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

Your right and it does look a bit messy. It is still an improvement on the art that was first shown in terms of alignment but is still some way off. Not sure why this is there could be a reason for it but probably down to laziness and its more of ok that'll do instead of perfection.

Still it's a lovely steelbook with decent art lets all enjoy it for what it is and that's a terrific film inside a quality casing. Enjoy !!!!!

I got my copy today. It's pretty weird how the edges of the Steelbook are just bare silver, kinda reminds of Stickerbooks

Got this yesterday and it looks great close up. Got this one from sainsburys. They have changed their steelbook packaging and it is really a step in the right direction .

Just finished watching this.
PQ is pretty poor, some shots look "good".....others just plain sloppy. Shame really, love this film

Still, it's better than the DVD......just.

Got this yesterday, haven't opened it yet. Again, I'd like to see more older movies in steelbook form.

mine turned up today ordered one from sainburys other day, seems there only ones with them left was £16.99 but once sainburys stop selling physical product next year won't be able to get one apart from the resellers market.
Is very nice steelbook worth it imo.

happy basil

No, not yet. Apparently it was posted on Monday.
Soon as it arrives, I'll post pics

Same with mine but I was starting to get the feeling it was going to the same as wolverine we ordered which was 'supposedly' despatched never arrived and took Play a month to give us a refund.

I am still hopeful

Yeah I hope it arrives too, as a steelbook and NOT an amaray!! Haha

 

[cheetah]

Not got mine yet from play either. Yet I received another from play posted the same day today. Is it not looking hopeful?

Still not received this from play, posted Monday, not going to arrive now is it? Was the wolverine the same company on play who was selling this?

 

[Flash]

No it wasn't the same seller but was on play.

I mean we all appreciate that £4.80 is silly money for this but why put it up for sale, Take orders and even say you have despatched it ?
That was the same with the wolverine.

 

[bigwednesday0]

Nope, not arrived today even though it was "dispatched" on Monday [emoji107]
