The more I look at this, the more I decide I don't like it. The artwork does nothing for me. It just looks really badly photoshopped. (What's with the fire on the front cover?)

And Robocop to me is just NOT Robocop without that original title font. Why change an iconic image?

Just too many negatives for me on this one.

Having said all that, it will probably come with a high gloss finish and sell out!!! It would want to, for that price!
 
That price is much more like it. Not sure if I read somewhere that there was a legal/copyright issue with the original lettering (which are iconic)

In the end, I decided to double dip, as I already have the first steel that came out. I think the £5 off offer from Amazon and the reduced price made it a risk worth taking!

Got a feeling it may look better in hand. Not long now to find out!

The US amaray costs $8, but when you add shipping, it will cost £9 or £11 depending on the shipping speed. Surely it's just as easy to spend the extra £2 and get it from amazon UK?
