I hope Best Buy gets one but if not I think this will be the copy I go with seems easier to get amazon.uk steels then Futureshop steels and the cost is a lot less.

what's a zero finish?

what's a zero finish?

Flip went through the types of finish in the Looper UK Thread: https://www.hidefninja.com/~hdninjas/forums/showpost.php?p=452125&postcount=261

"Zero finish is as neutral finish - a blend of matt and gloss

Spot gloss is a mix of gloss and matt and is used to highlight certain areas in the artwork.

both finishes are shiny

this info is from scanavo themselves"

does anyone know how many of these are left? i tried putting an orde of 999 but it wouldnt work as you are allowed a max of two, so is there another way to find out? Cheers

there are over a thousand copies left

put the item in your basket and change the quantity to 999 and it should show you the exact amount left in stock (except its 1k+)

You can't have any other items in your cart to do this trick!

I may be getting confused here but isn't zero finish therefore the same as spot gloss. They are both a mixture of matte and gloss?

I think zero is shiny overall with no real highlighted areas but Spot is where certain parts are more shiny than others.

That's what I took from it anyhow

cheers, i want to order this but not at that price lol, im hoping it will drop to about £16 before release, i dont get why its so expensive when they sold Skyfall and Taken 2 Steelbooks for only £15

As with most exclusives you're better off pre-ordering and then cancelling rather than risk missing out altogether. Amazon have a price promise so if it does drop between you ordering and release date then they charge you the cheapest.

The Steelbook.com advert for Amazon UK's edition still has me worried about a blue banner

 

[Maccadinho25]

http://steelbook.com/catalogue/the-hobbit/

No blue banner

 

[wjasoncul]

http://steelbook.com/catalogue/the-hobbit/

No blue banner

That also doesn't show the embossing on Taken 2 but we know it's there.

 

[Maccadinho25]

So as it doesnt show something good on one picture of a different steelbook then we presume it wont show something bad on another :/ When was the last time the UK had a steelbook released with a blue banner?

Look at the images in the opening post in the spoilers, it shows front and back with the dimensions etc and no blue banner - it wont have one!
