For some reason I still don't have this on Blu, maybe due to the fact I have a Dvd Steel that I like just fine. But if the price is right I'll be getting this.
 
Like BIG, this is cheaper on Zavvi at the moment so hoping for a price drop before release. Lot of steels being released on May 12th (also my Wedding Anniversary) and I will be out of the country at that time to receive delivery :(

:ordered:



I have placed an order with amazon

Legend
Big
Vanishing Point
Speed
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Day the Earth Stood Still

If Zavvi have an active Discount Code I will order from them if they work out cheaper
I will possibly end up cancelling some if price does not drop more or if my bank balance not healthy enough
Except the 2 below I wont be cancelling
Big
The Day the Earth Stood Still
These 2 are must keep orders


Hopefully also the Artwork will change

I wont be ordering Rocky Horror Picture Show that Artwork is horrendous looking and I could not have it in my collection

Another one I would need to see in hand methinks.

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

Agreed the Forbidden Planet steelbook is a thing of Beauty, this steelbook is so plain and a disappointment, they should have gone with a movie poster instead. :(

Hmm, I hadn't even considered the wraparound effect before, here or on the other steels from this wave for that matter. And if any steel was suited for lots of bare metal its one for this movie...

That said, this design still doesn't wow me, especially considering the classic nature of the movie, but I don't mind it or this wave as much as I did initially. I still mind the £19 price tags, but when they drop, I'll bite.
 
Very disappointing! :(

I was hoping for some (any) embossing/debossing on this, but it looks so "flat", and at £19 I have just cancelled my order with Amazon...

Maybe if it drops to about £10-£12 I might reconsider later, but very poor effort all round!
