ZAVWEL54 worked for me just now, so I did a pre-order--though it feels like 2,000 might be rather generous for this one. (But I'm usually wrong about those predictions...)
 
Now they have gone TOO FAR messing around with Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS!
First colorization, then pop music soundtrack....
Now they are making the actors cartooons?!!!!!!
:rofl::LOL:;)
 
Almost 2 years to the day since the second steelbook release of the original (19th January 2015).

Know nothing about this version but looks kinky like most of these animes and IMO easily the best artwork choice for the front cover out of the three official poster designs

Bound to be Matte (Zero or Satin at best) and that title is crying out to be debossed.

Love the dramatic contrast of colours and the fine detailing of and around the headpiece.
It's a peach :thumbs:

Anyway, welcome back Eureka . . . it's been as while.

One of the other poster designs (#2) is the artwork for the upcoming Amaray edition (13/3/17).

Speaking about METROPOLIS . . . the German one not the Japanese one . . . anyone on here own up to winning the engraved 180 gram bar of solid gold worth 4,000 quid?
Everyone that bought one of the 4,000 copies of the second METROPOLIS steelbook (released January 2013) had an equal chance of winning.

P.S. That bar would have to be made of 18ct gold to be worth that sort of figure today - the current value of 180 grams of 18ct gold is 4,500 quid approx. (9ct 2,300 quid approx.)

Have you pre-ordered your copy of The Ultimate Collector's Edition SteelBook of METROPOLIS yet (Limited to 4000 units)? There is a golden opportunity in every copy for one lucky person to win this 180gm* Metropolis engraved solid gold bar, now back from casting and looking rather stunning! ( * Approx weight).

Some pics found of this little beauty:-


Back looks fine as in not marked up like FRIGHT NIGHT :) . . . although don't like this new fashion of leaving off the title and that back really couldn't look much barer :(
For example, the Japanese title could have been on the back instead of on the front:-

Looks alright, any idea what the finish is? no back art like most of their releases, not sure if I want to buy this or get the standard release, will wait for a price drop to decide.

@virkia are you talking about the Metropolis 1927 released on Jan 2015? I wonder too if anyone got the gold bar, I know some copies are sealed, someone could be sitting on a winner.

Not ordered this yet so cannot say much about the finish although looks typically elegant Eureka style in a matte finish with some sort of effect on the face, hair and title to make them stand out.
I will order before long as it looks like a lovely steelbook and not expecting much of a price-drop on this one . . . at least not under GBP 17.99.
The plan is to pick up the Amaray when it's under a tenner to join the steelbook.
