Riddler, thanks for the pics. I am sorry to say this....the box slip is horrendous. It is just a sorry excuse for some pretty mundane looking adverts. I am canceling.

Looking at the actual pics, the ads and slipbox ruins what would've been an amazing looking steelbook on the outside. I wished it was a full slipcover with lenticular on front and book behind steelbook.

Can the adverts be removed easily?

Now the Chinese title is covered fully by the adverts !!

The Tw Hobbit is being released as a regular, non-lenticular steel with 1/4 slip. It'll look very much like Resident Evil Retribution or Underworld Awakening. Nothing like this release.

Let's not hit the panic button folks.

I'm not so sure about that Rob - and don't mean to derail this thread, but the latest pics on the retailers for Hobbit TW are all about the box, not slip. Take a look at the Hobbit thread.

The p club sticker can be removed. The advert along the bottom is under the shrinkwrap...

Here's one more...steelbook without the lenticular sticker...
And chanfm, you are right...the slipbox kinda ruins the steelbook artwork from the outside.

I am speechless....horrid, horrid, horrid. I am not in a position to say this, I suppose, but I feel rather embarassed for JSDVD!

Sure looks like one.

I think the UK wins this one (apart from the art book).

That's the biggest downside to slipboxes. It hides all flaws (i.e. dents, scratches, etc) if any unless one opens it.

It should be a problem of the distributor not JSDVD.

Yep it is...

 

[TedGeorge]

I wonder how many will go into sale. Do you know average number of steelbooks, that new blockbusters have printed? 20 000 worldwide? 50 000 worldwide? Anyone got any intel about this subject matter?

 

[Alienkidmj12]

hope mine aint dented.....ill cry

 

[lgans316]

This does come with the booklet right?

Edit: Looks like it does. So the disappointment is caused due to the box / slip and not by what is inside the box?

 

[earthscope]

Got to agree with AA !

That box with all what's going on, on it is absolutely Horrible. Mine is on its way so too late to cancel.
I can do without the free gifts, just give me an awesome slip.

I hope The Hobbit is not covered in stickers like this???

I also think its a lazy effort. It would have been so awesome with a full lenticular slip cover.

Cancelled as well. Now i'm waiting on The Hobbit pics.

You're right mate, my mistake. I hadn't seen that more recent pic and was going by JSDVD's images. Still not confirmed though?
