So is this definitely a gloss finish? I mean a real proper gloss finish?
Haven't see a any pics of this which fill me with confidence that it is?!?!

Yes mate it's a glossy finish,just a shame the title on the spine is running the opposite way

After seeing those pics I've placed my order with amazon. Its a gorgeous looking steelbook, looking forward to seeing the new remaster too.

Im not usually a slip collector but i love the little slips fox put on there titles, like with the xmen, and this. They look awesome.

Yep really like the fox slips and the way they carry on the artwork of the steelbook that's underneath.

Go to stingersplash's channel on youtube he got it on the original release date from sainsburys. Its full proper gloss but reversed spine

Funds taken from amazon,hopefully delievered by monday,amazon have been pretty good recently got rush and rocky on there release dates so props to them,there delivery service is top notch. Love the fact they email you if its getting delievered in a few hours

Why on earth would they reverse the spine title????? I mean... this looks nice otherwise and I do personally have one on order. But seriously its almost like a sub committee reviews it and says... Nah. Looks dam near perfect. Lets flip the spine upside down... Or... Lets leave it blank inside... or... Lets remove the gloss... or... Lets cover half the front with a blank slip... or... Lets remove the title.

...but every now and then... One slips through the cracks to give us all hope that awesome steelbooks do exist.

my copy from amazon says "dispatching now"

 

[Kizza]

[Kashby]

Shipped from amazon, the spine will bother me but I'll just make a custom one.

Amazon Royal Mail
Delivery estimate: 24 Feb 2014

Why cant some Amazon warehouse staff get it right
Rep of Ireland you use An Post and I would have had delivery on Tue 18th

Still looking forward to getting this but why they use Royal Snail

 

[ricster]

Just had the dispatch notice. Hopefully will be here for Monday. That'll be Monday nights film sorted. Will post photos when it comes.

Strange decision with the title on the spine. Maybe the steelbook was for France or Germany ???

 

[thewoe]

Still not dispatched. Still says dispatching now.

 

[MaxG93]

Money has been taken, but hasn't dispatched, doesn't even say dispatching now :/

 

[AmarD1981]

Mine was DESPATCHED yesterday afternoon, they've even given me tracking information for it even though I chose the free delivery option. Theyve been doing this a lot recently, it's great!

 

[sgmido]

Still unsure on whether to get this or not. Already have the other steel which is gorgeous.

Does anybody know how the remaster holds up??

 

[thewoe]

Dispatched.

 

[DigitalSlurm]

Got this delivered on Friday - excellent steelbook.
