Just for the fun of it: Here's the German steelbook for comparison (I don't know if this was a special first print or not):

That's identical to the UK HMV Steelbook which is infinitely superior to this red piece of sh*t
 
Nothing wrong with the HMV MACHETE steelbook front artwork which fits in very well with the trashy grindhouse style of the film unlike this steelbook which is washed all over in red and with Lindsey Lohan on the front (WTF) . . . not to say that there's anything wrong with red as a background colour as there isn't but this is more than that and too much . . . in addition no real grindhouse style . . . and the only polite way to describe the back and inside is "a mess".
In truth, nothing much to recommend it apart from what could turn out to be a cool slipcase or two and the fact that it appears to be an exclusive (at the time of writing).
In conclusion, I'd say that this turkey is ripe for plucking and that those well-meaning but misguided Kimchi people should go back to the drawing board or employ another designer who knows what he or she is doing.

For proper Grindhouse style posters thank God for some of these little beauties:-

Is your point to belittle buyers of Kimchi products or to profess yourself a purist?

Yes, good morning, and to answer your question - Neither.
Just not convinced about this particular item (design, colour etc.) as well as sticking up for people like myself who bought the HMV MACHETE.
If that's not reason enough to express an opinion then I don't know what is.
 
I actually don't mind the slips

Like type b the most

Can't see it selling out so I'll wait for in hand shots
