Great to see 88 releasing more steelbooks, and with nice art too! But these prices are very off-putting.
 
As much as I love the film, and the blurays 88 Films release, I think I'll give this one a miss. I already own the standard bluray and the combination of reversable slip with original poster art, and slipcover with awesome new artwork. The steelbook is decent enough, but I don't really think it's any better than what I already have.

Thanks for letting us know, you are forgiven
 
Anyone know what the finish will be like on the steel? Really liking the look of the set.

Side note, my brother got the Short Circuit 2 set and the slip was really nice so hoping for something similar on that.
