I'm waiting for any other retailer than Zavvi to release this steel, and then I'll buy it. I'm not that into Zavvi right now...still mad at them for not taking care of me on three damaged steels, especially because of how loyal I've been to them and always defended them against angry collectors. They finally gave me the shaft. They are not getting much of my money these days, I'd rather give my ca$h to Film Arena or any one else

The steel does look nice...I really want to see this film...but everyone going crazy saying SteelBook of the year and all that is dreaming. If PLAIN' ZDT PET Slip doesn't kill this, then Oldboy will.

Come on now, ZAVVI ain't winning another SteelBook of the year, not in this lifetime.

It's not a zavvi exclusive.

Amazon UK and Germany sell it too. And I'm just looking at the steel. Not the whole packaging.

If looking at the steel only, I'm sorry. This blows Plains ZDT away, easily.

You mean booklet of the year, because that is pretty much what you are looking at with ZDT PET.

 

[InAFalsetto]

It's definitely not a "STEELBOOK OF THE YEAR" ... Top 5 yeah.

My Avengers Novamedia, HDZeta Gladiator ... and soon Blufans GoTG are already better. This is in 4th place as it has kept to the essence of the film. The steelbook itself looks like it possesses some form of A.I. i'm expecting it to talk to me. Turn on my room lights etc like Jarvis does for Tony Stark.

 

[SteelbookGenius666]

Just received this, quite nice, but I'll still be voting for Oz as Steelbook of the year.....

I'd have to agree with you here, and the same goes for most Kimchi/Nova/Blufans while we're at it, yes nice steelbooks most of the time, but it's the overall packaging people seem to exited about with those, not the steelbook which is what I thought was the point of the hobby in the first place....

This is pure 'Steelbook', no padding, no nonsense hiding the real beauty of this gem. And this should definitely be near the top 3 of any HDN Steelbook Of The Year poll for 2015, it's so far my number 1.

Mine arrived today btw.

Can't agree more. Well said.

It's my nr1 so far too.

When I think of Steelbook of the year, I think total package, not just steel, right?

We are all very into packaging here, are we not? Lol

So far, here are my top 5:

1. ZDT PET by PLAIN
2. Avenger's Lenti by NOVA
3. Gladiator Full Slip by HDZeta
4. John Wick Lenti by NOVA
5. Reserved for OLDBOY by PLAIN

No sorry, but I have to agree with the above its the steelbook that matters to me, that's what I collect. Slips etc while nice are just add ons, I rarely double dip and don't need every version of a slip because the most important aspect is the steelbook.

This is easily in the running for steelbook of the year, and wipes the floor with those you listed if comparing only the steelbook.

 

[.Lethal]

In your opinion yes, others can think what they want too.

Not intending to single you out but a few appear to express extremely strong opinions onto others over a title that is
meaningless.

You think this wipes the floor with Nova's The Avengers SteelBook?

Interesting, it's only June and people are already talking about Steelbook of the year...
