Steelbook is sold out, however the slip version is still available for RC members

Of course anybody who bought the steelbook would have bought the slipcase for £1 more if they were available to everybody.

Nice, slipbox has Freddy embossed...

is the slipcase one of those really lame paper type ones Zavvi are famous for?

[davhyl]

but they are, aren't they? Every time I see one like it, I'm like, "oh, that must be a Zavvi one" and 99.9% of the time it's true
With these awful corners...

Just arrived.... Zavvi obviously haven't mastered the slip cover yet, but the steelbook itself is a pleasant surprise. Nice bit of spot gloss on the blades and not that bad at all.... still, pity about the slip!

Zavvi not involved with making the slipcovers
It's a Warner release and they arranged the making of the slip
Then offered to Zavvi as a exclusive in UK

 

[spookz]

Well, whoever decides to sell them is not doing a great job.... inferior quality..... Zavvi should just say no to selling it with the slip. I'm not a fan of cards, posters etc, but if you're going to sell it with a slip cover, try make it sturdy and not cheap! I'd rather they didn't try at all if they all look like they have done recently, and just sell the steelbook.

I think this has my new favourite J card "He plays the ready steady of the hottie mcsmarty" "ever-say-die Freddy"

 

[virkia]

For the price of the package the slipcase is just fine . . . the quality no different to the similar priced similar style dozen released towards the end of 2016.

Why have steelbooks always been so bad for this movie? Halloween has had numerous and some of their artworks have been really nice... this film is fantastic, there needs to be a better artwork!!!

I like both that have been released so far tbh, but yeah can you imagine them all being issued Star Wars style with their original art...
(obviously Dream Warriors would be given some sh** teaser poster just for all us OCD people )

I believe the non slipcase version has the rating logos printed (just watched a german unboxing video but didn't understand what the guy meant) while the slipcase version doesn't, am I right, or are they on removable stickers?

Thanks for your help, guys!

I'm sorry for my stupid question. I didn't think I simply could click on the pic to get other ones... Damn I'm too old for internet.
Thanks a lot for your kind answer!
