Thanks for the pics, it looks good! They really should have stuck the numbered sticker on the slipcase though instead of the shrink wrap.

Nah i orderer 3 Variant, one of them had no numbered sticker... FML

thats terrible QC! got the regular edition coming in. looks even better than before!

 

[svenning]

That would have been an improvement for sure. I would say that isn't even good enough in this case though. We are paying $10 extra for a limited edition set. In my opinion that should warrant a number printed on the steel. Not sure about everyone else, but I collect steelbooks, not stickers and slipcovers.

Make sure you guys use a hairdryer for the sticker. Makes it easy to peel and won't bend (usually).

Well it's better than receiving 20 copies with a slashed spine, especially when those are low numbered! (between 15 and 35)!!!

Crap.
Strangely enought, my Variants were almost all perfect. The SD were a mess though... strange...

I was in a FutureShop in Toronto yesterday and it looked like it had been pillaged by a rampaging hoard of Ninjas! No Looper's left and only 2 Boyhood's!

Hum... stores only get really limited stock of Mondo release.
Drive: 4-5 per store
Boyhood: 5-8 sd per store (no variant)
Looper: 2-3 sd per store (no variant)

I'm actually mildly disappointed in this line of steelbooks so far. I love the artwork, I love the exclusivity, but I'm not a fan of the design inconsistency so far across 3 releases (4 after Rambo). To start:

1) Drive has no variant edition - and as of now Rambo doesn't either. I'm sure there's some sort of logical reason this choice was made but for OCD/completists like myself it's a collecting nightmare.
and
2) The design of the slipcovers for both regular and variant editions. Look at rj531's post (thanks for posting pics!) 3 posts above mine to see the differences. On the variants, the sticker is a major eyesore. I love my numbered editions as much as the next guy but these don't look good. For the regulars, the top left corner with the Bluray/DVD/Digital Copy logos are different on all 3 so far. Both in terms of sizing and with what's included in the package. The Mondo X Steelbook/Future Shop banner across the middle isn't in the same location or the same size on any of the three - wtf?

Don't get me wrong, it's not enough to stop me from buying any of these because I love the style - but it looks lazy and sloppy when you line them up together. I appreciate each and every one of them in isolation though, and I can't wait to see more.

Agreed ! the only things that its perfect for OCD is the number on the spine !
Thanks for the pic @zerox39

 

[darksider]

Pre-ordered variant edition and I returned my copy to story for refund. Wasn't impressed with the look of the steel book.

What are the 3 Steels on the left? Maybe a clue to a future release!

Wonder what the gold one is...

Wonder what the gold one is...

It may be just a sample but perhaps its Iron Giant?

 

[Last Lizard]

Is the gold sticker on the variant supposed to be a gold credit from the movie? I've looked at this a few times and never thought about it until now.

Yup. The gold bars.
