Methinks zavvi are trying to create a lil bit of hype with these. I get 500 going quick but pop art devides so many I'm not too sure they are gone. Plus with only 500 they can make it look like all have gone until release day when i guarantee they will be available again

If I see them pop up for £10 or less from another country say Italy then I'll cancel these in a heartbeat.
The j card only gets put in a box. The steel is the same in my eyes

It's all a matter of opinion I quite liked a few of the previously released pop art ones. I really like this one and I like the film don't have it. I really like the image and the colour and love the pineapples in the background.

I don't like the Boys n the hood one it's kinda ugly in my opinion prefer the black and white one. As most people know I prefer UK steels with English J cards so despite the foreign ones will probably be wee bit cheaper I keep the j cards attached and if not too much more want the UK one but each to their own.

I think they might have keep a few back for just before release and I really hope some back for damages. :ohno:
 
Still wonder how come they still keep releasing these pop art series...

General public buys the crap out of them. I never see stock at my Best Buys of these and when I do its just a random few I See; the metalpak versions tho

I think some look great tho. Also good talking points for when regular joe schmoes visit my house. haha. They like looking at them. On the shelf they stick out cause so many spines are colorful when lined up together.

Custom artwork does it for me and I find it SO much more interesting than the usual boring and over-used BD and DVD images that have been used previously for this title.
The two main culprits being:-

Why have these and only these images been used on 99% of releases of this title worldwide ? Maybe something to do with two of the original posters . . .

As always, a matter of personal taste . . . and I personally like these because they are SO DIFFERENT to what is out there already in steelbooks in the U,K.:-

P.E. No previous U.K. SB release / released Nov 2016 ------------------------------------------ SALT released Dec 2010 / released Nov 2016

Glad I held off not getting any version of this film as this is an awesome steelbook love the artwork. This is such a funny film glad it got a bright cool steelbook to match.

Not really surprising to me. A picture of a diver with almost no relevance to the film in front of a bunch of badly photoshopped pineapples - yeah, great :rolleyes:

They all came back in stock today, due to cancellations etc

I cancelled this, hellboy and Boyz n the hood (didn't order salt) due to funds plus bundled from Italy they are a bit cheaper

Hellboy has already sold out again and these will too quite quickly I reakon
