Shame as I would have liked to add it to my collection but I'm not a huge fan of full lenti-card cover steels 'with the exception of MoS BB'.

Taiwan will definatley kill the competition out there with it's release, slips talks these days!

I really wish Taiwan would release it with Thorin artwork but as you said slips talks these days

Yes, the amazon.de is only the 2D Steelbook and the MM one is 3D/2D with a full size lenticular magnetic card with different artwork (underneath the magnet there "might" be the same artwork as amazon.de version though)!

Has it been confirmed it will definitely be full sized again?

I thought it wasn't released until the 11th?

Both Saturn and Media Markt will sell this steel on friday, but ever since I live in my city one of the stores sold their exclusive titles earlier (tuesday/wednesday), therefore tomorrow should be the day...

(Just keep in mind: Saturn once sold the Harry Potter film 7.1. in all!!! stores one full week prior the general release date. It was also Eastern time...)

I still hope that there will someday be a steelbook with the poster artwork of the dragon sleeping in all that treasure and another one with the door open artwork for the first movie.

This is the one that I'm going for. This and I'll probably pick up the UK steel on a price drop hopefully.

amazon.de DOES sell this one but only with the "Guards of Erebor" edition. The other one steel is only 2D (with the Gandalf cover like UK) so your info is incomplete.

Well, that EDITION is OOS already... right

So confirmed now

Can't say I like this... still... only lenti out there (at least that we know of).

Kimchi????

darczap · Apr 9, 2014

This is the one to get at least in my opinion. Only lenti. out there for it. I'll take a lenti. over a 1/4 slip with asian text, unless it's a kimchi exclusive or a special release from JSDVD (like the 1st Hobbit).

FYI ninjas the UK 3D amaray has the same lenticulur image on the slipcase (with english). So you can fashion your own custom lenticulur magnet for your uk steelbook and then sell the amaray. Much better than double dipping. I was inspired by GeekTragedy into doing custom lenti magnets and now it's an obsession!

Yep my amaray came with one (also with a spine slash grrr). Only downside to the UK lenti is the ratings logos and banner at the top (although it's been reduced in size to what they have been recently) The US one doesn't have the ratings logos, wish ours were like that.
