Got an email yesterday from Zavvi saying only 200 remaining.......sells out about 30 mins later........comes back in stock a while after that and currently remains in stock.

I smell BS!

Somebody surprised?

Arrived today and v. nice it is too.
Arrow - along with Studio Ghibli, Disney animated, DC & Marvel - being the only steelbooks I'm prepared to pay pre-order prices for (w/ notable exceptions) ... although admittedly since 2016 tended to be a bit of a bottom-feeder and have bought the vast majority of my steelbooks on price reductions.

It's got an image of the mountains against a sunset, similar to the image on the back.

Yeah, a really nice steelbook - i like it alot!

From the pictures it has a metallic shine. Gone are the times when Arrow Steelbooks had a nice mat finish with great colours.

I got mine yesterday, and haven't had time to pop it open yet, but i think you might be right - as regards to the metallic sheen. BUT it looks really good, IMO. Nice colours, good artwork - TBH, i personally i think it's one of Arrows best steelbooks of late.

 

[hal9000b]

Hope so. But i think older Arrow Steelbooks were much better. For example The Beyond. It has a nice finish with great colors. The last ones, Hellraiser, Donnie Darko and some others are too metallic. But thats my taste.

Yeah, for sure The Beyond is one of my Arrow all time best - that, along with Zombie Flesheaters, and City of the Living Dead........those 3 are my faves from arrow. Again, the artwork on those, and the colours.........great steelbooks! But this Hills have eyes steelbook.......it's a gooden!

Streaky matte finish. Very cheap feeling.

Definitely NOT one Arrow's best

Super streaks! Looks awful!

That’s what I was talking about. Arrow made once quality Steelbooks. But the last ones weren’t so good. I like the movies but if it has to be always a Steelbook? I’m on the fence to buy the boxes or a simple Amaray from now on. That were once blind buys but I have the feeling that the time is gone.

Artwork just fine w/ added bonus that its colour goes well with the colour of the ltd. ed. boxset ... steelbook will slip nice and snug into the sturdy no nonsense slipcase alongside the thick collector's booklet and double-sided poster.

Thanks
