I'm not sure if the film cell the art book is only exclusive to Singapore. But I cannot recall if any other country is giving that booklet in steelboook version.
As for the gift, I'm not sure if this is an official merchandise from WB. If it is, they will release them for purchase once they are done with the official release.
See HERE

My point is, if this is widely available. This is not so unique.
What makes Singapore release unique is the film cell for 2D and booklet for 3D.

Art book with SB maybe exclusive to Singapore but it in included with the regular Amaray version at amazon.it but it does make sense to buy the Steelbook version if one got more cash to splash.

What is the difference if they are ordered from the store and via group buy?

 

[n3wk1d]

That's explained why the supplier told me that they came from UK.(Booklet) So, it's printed in the EU region. Did the french or any other EU version come with the booklet as well ? Didn't check other release recently as I stop buying.. LOL

Hmmm.. it depends on what you are looking for mate.
If you order via GB, 2D steelbook comes with a full embossed slip. 3D steelbook comes with a customised quarter slip.
If both slip not your cup of tea/coffee then all steelbook are the same.

What is the difference if they are ordered from the store and via group buy?

What do you mean ? The slip of the 3D steelbook ? Or the artwork of the 3D steelbook ?

Yep, artwork on the 3D steelbook.

Looks interesting indeed. Even though I haven't seen the movie myself

 

[n3wk1d]

I thought the 3d Steelbook artwork is shown in the OP ?
That's the actual artwork.

Yep, artwork on the 3D steelbook.

The HK version has the keyring gift for preorders from HK Records. HMV are giving away a tshirt. Both are for local (HK) orders only.

This could be the final artwork of the exclusive slip for Singapore version 3D steelbook quarter slip.

Nothing special but do me a favor Alex. Can you get me in touch with Graphics Dept. I would happily create a better designed slip at no cost.

I think it looks great! The red hanzi letters against the black really pops, and the picture of the booklet on the slip certainly makes it different from other versions.

 

[n3wk1d]

The red wording on the slip is slightly embossed. Spot polymer, where you can feel the words. I actually requested the booklet artwork to be on spot polymer too but then I'm not the boss.. LOL

I think it look's good too, apart from Martin Freeman's creepy smile!

 

[earthscope]

Alex I think this is going to be the Version of The Hobbit to have. Seeing as TW is doing the Box thing again.
And if KR gives us another plain slip like on LOP!!

Then my money is on this version to be the clear winner.

Awesome! i really love both, I can't wait to have my entire "The Hobbit" collection. Thanks Alex.

So 2D & 3D same inside and backcover artwork. Saves me an extra import. German steelbook is good enough for now I think. Which is lenticular.
