Steelbook is exactly what I wanted and close enough to @Noodles original mock up so im glad to see that.

The purple slip is also a huge want so I'm happy with that also but I can’t stand that back. Does not go with the slip at all imo

Extras seem fine too. Pretty much what I envisioned for a pin but personally I don’t think it needs a script book. overall happy and looks great but don’t like the back of that slip.


I really don’t care for the other slips tho. Especially the Zi Xu art. It’s her worst piece she’s ever done
 
Stunning looking set. Limited space will probably limit me to the 1\4 slip, but I am a bit comfused. Probably being a bit dense but the 1/4 slip looks like a full slip…
 
box & steelbook are beauties :drool:

dont like the s&s edition... 1/4 slip would be the better choice imo

xl-b is the edition i like the most... will buy this one

I'll create an update weekly/monthly with progress updates on all items within the sets leading up to release.

Videos, pictures and written updates all the way through

Appreciate all the great feedback, means a lot, thanks as always!
Awesome, that’s what I was hoping for, thank you

I realize how crazy everyone is going for this so I understand how annoying this question might be.

I am so new to the steelbook space and have no clue how GBs work (group buys, correct?) If anyone could explain here or in a DM that would be so appreciated.

No problem.

Shipping was utter crap from me on LS which I've said I'd right that wrong with this. Lessons were well learned!

The majority of feedback from LS was that everyone really welcomed the constant updates & video progress each week/fortnightly & monthly, so I will be continuing on with that moving forward for each release.

I want it to be different then just giving your money up and not hearing anything till shipping date or longer.

Appreciate the support
 
.just another update. I submitted two versions of XLB as I couldn't decide on the rear. The intention was to spot gloss the entire fence grates which I think will look great in hand.

Here's V2 , any feedback between the two would be great.

Every other edition stays as is.

Trying to get an image to flow and match Nicks colour scheme was horrible. I'm really happy with the back personally and think it's fits it well.

The image is from the end credits of the movie

Dan was wondering have you had a steel prototype knocked up yet that could show at all?

I personally like this V2 version more, it makes for a more cohesive slip as the colors blend in nicer. I understand that you can do some interesting effects with back of V1 but I think the difference in the pictures make it a bit more jarring for me.
