not sure when was the last time I passed on a Korean steelbook.

The days of being a completist on any Asian steels - whether it be Korea, Taiwan or Japan - seem well and truly over to me. I know some collectors have EVERY release from either one or the other of those countries, but that kind of collecting is rapidly becoming unsustainable. There's just too much stuff being recycled and knocked out over and over to keep up with.

The genuine Asian exclusives (such as Iron Sky Japan or T2 Korea) are as attractive and collectable as ever, but all this rehashed stuff just makes you realise that it's time to draw the line somewhere.

The day is not far when steelbook will replace amaray case [like BLU RAY REPLACED DVD] which will leed to collectors wanting something new .

I was thinking this one might have a picture slip like 300, but alas not.

The artwork seems to have less contrast than the UK one?

[frankfish44]

Just wondering if these are the UK premium wave with just a slip added?

 

[VRob98]

Yep, that's exactly what they are.

 

[lgans316]

Steelbook same as the terrible UK release.

 

[frankfish44]

So nothing special about these as I already had and moved a couple of the UK premium editions. Slips are not the best either. Would be nicer if they had a continuation of the art on the slip for a smooth transition
