Researcher bro, Did you receive your copy? Post pics mate. If it's lenticular, and 2D + 3D. I am also buying from FK before stock runs out.

 

[Researcher]

Got the steelbook Looks good and feels heavy in hand, which is always a good thing

Glad to have received this - will compare with the UK copy once that's out

 

[Pieter V]

Thanks. I knew that had to be lenticular as well.

Researcher you should get more involved with India's suppliers and may be influence to package future Steelbooks with some Hindi slips... I reckon they would look awesome.

Yup, I stand corrected. Was hoping it was a lenticular, but the pre-order pic was totally not! Like the lenti all in all

Mate, I would love to be able to do that. I completely dig what Alex is doing with the Singapore Hobbit, and can only wish that I had that kind of time and more importantly, the connects!

And I agree, sanscrit script would totally rock on these steels mate

 

[amigoatul]

hey can you post the actual front and back cover pics?

 

[alumini2004]

Hope the hobbit one is also lenticular....

If you're referring to pics of the open steel, I'll do that once the rest of my orders are in (i have the UK, taiwan releases coming in) just to be sure. But I know for a fact hat below the lenti card, is the same artwork on the front, if that helps.

Hope the hobbit one is also lenticular....

Unlikely, though I may be wrong again. The Asian releases don't have a lenti on Hobbit, and UK doesn't seem to be sporting one either. If the Indian Hobbit release comes with a lenti, this could well be a breakthrough for the Indian market! :movie:

So this one is actually 2 disk edition, unlike what we were thinking before.

We've got a 3D blu ray and a 2D blu ray with movies on both and bonus content to boot

Not very different from what we were thinking before, except that the DVD copy is missing..

 

[lgans316]

May I know which Steelbook edition had the DVD copy included?

 

[crossbow]

None IMO. Confusion was there because Steelbook spine in image was mentioning 3-disks. and in description everywhere it was given 2 disks.

 

[lgans316]

Maybe 3D 2-disc was misread as 3-disc.

 

[Researcher]

May I know which Steelbook edition had the DVD copy included?

It sure seemed like it'll have 3 discs, but I guess I was wrong there (wasn't the first time ). And the spine did say 3 disc collection

 

[Researcher]

Here are the open pics folks

 

[lgans316]

Thanks mate for the pics. Wish the Steel had a glossy finish or at least some glossy effects which could made this look stunning.

I agree completely. The neon whale was crying out loud for the glossy effect

I do like the fact hat the artwork is consistent all through the steel, but surely they could have done a better job of the finish. My pictures aren't great though, so do expect a little more from this in hand
