Got this in my mailbox today. Appears to be in pristine shape. Very nice looking steel, and nice embossing of the title.

Mine seems to have fine scratches on the words taxi driver. Anyone else?

this has been discussed lately:

Yes there are scratch effects on the letters.

One of the better Zavvi artworks. Limit 4,000 copies for this famous movie and it's still not sold out?

I have the Digibook too. Not sure which to open. But this is one steelbook that I would keep.

It's probably because when people look at this steelbook, De Niro stares back and says "you lookin' at me?"

Absolutely! It's a matter of taste though. Keep in mind, that we are talking about a movie from the 70s. It looks and feels different. For todays standards it's slow paced, straightforward and kinda unspectacular. Younger people might struggle with it.

Anyway the steel is pretty awesome btw.

Unspectacular? Is that your adjective for a coherent narrative?

In other words, good, literate storytelling that may be considered beyond the capabilities of today's youth with attention deficit disorder.

Pretty much no point in pre ordering anything anymore. Especially on titles you know won't sell out quickly.

Went for this one today. Thought about it when in came back into stock shortly after release but held off. Glad I did

+1. Will be cancelling few more pre-orders provided I can smell the ones that won't sell.

 

[hatredhorror]

of course they dont want to sit on those steels forever, so eventually they sell them for a discounted price if they cant sell all for the regular price

I think people's grievance is that "eventually" should be longer than a month after the steel came out. These are catalogue releases, so getting them on the same day they come out is not a priority for most.

Considering what they cost, and how many steels are coming out, it makes sense for people to try and get them for the best price possible.

I paid £12 of this a few weeks ago brand new and sealed of ebay so I'm not too bothered but still some are a bit of a p*ss take
