What, with the bilingual spine? No thanks.

As it's the spines I see every day on the shelf, I know where my loyalties lie.

My thoughts exactly. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't display my steelbooks open anyway, so I'd rather have a decent spine.

Im glad i ordered FS exclusive

Goes well with the first one. Will stick my own inside artwork and make it shine extremely well through the plastic.

Can anyone take a pic of this next to the UK first Expandables steel. Want to see how well they look together.

 

[Man of Steelbooks]

Wow, £17 and no inside art?

Wow, £17 and no inside art?

That's what I thought too, OK it's a new release film so the price is going to be higher than catalogue steelbooks but no inside art or embossing makes it seem a bit of a rip off especially as others like Avengers have been cheaper too.

 

[lgans316]

This is worth 12.99 at max like Drive which didn't have any inside artwork.

Cheap ass HMV missed the boat again with this one. Lazy design aswell. Stoopid skull design front AND Back?? No characters from the film present at all. Easy pass for me too.

I'm holding out high hopes for the German release now. At least some embossing/Lenticular effect!

 

[Scarface]

Don't like that steel at all, the German steel is by far the best

The design is nothing to do with HMV... that's down to Lionsgate.

 

[Man of Steelbooks]

I think the front and back artwork are the best on the market for Expendables 2. Just the lack of inside art which ruins it...

Hmmmm.......I wonder why Play.com has very few Steelbooks with no interior artwork, but look at HMV's track record. Sounds like they go the cheapest route every time.

HMV have sold some of the best steels in UK...i.e. Thor...captain america...true grit..green hornet...cowboys n aliens....people need to remember its the film distributor that produces the steel...i for one welcome and appreciate HMV exclusives esp as they are our only bluray steelbook selling retailer on the high street

It's true that HMV have produced some stunners, a lot of those tend to be worldwide releases. Most retailers are the same, some stunners, some turkeys, the rest are ok. I only try and pick up the stunners these days, but even that takes effort, more effort than I think it's worth sometimes.

For this steelbook, easy pass for me, now to decide if to get the canadian or german, if any at all (need to stop falling into the trap of owning a steelbook for every film released)

Thor, Captain America, True Grit, Cowboys etc.....all those titles you mentioned above might have been 'exclusive' to HMV but could be bought openly in many other countries.

However HMV's own Drive, Hunger Games, Expendables etc....that were exclusive to HMV and not available anywhere else, these are always the ones that are the let downs.

Amazing how it's always only the titles that are exclusive to the store that are cheaply produced and over priced. Great high street value my ass.

I wouldn't say Drive was a let down! And i got it for £12 which is a bargain for a steelbook.
