stupid lazy Q : is there any premium version like FA coming out. tempted to get this. with another maximus GB.
 
With days of future past and amazing spiderman 2 they had a FPO over the artwork when advertising it and it turned out to be the final art, its more than likely the same with this.

Yes, it's possible, but where is the new image online because I can't find it anywhere?
It's not on HMV's Online site or on the BR.com's listing.

Maybe it'll be totally unimaginative and they'll use the same image - poster design by ART MACHINE - as on all the other U.K. BD releases (which also wouldn't be a first):-

Maybe it isn't final, but it seems odd that they'd change it from one mock-up to another, only to possibly go with something completely different in the end. Oh well... time will tell!

This is also what I thought and the reason I said it will be the art.

Why change it from one mock up to another. Like DOFP they did the same and when it changed it eneded up being the final art.

Also it seems like the art they would go with compared to the last mock up. Always knew the one with just appocaypse wouldn't be final.

Exactly mate... the new art seems more likely to be final. I do like the new one, but I preferred the original mock-up. Will be interesting to see what they use for back art. I'm just praying it ain't bare metal! :ohno:

Im very disappointed, the mock-up was very good with the skull in Apocalypses hand. Why they changed this? :-(

They haven't changed it officially as far as I can make out and like yourself I hope they don't.
As far as I can gather the new image appeared recently in HMV shops and has NOT appeared online anywhere, not even on HMV's own site.
Happy to wait and see whether they go with either TBC/FPO artworks or with something completely different :)
Not really bothered in any case by which choice they decide on as long as if they go with the original mock-up they move the title from the upper part to the lower part to just where "ARTWORK TBC" is printed.

Point of post is to show the different styles of U.K. X-MEN steelbooks and until the artwork is confirmed either on HMV's online site or elsewhere officially this new one could be GROUP, INDIVIDUAL, SYMBOL

This last artwork is gorgeous!! Love the effect with the horsemen ! Really glad they went with this! Hope there's the x-men team on the back or at least something not bland.
