That looks sweeeeeeeeeet NM!

Where's mine Amazon?!?!?

Yeah, looks good I was worried about whether the rating logos would be printed but that slip makes it especially blending into the artwork and not a lazy black belly band

An additional benefit of being a Amazon Prime member is that I can cancel before despatch (usually on the Sunday) before delivery on the Monday if the item was shite

The steelbook is a keeper

Oh screw it, *reorders with Amazon*

It does look like a nice steel. Well, further and further into the broke I go (Till Wednesday at least...). XD

Just received mine - a really nice steelbook in hand. Love these 'continued art' slips they're doing on UK steels now.

No embossing...fail!

I really like this steel as it is. The part-metallic finish on the bike makes a change. Nothing wrong with embossing but I don't see it as all that important. Come to think of it, most of my favourite steels have no embossing at all.

Agree. Too much embossing is overkill. I'd like to see some more debossed steels. Huge fan of the German wanted and the Baytown outlaws looked really cool with the debossed title. Contraband as well.

Was hoping my copy would arrive today but did not.

Was a nice surprise this steel was. I ordered it because i like the film but it exceeded my expectations when in hand. I love the way the bike shines.

Yeah, me too. Something a bit different....

 

[sam tyler]

this is definitely one of my favorite steelbooks, which is handy as it one of my favorite films

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

One of the greatest WWII films ever

 

[SlyFondle]

Maybe I'm too picky but it annoys me that '50th Anniversary Edition' is printed parallel to the plane, whilst the title and stars' names are in perspective. It doesn't look quite right

 

[cbs777]

Great film, can't wait to get mine.

Nice Steelbook but the PQ is crap and they shouldn't have changed the inside artwork.
