Not a huge fan of this movie series, but I'll be tempted to pick them up if the price goes a little lower!
 
These would look good with some spot glossing and maybe an embossed title. But going by previous Japan steelbooks, they will more than likely just be matte and flat :vomit: (Unless they are not Japanese exclusives and will turn up elsewhere).

Having said that, the back artworks on all are atrocious. Especially Retribution. Zoomed in, low res, random photoshopped scenes :vomit:
 
I like them a lot actually. Love those steel punctured backgrounds. But at € 26,- a piece without shipping the price is too high for me.
Also, Alice indeed looks too photoshopped smooth on each of them.
 
For the matching set it works out to approx £114 (without shipping) to the UK.

My only issue here is the final film being released without matching artwork. It would be a huge shame,
but I'm not going to take that gamble on a series of films that I don't consider a priority in my collection.

They do look awesome together though.
 
Shipping is a very expensive from Japan for a single steel. You have to combine your steels to really benefit and then there is the customs to pay as obviously Amazon don't mark down the packages. If it wasn't from Amazon Japan I be interested as the old North America set looks a little dated now. But too expensive for me to consider. Might as well save the money and wait for the 4K discs to be released.
 
I'd love this to come to the UK but I can't see it happening.
We've never had a Resident Evil 1 blu Ray steelbook right?
 
Amazon updated all of their images. Now comes with a lenticular card? Or just a regular postcard? Can't tell for sure...

I would guess a regular postcard. A lenticular card would be sweet but I highly doubt it.
