Is the Steelbook inside the box shrink wrapped?

It is not.
Its only shrink wrapped outside the box.

I'm glad I didn't order this. I don't like this boxes with the little window. A nice Taiwan like quarter slip would have been better.

 

[SteelbookedUp]

Don't like this at at all. Money saved.

hmm, well ok its not the best but for me i prefer this one to the Korean release

Great photos! Is the finish Glossy or matt? Also what does the the artwork on the back and the inside of the steelbook look like please?

@hung17, awesome set of pictures for a lovely looking steelbook from Taiwan, thanks for sharing bud

This looks great and I'm in love, for those who missed SGR ones & not after a Lenticular cover then this is a no-brainer, and for those who wants all the above; well tough as you have to get SGR (both)/TW & MM (preferrable) or FR, well that's just what I have opted for lol

 

[AlexG]

Was kind of hoping it came with the Lenticular cover but oh well.

I think the slip is nice and blends with the artwork. This could have been the winner if there was a lenticular card.

 

[SteelbookedUp]

In my opinion, this has been a disastrous release from both Korea and Taiwan. Even more disappointing than Dark Knight Rises.

I just don't understand the need of the box for this. If it was a 3D lenticular like Life Of Pi, then yes.

Have a horrible feeling it's going to be the norm for any future releases that come with a 3D disc. Hope I'm wrong about this.

Lets see if Japan can save the day and well done Singapore.

Yes. Thank you for confirming the finish and adding the other photos, really appreciate it.

I'm a little disappointed it doesn't have a magnetic Lenticular too, but overall it looks great!

It looks that way. It started with Avatar 3D and since then every 3D title has been boxed. I think we can probably expect all 3D editions from now on to be packaged similarly.

Can't wait to see someone stick the French or German lenticular versions in the box, imagine it'll look great!

hung: Great shots.

@ alternate cover. Clever.

Asian releases are very disappointing for this film IMO. I like the front cover, but not the back
I expected something better for this movie.

 

[hayemaker]

Don't like the blue banner on the box but otherwise it looks OK. Just hope the boxes aren't going to be a regular thing cos I do prefer the slips.

Are the disks likely to be region free on this?

 

[EastCoast]

Hmm. A bit disappointed with the look of this box. Almost thinking I like the look of KR version with no slip/box at all. Could still cancel my order - what to do, what to do?

 

[earthscope]

I think the boxes are only going to be used for 3D Steels, plus I really like it. The way the artwork carries over onto the box looks cool. Each to there own I suppose!
I no it's not a slip but it will line up well with LOP and at least it's different from all the other versions, and I am also glad it's not a complete failure like Korea!!!

Plus the Jewel in the Crown for me is Singapore, that's the one I am really looking forward to getting.

It's a win win all round for me.
