Idk, as much as I'm looking forward to this, it's an overly busy design. I'll probably wait until some live shots are available.

This will sold out within a week, you'll never get the chance to see one delivered.

 

[CleverLoginName]

You think so? Hm. I'll might risk it anyway. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

I can order two copies and if it sells out I will sell you a second copy for 4x the original price. Deal?

Just kidding, of course. I would never do that.

 

[Raimi]

Nice, this one is a must have

Just kidding, of course. I would never do that.

Of course not

Certainly one of the scariest lines in the film :-
“I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them?” –Mrs. Bundy (Ornithologist).

This comment is in reference to what happens in the film and is also reflected in the excellent front artwork of this steelbook with crows / rooks on the trees and the flock of feral / street pigeons in the sky.
(if the artwork is confirmed the same or similar to the artwork on the 50th Anniversary release as seen here).
Hopefully same disc art as this too:-

I like POP ART steelbooks/Amarays as much as the next person but kind of glad they didn't go with it here (as seen on the recently released Pop Art U.S. Amaray):-

Same Extras I presume as on the edition inside the excellent Masterpiece Collection:-
Deleted Scene, Original Ending, The Birds: Hitchcock’s Monster Movie – New! (Blu-ray Exclusive), All About The Birds, Storyboards, Tippi Hedren’s Screen Test, Hitchcock-Truffaut Interview Excerpts, The Birds Is Coming (Universal International Newsreel), Suspense Story: National Press Club Hears Hitchcock (Universal International Newsreel), Production Photographs, 100 Years of Universal: Restoring the Classics, 100 Years of Universal: The Lot, Theatrical Trailer, BD Live, Pocket Blu (Blu-ray Exclusive).

Furniture? We don't need no stinkin' furniture :-D

This is a textbook title for waiting until the price drops to £7.99.
A classic. But most people won't be buying it.
