Don't own many Arrow steelbooks but I don't think they are big on quality finishes (embossing, debossing etc....) Usually just matte I think.......

Although come to think of it my Battle Royale has nice debossing so hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

The title is screaming out for debossing here.

If your looking to order direct from Arrow Films Store

Due to overwhelming demand, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our Arrow Video Shop. We are working to get it back up as soon as possible

True, mostly "just" matte, but it´s always high quality print and artwork itself is great. As I don´t like matte finish generally, with Arrow I really don´t mind at all.

Yes!! It also says it's going to be a brand new 4k restoration (1080P).
Limited to 4000 copies.
Now show us the art :]

Thanks, @Flloydo

Due to overwhelming demand, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our Arrow Video Shop. We are working to get it back up as soon as possible. Equally, we are looking into why The Thing Ltd Ed is being listed as Currently Unavailable on Amazon Please keep checking both sites for when they are back up.

Massive demand this release has created

arrow been having tech difficulties havent been able to list it up on amazon or there own website, as was waiting on facebook to order with them,

 

[Flloydo]

Sounds like the majority who ordered the steel also ordered the box set


I genuinely can't wait for this. Been waiting for arrows release for while after hearing of whispers and been dying for the struzan art on metal for a loooong time

Will sit nicely with the horizontal play steel, mondo steel and waxwork vinyl

Just need a decent struzan print or poster now

It was the limited edition that had troubles on Amazon.

Not sure if they fixed that from earlier though
