happy days. :) well, happy enough days, in that i got a blu-ray and 4k of this wonderful film for a discounted discount, and it was a steelbook too. but for a film with such rich imagery, as everyone above already agrees, this misses the mark. and while i wasn't expecting the lovely roundel images to be repeated due to the different players involved in production, this is weak sauce. but anyway, for those who'd like to know what they may get in a future sale or cheap secondary market pick up, unboxing below, or just the pics via the Media tab. :Snap:


i do really like the blue metallic colour they have used, and the spot gloss on both sides is very marked. and... that's about all you can say, since there's nothing else to discuss.



obviously this should have been the cover, if they wanted that image:

the interior artwork is, of course, a giant reminder of the sort of thing the outside should have looked like:

for artwork, this definitely will remain one of the lesser releases in my collection, but i can at least watch this masterpiece again. :woot:
