Yep, totally agree. So much more interesting artwork could have been used.Inside is ok but the front artwork is boring. The back is ..wait it is a plain coloured canvas.

If Zavvi were releasing this, people would be going wild, saying its dreadful !!

$30 direct shipping stops me!Appreciate the tag @Actarus . I'm thinking of ordering from the website directly. Anything stopping you from doing that?
I agree with the artwork for the steelbook and with zavvi you wouldnt get any extras which is why i think its different. Many of us will never see the actual steel as it will remain sealed. So hopefully the entire package that FA does will be great as it usually is. So that is why there is a huge difference in the perception of the release.Yep, totally agree.

Kimchi has done time and time again, it is not unusual for a retailer to release Exclusive packages with custom made SlipCovers, Great Quality Photo cards and other bonus items and also numbering cards and sticker for the slip... they have done extensive exclusive release even though they are using WWA steel which basically we would have bought, one way or another, but at least this way we are getting really nicely and thoughtfully put together Packages at a very decent Price. Kimchi has done it, Nova does it with their Nova Choice Line, Blufans do it with their OAB, so it is not unusual and if it is their strategy to enter the market of Exclusive packages this way I give them Praise as they are succeeding. And they have proved they are worthy of competition on the exclusive market using the WWA steel as so far every release has been a tremendous success. Maybe in the Future they will do like every other and end up putting their toe in the WEA Pool but so far they have released exquisite Packages that are worthy to be part of a Collector's Collection. If it ain't for you, you don't have to purchase it.
Now, I am not interested in starting any kind of "war" but I keep on seeing the almost exact same centens "If Zavvi were releasing this, people would be going wild, saying its dreadful" in non-Zavvi threads. For me a bad artwork is a bad artwork on any "side" Zavvi, Filmarena, Plain, Kimchidvd, HDZeta, Blufans etc I dont care. There might be other reasons I choose where I place an order also, but thats up to each one to make their own decisions. Constructive criticism is fine by me, just saying. Peace!

I'm not saying what they are doing now is bad, simply that to take it to the next level they need to release real exclusives. The goodies may be excellent but the Steelbook quality has generally been average so far, mainly because they are shared runs and Film Arena have little say. There have been some nice ones, Dracula Untold and The Maze Runner are both nice efforts but stuff like Commando and Heat is just poor. It doesn't matter about the quality of the package if the Steelbook itself is lacklustre but that is just my opinion.
