Bit busy the artwork but I like it

Seriously?!
This artwork is a joke

It's not what I expected from this long rumoured release, thought it would be more minimalistic and creative like the American Psycho and Reservoir Dogs steels but it's still nice

If the UK don't get it though then it'll be a pass for me. By the time I would actually have time to watch the 4K disc no doubt Manta will have released theirs (I've still not seen Reservoir Dogs in 4K)

Def gonna need this

I hate such restrictive exclusivity. UK like Steelsbooks too lionsgate.

Also I guess this means no whole bloody affair?

I'm going to smash into Lionsgate HQ in my ***** Wagon

You must not be a fan of Matt Taylor, then

Did he do the Expendables 1-4 steelbook too? Looks a similar style. I'm gonna get so fleeced on ebay now with living in the UK.

You mean this one? Pretty sure that’s Mexifunk.

I will be posting group buys for the Lionsgate titles in January, if that helps.

Yeah I love that one, ok great.

It's a bit of an odd choice to put the sword on the slip because when you take the sword away it's obviously not going to look as good.

Feels like Lionsgate have become the new Mondo X, and I'm here for it... so long as they also release them in the UK!

Now these have 4K releases wonder if Manta Lab will do them?

It's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to get this haha

Fairly confident they will next year

Yeah tbh same here. If these are only staying in the US and the new decision to only sell through Lionsgate then they can go f**k themselves. I can’t support that.

Like I said before I do like both the KBs but imo Vol 2 looks the better out of the 2

I’d also like Manta to use that same artist for American psycho and RD to do the steel and then they can use poster arts on the slips

 

[sbarker]

I'm on the fence, don't hate them or love them and will probably skip as they'll be extortinate to get in the UK but they at least look like someone put some thought into them even if they're not going to appeal to everyone.

As long as it's not stencil/pop art or a doorknob, that needs to stop.

The links are active again, just preordered both volumes

80 orders in 15 minutes between the two of mine, I'm leaving this here so anyone buying later could compare their order number to these.
We still don't know how many copies they make...

I was wondering if the "word had gotten out" about their site - no small feat, IMO, to soft launch a site and have it be visible enough a short time later to do a volume of orders.
