my copy turned up this morning. got a nice score bang in the middle of the spine

 

[Orekul]

Mine turned up, looks like they are back to using the boxes. Not a mark on mine though, phew.

Quite a plain looking steelbook though, no embossing or debossing on this. Just a plain flat one, we've been spoilt with the recent flood, however for £18 I expected more.

 

[SYKES]

Mine arrived today in the crappy box from HMV and survived that and the 4 feet drop from my letterbox to my floor. Pictures up until someone post HQ ones.

BTW this is Region B locked and comes with the UNRATED version.

No embossing or debossing and no inside art! Major fail. Glad I joined the group buy for the FS version.

NO INSIDE ART!!

So glad I went for the Futureshop 'District 12' edition over this then.

HMV suck once again. What a disappointing rip-off for the price

 

[hayemaker]

No inside art, that's pathetic. For £18 they're having a laugh (even though I got this with the discount code).

 

[Bk2DaFuture]

Gotta agree with what your all saying here. This steelbook is shocking so glad i got the FS District 12 as well! If only play.com had got the Hunger Games steelbook for the UK they would of done a better job, a fail once again from HMV!

 

[Twanky]

by the sounds of it the discount code softened the blow.
still havent got to see mine yet. post doesnt turn up to mine until about 3pm.
thats if it turns up. suprised PLAY didnt get in on this one.

 

[BMox81]

While it's not in the same league as the D12 steelie, I don't think it's as bad as what everyone is making it out to be.

I definitely prefer it over the Canadian Mockingjay version that's for sure.

 

[Scottyrnumber]

No iNside artwork haven't HMV learnt anything. Apart from that I do prefer this to the future shop edition, as I prefer matte finish steels

 

[Malky78]

£18 and no inside art it a bad joke.

 

[Man of Steel]

Lionsgate are normally very good with their steelbook releases, I wonder what on earth bloody happened here?

I think they tried to maximise their profits by giving us the most basic SB.

 

[prophecygirl]

Shame there's no inside art but I do like the cover. Mine's at home waiting for me.

 

[Noodles]

Shame there's no interior art, but I don't think it's a big deal... you can add your own if you're that bothered. I'm just happy it has both front and back art with no printed logos/info.

 

[snooloui]

Postman has been and gone, no sign of this or my copy of Rumble Fish (getting beyond a joke with that one).

 

[SimonLDT]

Remember The Expendables 3 disc SB edition...? Lionsgate let us down yet again. Glad I went Canadian instead.

 

[Flasawoo]

I really don't think it's as big a deal as people are making it out to be either, the Drive HMV exclusive had no inside art (or embossing) either but it is still one of my favourite steels and I have seen many people on here who agree with me on that.

Also I really like the front/back. Don't usually go for the matte finish paint, I find it just doesn't produce the vibrant colours of a glossy finish but I must admit they have done a really good job with this one.

 

[hayemaker]

To be honest I expect every non-German steelbook to have inside art now, so anything else will likely be a disappointment.

I think it's because Drive was the best version available. I also think the artwork was much better anyway, especially the back. This on the other hand is very plain looking and both FS releases are miles better, that's why it's a bit of a let down.

 

[BluSteel2012]

My Futureshop 'District 12' Steelbook's just come through the door

The run time is 2Hrs 22m. Looks like it's the Unseen version also as it's the same length as the HMV Blu Ray
