Spoiler

The last time a steel was called a metalbook over here it ended up being a Viva. This thread might need moving!

 

[jcm]

The only way I would buy this movie is if it turned out to be a viva, viva vivas!

did someone say viva??? i'm all over it!!!

 

[VRob98]

Would love it to be a Viva, but I reckon this is more likely to be the new 'futurepak' format as used throughout Asia now. The artwork would be unique to that particular format, even though it's being used for steelbook editions.

If this edition really turn out to be VIVA then that would be fantastic I love VMB for quality and that would be the best version to buy for me.

Looks like it could be an interesting month waiting to find out what metal packaging this is going to be.

I'd be very surprised if they knew. They are not the brightest buttons when it comes to knowing about future products.

And that's that

Checked in store today. This is a Metalpak, but same art as the UK steelbook. It looks nice, and feels very weighty, but the spine......

There weren't a lot of copies, so it might be quite limited.

 

[Protec]

is the 3D firmly imprinted?

[cooey]

No 3D plastered all over it! Win win!!

 

[Horhay]

Nope, that was only the artwork used in Asia.

 

[bigrob]

Have to admit that they have improved the design since the early days.

 

[cooey]

Wouldn't mind seeing this one in the flesh to compare against the UK steelbook

Just arrived from Oz today

I've got mine on order! It'll look great alongside my Korean FuturePak with Gipsy Danger art!
