What about the us in the US??? We want these awesome steels!!!

It does seem strange when you think about it that the biggest studios are all in america you make most of the big blockbusters but get very little steelbooks.

 

[ocielz]

All we get are some slips

Thought the German wave was good butthis is just amazing. It will be one hell of an expensive month

Official

we’re trying to achieve quite simple artwork with the iconic imagery but similar to the Fast & Furious 5 Steelbook the artwork will be landscape.

Artwork will only be on the front of pack and maybe reverse

Also no inside artwork, I did however try stressing that the collector community overall would really like back artwork as well if possible.

 

[DK06CTR]

thanks for the info wreck, so are these queersteels then or normal?

 

[Man of Steel]

What a pile of rubbish! I knew Play and Universal would mess up..... LANDSCAPE art, No inside art and back art only being a possibility?

What the hell is going on? They need to take a look at Tinker-Tailor-Soldier-Spy steelbook, that's the standard so far for 2012!

Wreck can you PM me? I would like to email them myself and point them towards this thread of what the collectors would like!

 

[DK06CTR]

well if these are landscape and on the side thats just ruled me out of all of this wave. what a shame and a real mess up by universal. you can tell them that aswell wreck.

at least like the german wave should have been the minimum.
