Yep total gloss

 

[ben6212]

just seen that the spine is still ****ed on the uk version. fantastic

 

[BluSteel2012]

The UK gets a nice slip too

The Czech one doesn't have that.

 

[paulboland]

Just seen a unboxing Video of the UK Release of Robocop
[Remastered] (Blu-ray SteelBook)

It looks great very Glossy
Slip is the usual Fox UK Slip Jcard

Spine yes its as per photos show

Looking forward to getting this ordered from Amazon UK
How Sainsbury's got to dispatch this steelbook early don't know as its not supposed to be released until 17th Feb

A big Thumbs up to this release
Gloss machine is fixed

Just saw an unboxing video of this steelbook. It looks okay, but I'm not too psyched about the front artwork, the back is impressive though. Looking forward to checking out the remaster.

Really really wanna see the photos, also spine still reverse?

 

[no substance]

Spine is still reversed on the UK release, that's unacceptable IMO.

 

[AmarD1981]

Not bothered about the spine ill just turn my head the other way when it's not being displayed on a stand
Just really glad that it's glossy

 

[cooey]

I wish they could've used the original poster art on this, would've made a fantastic steelbook

 

[Filmbloke]

Spine is still reversed on the UK release, that's unacceptable IMO.

Totally agree...

It's not reversed on the released UK steelbook

Just search YouTube for "Robocop steelbook unboxing" and see for yourself

Wrong information, sorry. Just came across the original Robocop unboxing videos and didn't notice the difference! I have high fever right now, that's my only excuse!

 

[ihategiantspiders]

That's fantastic news about the spine and it being glossy but how the hell are people getting a hold of this so soon when Amazon.co.uk clearly tells me that it's not released until 17th Feb?

 

[paulboland]

It's not reversed on the released UK steelbook

Just search YouTube for "Robocop steelbook unboxing" and see for yourself

Robocop Spine is as per the photos show it is reversed
UK Usually have spine lettering downwards
This release its upwards that's means its reversed

I just double checked the video

Bluray Steelbook Update HD - Robocop Remastered & The Hangover Trilogy

At time code 2:46 you can see that the title indeed is "from bottom to top"

Why, oh why...

First one for UK? Can't remember ever coming across a UK steelbook which had "upside down" title on the spine before this.

 

[goufcustom]

now it's clear... it's really reverse tho...

 

[yy0925]

Sorry, I don't get it. Where exactly is that spine reversed?
"Robocop" is still "Robocop" and not "pocoboR"...

 

[lgans316]

I agree. This artwork is way too modern for this classic. It looks awesome and will suit the remake but certainly not the original.

 

[kron]

I'm glad we have another glossy steel but I still can't get over the scale of robo vs the surroundings and I agree way too modern looking (font and all) for this classic, so I'm still sticking with the old steelie and will just buy the new disc when it's cheaper.

Sorry, I don't get it. Where exactly is that spine reversed?
"Robocop" is still "Robocop" and not "pocoboR"...

....it's not reversed- it's upside down.

I wonder was this delayed 3 weeks because of the issue with the title being upside down on the spine and the steelbooks being released in 3 weeks will actually be fixed?

...still, a fairly mediocre looking steelbook in my opinion.

On its side it should be ROBOCOP

Uk spines are from top to bottom

Germany steelbook spines have bottom to top which is reversed to how 99% UK steelbooks are

This steelbook if you display it on a shelf flat the spine is upside down
