Yep, super pleased with it!

Just received mine this afternoon.

Although it now means that, for the first time in a long time, I have no outstanding steelbook orders with anybody!

for some reason, i wasn't expecting this to come out as a steel, or a 4K one, so this was a nice surprise. for those with an interest:

like @K1SK1S said, the artwork's good, a wraparound design that manages to have both separate aspects and also joining ones, with a nice treatment depending on what angle the light's at:

the front artwork focuses on Paul McGann:

inside, the 'extra mile' approach is evident from separate disc art and three discs, with a bonus disc with an awful lot of content on it, plus the brief booklet:

overall, i'm very happily surprised by this.

plus it can now go before my modern Who steel collection (although the first Jodie Whittaker season artwork now really stands out, and not in a good way ).
