Looks cool, but did the manufacturer really have to put the serial number on the front of the lenticular magnet (bottom left) instead of on the back? It just stands out once you've seen it

Good spot matey. Wonder if the MM version will be the same?

 

[Scottyrnumber]

IMO this is the best 3D version! I don't like the MM exclusive

After cancelling my Gollum copy.i may well reorder it after seeing some pics.just don't like the yellow banner

Gollum arrived this morning (my precious).
Apart from the torn cellophane it looks very nice in hand

Agree! I'd prefer a difference back cover but apart from that I love everything about it. Even the artworks on the discs look awesome and go really well with the inside art.

I opened my UK copy, this one is supposed to be a keeper but with the cellophane damaged I may yet open it

Ok, if you decide to open it please post some pictures I wonder if all editions have the same artwork inside.

 

[Engelskind]

The inside and back artwork of the 2d steelbooks is the same from the 3d one.

Here are some pics of Gollum (thanks to Olorin @bluray-disc.de)

The disc art looks cool

So the back art is the same for every single release ah?

Maybe'll they'll use this cover art of the extended version and create better back art then.

I think Bilbo holding/hiding the ring in his hand behind him as a front cover.
And Gollum reaching out on the back cover would work well together.
If they do it at the right angles it would look like gollum is reaching for the ring in bilbo's hand when the steelbook is opened.
