I'm still not sold on that front or new font, but hey it's the remastered Robocop and I'll bite at that price. I still think they should have used the original poster art though. Cheers for the heads up on price drop filmbloke. Now they need to reduce Leon big time over at Amazon.

Yeah, I'm not overjoyed with the art but you can't go wrong with the remaster.

 

[mr blue]

not for me, got the first release of this which i haven't watched yet plus don't like the cover and the spine being upside is a definite no-no

 

[blade803]

I wonder if Zavvi will match Amazon's price.

i don't think i have ever seen zavvi reduce the price of SB on pre order anyway. only if they cock up the price,other then that i don't remember when they have reduced something before its released

 

[Shanester]

Pre-ordered. Looking forward to drooling over the new transfer

Yeah good point there mate, think I'll just cancel with them and go with amazon.

I feel the same.. I watched this on netflix months back then bought the uk SB but haven't watched it yet. I know this has a new transfer and thats why I'm considering getting this, on the other hand, if this new transfer is available on amaray then I may just pick that up down the line when its cheap and pop the disc in the robocop steel I already own.. still a little undecided at this point tho

 

[spookz]

So the steelbook I already have has not got a new transfer??? A bit sneeky... let's release it twice?

 

[cooey]

No, the already released Steelbook is the old release which is the sub-par transfer.

 

[cooey]

The new transfer is being released in both amaray and Steelbook both of which will be released in January 2014

So glad this is being released since I missed out on the other one, though I think that was slightly better. Hope for the same style (border, embossing)

That makes the steelbook super cheap in relation to a plastic box..
need to check PQ on my robocop BD and decide if its worth upgrading

If only the letters on the spine were in thr right direction.

 

[Kashby]

Why are People still going on about the spine! The spine will the right way up have faith, they're using the French mock up the spines are upside down in France.

 

[Kashby]

like I said a few pages ago the mock up to despicable me 2 steelbook had a upside spine (it's still upside down on zavvis website) but when released it was the right way up
