Exactly what I'm waiting for. Ordered Thief because its limited and may sell out but if The burbs steelbook has made it to an Arrow sale, then this will too. (Hopefully I don't regret this decision)

The front is awesome, but I wish they put art on the back. And do they not realize that they discs are going to cover up the inside art, leaving just a blank image on the left when you open it?

They do have the booklets on the left though so wherever they put the artwork you won't see it. I do agree the inside artwork could have been a lot better if they had used both sides.

not that simple really. they still have to sell amarays. the strong artwork on the amarays will help them sell, instead of them being made redundant by the steel
