Anyone preordered a steelbook that looked great in photos but when they received it, it was truly disappointing?

Too many to mention, but one that immediately springs to mind due to me just recently picking it up... It (1990) - dull matte finish and no artwork on the back. :wtf:

One comes to mind. Hellboy Best Buy Steelbook.
Truth is it was a Blind buy that I had high hopes for but I personally was disappointed with it.

Yes, loads, as someone already mentioned - mostly let down by a poor (streaky matte) finish . . . apart from that they would've been perfectly fine.

Another thread for steelbooks that turned out better in the flesh than expected would be interesting too.

The Zavvi Maleficent that was white until it started shipping and then the art changed. The front is fine, the back looks like the forgot that’s two sides to a Steelbook.

The Zavvi "Maleficent" steelbook is magnificent . . . the white wouldn't have come close and certainly no chance of twin-bossing with that design:-
