Ordered the Dutch version for €14. One of my childhood favorites together with Labyrinth. Now all I need is a Steelbook for Neverending Story and one for Legend with decent artwork and I consider my collection more or less complete (never thought I would say that :wow:).

happy days. :D for those of you gelflings who'd like to know what this looks like open (@Skog ), some pics below. they're not really getting across how good this looks.

it comes with a UV copy (mine is to redeem end 2019) and an easy to remove j-card:

the embossing is lovely. the whole gold title is embossed, with alternate white colour on the letters to make them seem a bit more 3D. there's also some nice heightening of the crystal.

on the back, there's also spot gloss on the crystal and lightning bolts:

overall steel shots. my only minor gripe is the inside art, as it's a bit unclear (not the print quality, but the shot itself). but i am being picky with this.

all in all, for a 'standard' release, not bad at all.

Never seen this movie, interesting artwork. Reminds me of Dark Shadows.
if you mean with the cover, then i see what you're saying, all that rich purple! if you haven't seen the film, just to confirm that this is a Frank Oz / Jim Henson fantasy, a 100% puppet / people in costumes film. here's the original trailer. :) and, if you knew all that already, ignore and apologies! :sorry:
 
is there a way to get this to the US with an English title? The German version (aptly) has a German title. I would also like a GB for us Americans. I was not able to enter a US address into Bol.com.... :(
