the shrinkwrap that the steelbook has the crackle lacquer without tearing it open. I have pictures of this somewhere on my computer, if only I can find it. FYI - I am 4 for 4 on getting the crackle steels for this title on 2 different orders. Not sure if they are clearing stock or simply getting more but I bet the chances of getting one is pretty good right now unless someone got on and ordered a few hundred LOL...

Hi Ross, I did exactly same like you did, I email them about is there any certainty to get this crackle one but their reply still not give certain answer
Here's their reply from them :
At their website there are 2 different cover, crackle and normal.. I just hope they send me the crackle one since they already ship to me a few hours ago, but if they send the normal one, well there will be no big deal to me also considering it's low price![]()
Thanks for the picture bcdavis..
Ross, I think we will get this![]()
my delivery due date is 23rd but it's in the uk ready to goYou know the first edition is the crackle right? what exactly you received?I ordered crackle effect and got the first edition, so irritating...emailing amazon now.

You should know that they all come with a cardboard slipcover. And the way to tell if the steelbook is the crackled lacquer version is by looking at the top and bottom of the steelbook without tearing open the shrinkwrap or foil.
