Hmm, if they would have put Gollum as the main charecter on the 3D version I may have bought it ;o

I agree. They should know gollum is everyone's favorite

Given that this is still supposed to be under wraps, maybe they'll make some changes? Probably still in time for release.

On a side note, I just thought about how it'd cause a mad scramble if the back art of all four steelbooks combined into a complete picture of Thorin's map.

Just for fun - this internet image meme cracks me up and thinking it woul dbe cool to have gandalf cover

haha excellent !!! love it

Did anyone manage to get any screenshots before they were taken down? I never got a chance to see them.

Unfortunately posting those images in a public forum would not be a good idea for us.

Won't be too long before you get to see them - I am suspicious that we'll see the same artwork in other countries as well - considering these WB steels are G2 sized.

As apsmith21 says, not a good idea to post them in a public forum. Although, there is a certain well known internet search engine which allows you to search images. If you search for this title, french edition, an image is displayed which is posted on the internet forum of a Canadian steelbook retailer. First or second image that comes up...

Found the picture, but can't find an example of the lenticular version like Futureshop had for Looper. Can't decide which one I like best, I guess that's exactly what the company's hoping for

 

[Top_cat2]

so was the embossing on the Text & swords & things confirmed ??

 

[Xmodifier]

question, is that 3D Lenticular really a steelbook?

 

[Wreck]

4 steel versions ... 3 same steels cept one has lenti for the 4th...

 

[fishcp2]

Are those confirmed to have this yellow band printed on them?

 

[jayce20]

waw looks lovely but why always this banner they have to stop with that we have enough on the covers !!!

hope the 3d version will get some emboss work

 

[Dino Last]

I really hope we get these in the UK, I very much doubt it though.

Unlikely, as lenticular cover! Hopefully will have a frame around removable lenticular magnet, like Titanic/MM exclusives, not like Looper FS!

All pass due to French writing. 4 different ways of milking money.

Ultimate edition - What a joke? There is going to be at least 5 more releases of this movie in different editions over the next 5 ~ 10 years.

Cost, 4G and streaming are big threats to optical media and they can't keep fooling around with consumers with the old school tricks.

 

[jayce20]

"ultimate edition" is just the collection call from WB editor ... just to say

and I have none except "dark shadows FNAC exclusive"

I understand the disapointment

And as an ultimate one, sorry to add this but it should be G1 size and NOT blu-ray size !!! (even noticed on item 1st post) so I may pass on them too ; just wait for the 3d version there can be an exclusive set from FNAC

Jayce20 "wash your mouth out young man" G1 "really"

 

[jayce20]
