Very nice package the lenti , looks like Im going to switch it with my fullslip A coz it seems like it got no special finish but will see how it feels in hand.....Steelbook looks better than expected....and lenticular cards are also nice surprise....overall it seems like really great release, can´t wait for mine to show up

the lenti card effect was shared previously and appeared as part of the Beauty Shot

Woohoo my Pung FS A copy has been shipped

 

[Real Steel]

such a beautiful package. would have gone for FS A if not for the lenti. the steelbook debossing is so good. love the continuous artwork and the brushed finish.

My package i stuck at Belgian customs. Smells bad for me.

Sick quality on Full Slip B.. fully textured with bossing and spot gloss

Eagerly waiting for my lenti to arrive. Fortunately it's the only version non affected by the "DITRECTOR" misspelling

It always baffles me thinking how much money these companies spend on production, rights, shipments... then they can't hire someone who spell-checks those 2-3 English words (or quotes) they put over their slips.

Ditrector, lol. I may see if I can scrape it off mine when it arrives, then again I'd have to scrape the whole sentence and just leave the name

There's a slip replacement program for corrected spelling . Contact the site you bought from.

For a premium issue, the finishing touches are real shoddy. Kind of rob away the joy when it's in hand:

I'm already afraid of Pung's answer.

@Real Steel
Can you please mention the flaws ? Not easy based on the pictures only.
1st is sticker misaligned ?
What about the others ?

 

[Headhunter]

@Jocelin @Real Steel I thought similar actually. The lenti isn't full size against the slipcover so there's a clear gap and the paper of the slip is folded weirdly so it risks getting torn (hard to explain). Also, I hadn't realised the steel was matte!

Seems crazy given the price of this but this one I'll be keeping in a protector and not taking out again.

@Jocelin, they are not exactly flaws but just minor imperfections that could have been avoided. Firstly, yes, the sticker is badly misaligned. Secondly, the shrink wrap ends in lumpy folds in places. I know it's just the shrink wrap but this being a pricey premium release, it could have been better done. (Even some cheap amaray have neat shrink wrap.)

And, also, as @Headhunter mentioned, the lenti leaves a big gap on the right edge. Plus my steelbook unfortunately has a little ding on the front cover.

 

[Wychtlsn]

Didn´t manage to grab a lenti so the quarter it is.
Very nice release

 

[Real Steel]

@Headhunter I knew the steelbook was going to be matte brushed steel. I like brushed steel because of its reflective shine of the colours under the light, and also you can feel the cool smoothness of the steel, but I find the colour print a little too faint.
