No title. And the movie was good, not great--if it has one thing going, it was the beautiful imagery. So why on earth would they stick a close up shot of one character on the cover? Where is the mirror? Where is Freya's throne of ice? Where are the goblins, the dwarves, Ravenna, Sara? Hello?! Hemsworth is a good looking dude, but that art screams BACK cover. Terrible choice for front cover artwork.

Seems like universal have now the same model as Disney with title less spines. This also shows how the drop in standards of some steelbooks as the one from the 1st film is far superior. Such a waste, but money saved

It's an absolute disgrace, and I for one won't be buying a single steelbook that has a title-less spine. We should have made a bigger fuss when it happened the first time (Mockingjay Part 1?) then maybe this could have been stopped before it got out of hand.

I suppose every Universal steelbook that comes out now will also have a massive zoomed-in face of the main character :rolleyes:. Fcking hell, when did steelbook collecting get so depressing?!

Ordered Mine :happy:

...will wait of course to see as other country will surely pop up offering this steel as well...it's Universal just 2000 copies for Zavvi I doubt that very much.

Even though I love the artwork I doubt that it will remain, Artwork always changes when releases are put for pre-order that early.
 
pre-ordered for now just seen after the event NO BLOODY SPINE TITLE

will keep for the min but am on the look out for one with a spine title
if nothing decent turns up will have to get one made like on hunger games!

Hoping for a TRUE GOLD colouring on this steelbook as only very few gold steelbooks on my shelves.
Liking the Huntsman image on the front even though it's not taken from official poster art and hoping for Ms. Theron on the back in maybe the image with the raven from the poster designed by LA (same people responsible for the big-head designs on the Amazon exclusive "Hunger Games: Complete Collection" steelbook released recently).

"Eye pleasing, easy going, well narrated sci-fi story with very nice play. "

I'm personally of the belief that there is a title on the spine--but it's in gold font. So we just can't see it since the spine and the font are the same color.

Not the best looking steel, looks more like Thor 3. No title on the spine. It doesn't match the first steelbook at all.
It will need a very big price drop before I even think about a purchase.

Trouble is Baz by pre-ordering you're helping to ensure that it will stay title-less. I'd cancel mate and re-order at a later date if you still want it.

This would have been an instant purchase for me, loved the first one, and was really looking forward to watching the second. However now I've seen there's zero titles I flatly refuse to buy. Time we voted with our wallets people, continuing to purchase titleless steels simply sends them the message to keep doing it.

At this rate with more and more titleless ones appearing on the market it will soon become a total headache to find anything in your collection when faced with row upon row of blank spine.
