No need to apologize for corporations. That is how business works.

Besides, who's to say they haven't been slowly bleeding collectors dry? I've been collecting SteelBooks for almost ten years now.

Lastly, collecting is a self-destructive hobby in and of itself.

I think the movie itself is a bit overrated, too long and could have been better

Matt finish

Comparison to my others in my Watchmen Collection.

I think you'll agree the difference between US and CAN FS is day and night.

+1 Ricster!

But there's something about that artwork that still makes me happy! I got my copy today and got to say that I like it put it next to my watchmen FS and they looked happy next to each other

Yeah. I'm happy to add it to the collection. Love the film. Just watching the paramount uk directors cut now (better pq). Great stuff. I'd buy more watchmen steels too, if they got released

Got the ultimate edition Warner set, but haven't picked up the new version yet, and one day hope to add the owl ship edition.

Well thanks for making me less impressed with my Matte version

That high gloss version DOES look much nicer....but not $100+ nicer

wow amazon usa suck balls compared to canada.

they make me wait over month before shipping, they send my steels out with no tracking, and now 10 days later i still aint received jack. what a crock.

Lesson learned - this will be my 1st and last from them - I shuda suck with amazon canada and their excellent all-round service.

3 weeks after dispatch mine finally arrived today - was just about to email them asking wtf happened to it - thought it was lost lol

all copies came in jiffy bags which is another black mark against amazon usa, but they all seem to be mint thank god.

also glad these were so cheap cause from what i can see in hand through the shrink wrap these are some dull looking steels if ever i saw one - the yellow looks real faded like it was left out in the sun too long.
Play.com version KILLS this one.

but ofc this being 2-disc version makes up alot i guess

 

[MrFurious]

Mine also arrived today and sent in a Jiffy bag all the way from America!!
Luckily not a mark on it, not a bad looking steel

 

[jammyone]

Ditto here, I'm absolutely amazed there's no damage

 

[leelee17]

i have to say i was a little concerned that my copy would arrive with some damage, however it came today and, despite arriving in a basic jiffy bag, it came completely intact. very pleased with this steelbook!!!!

Likewise. Turned up 3 weeks after ordering in a jiffy bag but appears to be in perfect condition. What a dull looking steelbook, though.

You've got to order more than one thing to get a box from amazon.com. Even a cheap amaray will do. I actually did this for Watchmen, but it took so long to ship that they sent the amaray first, so I still ended up with a jiffy.

got this yesterday, came in a jiffy unscathed thankfully

i do like this one, but it is true that it can't compare to fs that glossy finish just does this artwork wonders

Mine came in a jiffy too and luckily it wasn't damaged

I had three damaged Requiem for a Dream steelbooks from amazon.ca before I gave it up and ordered somewhere else (never ordered anything there after that)

It's too bad when Studios pump out a cheap reprint just for $$$$ , the high gloss FS one is still the one to have
