YUS.

I liked Crimson Peak, I thought Hellboy 2 was fairly average though. I am looking forward to seeing this! I've heard good things.

Nice art. Hopefully WWA.

@cooey runs a dedicated thread for HMV releases. I’m sure he’d be glad to help

I'm 100% in

What 24.99 - that must be a mistake - I will not pay less that 30 for my 4K steelbooks!!!!

The cover art is by James Jean in case anyone was wondering. He has quite a volume of work behind him. Worth a flash on Google images if you have 60 secs. I can recommend the Rebus art book which compiles a lot of his pictures if it's your thing.

LOL, it's HMV and not Zavvi +£30 4K pricing

The site says it's just one disc, maybe a standard blu ray isn't included hence a sub £30 price point.

From the website -

The Shape of Water (hmv Exclusive) 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition Steelbook includes UHD, Blu-ray and Digital Download

Never mind the description says a boy ray and digital code is included

Ordered. Great wrap around art

£24.99 is fine when US retailers ask $34.99. I am sure our beloved premium retailers would charge £45 for this by adding some goodies. If you want cheap 4K UHD then just keep checking AV Forums and the Bay. 95% of my 4k UHD Amarays were bought for under £12 a piece.

Horrible artwork

Looks beautiful but I was thinking for some time if it makes sense to buy 4k Blu`s if they are not shot in 4k. I stopped buying also post-produced 3D movies too. I might stick to 2d Steelbook if there will be any

I suspect it's more to do with the studios, rather than the stores.

Personally if Zavvi/Disney are charging 30+ for a 4K steelbook, it should at least include 3D as well!!

Also no DTS=X / Atmos on this one. Looks like the theatrical mix was 5.1.

This looks fantastic.

Might have to pop into HMV and stick a pre order in.

Amazing! So happy with the design choice and 4K disc. I nearly ordered the standard 4K USA release today, but thought I'd check for any upcoming steelbooks.

This will go nicely with the Pan's Labyrinth steelbook

Just wish they get a nice 4K disc for Pan's Labyrinth too.

Was hoping for this splendid artwork . . . was very disappointed with the original TBC image :-

Perfect pricing for a 4K + BD steelbook package . . . would still be nice to have the option of just the regular Blu-ray for 18 quid max. . . . good however to see the message is slowly trickling through somewhere - that the price point for these 2 disc packages should be no more than 25 quid.

So, what is the shape of water?

Love this artwork, pre-ordered for now. Will take the wife to see it soon as she loves Pans, so hopefully like this too
