Wondering what Mr.Kubrick would've made of a yellow as opposed to a red steelbook - what with red being the signature colour of the film - and conclude that he'd have preferred the yellow if only because he preferred the yellow Saul Bass poster to the red Saul Bass ...

... and continuing with the yellow theme he'd have been most happy today about the yellow tennis ball in the 4K restoration instead of the pink seen on previous Blus:-

It's another question however whether he'd have appreciated the steelbook maze style artwork as he wasn't a fan - going by his notations - of 'maze artwork' on at least a couple of the 300 reported rejected poster designs for his film:-

Got my copy in today. I think it turned out pretty good. The yellow looks matte finish (not a streaky one though) possibly and all the lettering is spot gloss.
