I'll live in hope that those three letters 'TBC' will save the day.

Was hoping it would be similar to the brilliant SDCC slip edition.

Never gonna happen I know but this Mondo print would have been

I have been waiting for this for a long time. I am one happy steelbook collector.

The SDCC slip looks wicked!

The SDCC slip looks wicked!

It's definitley one of my favourite slips rj. I've got Poncholo (Mr SDCC) to thank for my treasured copy.

Oldschool

The colors are odd. They're better off using a real image of his head and more dynamic colors for the title. I feel like I"m looking at a Futurama Steel. It's not so bad that I would say "no" to it, but it could be a bit better.

Another movie that I'd love a steelbook of, but not this steelbook. I don't see any of these titles selling well.

 

[Lollard2002]

That steelbook is total ****....... No way would I buy that... Wasted opportunity.
And this is from someone who loves that 1951 classic. Real shame especially after the excellent Forbidden Planet steelbook.

 

[kaworu nagisa]

I feel like this design was wasted on this title. Somebody release a Plan 9 steelbook already maaaaan.

 

[Fostertwelvetrees]

Ever feel as though April 1st has come early ?

Surely the whole range is a joke?

They must be getting ready to release the real art....mustn't they?

Had Zavvi brought this line out they'd have faced a firing squad. These are making me want to buy Planes.....

 

[Bobthesub]

Klaatu barada nikto!

I hope that artwork changes......

 

[NinjaFeetz]

Looks like they're starting to ration paint too now

 

[GenPion]

A easy pass with that artwork...

 

[DrH]

Another one I would need to see in hand methinks.

After the fantastic forbidden planet steel which is fantastic this is well meh

That's what I'd be replacing if I bite on this, which makes it a tough call (the black amaray is another nice touch)... and this TBC art is pretty disappointing considering the quality/importance of the movie. Here's hoping they come around, but looking at how dumb The Fly still looks, I'm not holding my breath.

Never gonna happen I know but this Mondo print would have been

Oooooooo, that is very nice. Would have loved that.

steelbook made in Brazil

 

[ghost1]

The artwork is gonna have to deffo improve before i spend my £15 on this, don't get me wrong it's a great movie but thats not a steelbook to admire or show off.

 

[lolwut]

That artwork is awesome. I have zero interest in the film though.

This is classic sci fi movie and its great. I wish the artwork would have being the same quality as Forbidden Planet (ES)
