I don't think glossing can even save this

That a challenge ? Lol not got in hand yet but I like the look of it

 

[steel888]

Nothing like a flat-chested steel... :boobies:

Would have been great with an embossed title, at least.

That'd mean a border, which would ruin the look.

Zavvi can't please everyone!

 

[lights]

Is the title embossed?

 

[8bitheart]

I think I need to see some better pictures... but at the moment... wow.... i'm not sure I want this now... oh but the OH was so excited about getting this...

I actually prefer not having a border.

But from the pics so far, the finish looks a bit ho-hum. Was just hoping for this to pop a bit more.

And yes, I don't have to like everything Zavvi puts out. It's my right, as a citizen of the planet.

I know i said a few pages back that i would regret cancelling this one..... But i dont.

Each to their own though.

tbf its a poor photo taken with a cellphone, i'll wait 4 my copy b4 judging.

But the lack of any sort of premium treatment 4 this "ultra limited" run does not impress me at all (2 say the least) seriously, not even debossed????

*sigh* ...but really, we expected this as it was always on the cards from zavvi/studiocanal/scanvo:

As.Little.Effort.As.You.Think.You.Can.Get.Away.With.Hopefully.The.Plebs.Wont.Notice.

Glad i didnt order this looks very mediocre

 

[duckandrun]

i loved TWBB artwork and i love this on too! an exclusive embossing/debossing treatment should be epic but first of all we're talking about a cult movie in a real "ultra-limited" edition...i'm so happy for my pre-order and i think it will be no easy to find this for a good price!

Waiting for better photos!

 

[raspor]

I like what I see in the pics and the have debossed the borders like most the realeases this year, wooohooo

 

[Billz]

I personally like the front of it.
Not too crazy about the back. Might try getting the Canadian steelbook aswell, and simply swap the back plates over.

I do hate the interior artwork, but that can be easily changed too.

Unlike alot of you apparently, I prefer a matte finish to a glossy finish. If it were glossy, it would've become a "fingerprint magnet".

I would've liked to have seen an embossed title on the front.

Overall, I'm glad to have a steelbook of my 2nd most favourite movie of all time. I just wish some different choices had been made.

 

[Blu-devil]

Not a great deal for your wrong a me thinks.

Huh?

Very basic matte steel. If the print run was 4,000, you would have waited to get it for £6-7.

 

[rj531]

Thanks for the pic..they could have atleast Debossed the title. Lacking in effort for 18gbp..

In English please if you are going to chip in

Well that seals it - zavvi's new ploy for 2014 is to keep churning out the same crap quality steelbooks as 2013, with that same disregard for quality Only this time these ass steelbooks will be "ultra limited" - the usual 4k run as before, now shared between zavvi and other retailers in europe - in a bid to Con the collector into paying £18 for garbage normally worth £7.99

Best Steelbook ever. Studio Canal are the best. Love Studio Canal. Superb finishing, black and white inside artwork, good pricing. Couldn't ask for more..

Studio Canal = Sewage Canal
