It is disappointing because of poor matte finish which restricts the colors and details from popping out.

A trend Warner seem to be going down. I was hoping it would be like the previous Japan wave and NOT like the horrible UK wave with that weird paint job.

Unfortunately mines in transit. Again, win some, lose some.

Well I’m underwhelmed, no slip and a matt finish. Doesn’t do it for me, I’m afraid. My copy hasn’t shipped yet, so I’ve sent in a cancellation request. Hopefully it’s not too late.

This really should have been better than this.

Glad I didn't bother with this one. 'Warner Bros' is just a big warning sign for steelbook collectors.

like the artwork but should have had embossed title and glossy finish

Too bad about the matte finish. Didn't own it yet so still glad I ordered one.

The Matte finish on this is super disappointing so I have decided to cancel my order. This should have had a nice Glossy finish to really make those colours stand out.

Fingers crossed for a UK version with a Gloss finish and the embossing this film deserves.

I'd imagine this will be a worldwide release with the same artwork/finish etc...

That'll more than likely be the case but at least it won't be as expensive as importing it.

Plus there's always the hope that Zavvi may get this and do something different with it.

I would call this day dreaming.

Order Cancelled..

Poor show Japan..

Not bad. Unlike most I don't care much for stupid slips. Good job JP. Love these slip less beauties. Whole wave looks good

Anyone who ordered this wave at Yesasia be forewarned that you can't cancel as per the terms and condition in the product listing page.

Your spot on Igans,

From the product page:-

"This product cannot be cancelled or returned after the order has been placed."

Didn't notice this little gem when I placed the order. Not a very flexible retailer. Goes to show, you should always read the small stuff.

I'll see what they say about my request, though I think a YesAsia parcel will be winging it's way to me shortly.

Maybe it will look better in hand.

+1 I hope Zavvi will release Goonies and V for Vendetta in the future because ordering steelbooks from Japan is expensive and the customs fees are

 

[adrenaline78]

I like it. I just hope the PQ is an upgrade over my 12 year old dvd.

Shipped this morning from Hmv.co.jp

Looks good!!! Can't wait to have in hand.

 

[Youngsteveoooooo]

Awsome film and a awsome steelbook need one like this in the UK

 

[ash333]

Thanks for taking and sharing pics of this steelbook dv8mad. I like this edition personally - artwork and packaging works for me.

 

[stephen3001]

Just as I expected, YesAsia have replied to my request to cancel, but quoting their terms and conditions at me. I won't be ordering from them again, unless I'm 100% sure it's a keeper. Thank god Zavvi don't have the same policy.

Ah well, I may be pleasantly surprised when it arrives.
