At last, it looks really nice. Silver artwork inside which looks cool but I don't see any spot gloss anywhere

 

[Klownicle]

Honestly, that looks like a big disappointment to me. Maybe its better in hands. Looks like the title is the spot gloss part from the images? I could have done without howards big head in the back...

Looks quite washed out compared to the "promotional". If the silver is shown to be the "glossy" part, that will be a nice little touch, me thinks.

That looks cool I got frozen but not this is it matte?

I am going to wait to see more pictures from other ninjas (especially Ricster pictures )

Still waiting for postie

Damn I thought the plane would get some spot gloss. At least the bottom looks better than the mock-up now it's all one colour instead of solid black.

It is matte but good quality, the silver embossed title really stands out.

The Front is messed up big time. Matte finishing doesn't help. Back and inside are fine though I don't like Sewage Canal cutting cost by putting black and white inside artwork.

Slip shot:

Quality card used and no glue.

Does this sound like a cancel?: I paid less than 24 hrs after receiving the payment problem message.

But this is the message I got back after asking why it was yet to dispatched.

So no gloss finish??

 

[Blu-devil]

No Gloss= Call to TSO this time. Blatant false advertising.

 

[Shanester]

The inside is disappointing would have been much better in color

"Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook With Embossed Title Treatment and GLOSS FINISH. Ultra Limited Print Run. This Product is Limited to 2000 Copies."

This has got partial refund written all over it! You can't say it's going to be a gloss finish and then not do it! I'm thinking £3 off for EVERYONE?

Surely, this means it's sold out, right?

Or are they going to try and magic up some extra copies from somewhere?

 

[Petedogg50]

I can't wait for mine to arrive. Love this film and the artwork. I like glossy but tbh they always come scratched so I can live with matte.

 

[lgans316]

I think this is truly OOS based upon Wreck's post about remaining copies.

I wouldn't mind a partial refund but doubt if that would happen keeping Aliens in mind.

That's what I thought. Will be annoyed if they have sold my copy.

 

[gregavfc]

Partial refund? They should be taken to court. If you ordered a sirloin steak and got a Big Mac, would you ask for a partial refund? Clearly lying to customers.

I'm not even a Zavvi basher. I stick up for them most of time (I was even prepared to let it slip that Sainsburys were selling their 'exclusive' Despicable Me 2 steelbook).

Maybe the title is spot gloss? DB did confirm spot gloss instead of full
