I'm sure it has been asked, but does anyone know the finish before I go for the Bestbuy one?
Nope, but there hasn't been a glossy (or spot glossy) UK disney steel for a while now. So unfortunately I'd expect this will be matte, probably with a debossed title. Go for the bestbuy, it looks fantastic, plus 4K.

Matte finish, debossed title, and colourful!

This is the first Disney and/or Pixar steelbook I’ve picked up in a long while after the recent lacklustre releases (still irked that we got such a dull and washed out Toy Story 4 steelbook to this day - here’s hoping it gets a proper release one day!) and it feels a lot closer to a return to form that stands up to some of the earlier titles.

But I thought the reason you guys pay extra is for the privilege of not having gloss and this time the lack of a 4K disc. :dunno:

Full matte? The Best Buy version has metallic elements. It isn’t full gloss, or at least my copy isn’t. It’s more like the semi-older Zavvi Disney/Pixar SteelBook releases.

No metallic elements unfortunately...
I was pretty happy with it before realising the US version has a better finish! I'll settle for it though, the artwork is pretty on point, we have a title and it's on the 'better' side of the Disney/Pixar steelbooks.

Just a massive shame we've had so many mismatches along the way - remember when the line started and pretty much all of the steelbooks released were spectacular?!

That’s disappointing!

Sadly, I wasn’t collecting, then. I have managed to buy some of the classics.

Even after that, the non-US releases often had unique embossing/debossing and metallic elements.
