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, I collect steelbooks only and could care less about a slip or any paper that ends up in my trash anyways. Its a PIECE of Cardboard, why not just stop collecting steels and go for what you really want. amarays with slips.

Soooo, to sum up....for a barebones steelbook with no frills, this one is perfect.

Some Steelbooks simply HAVE to be in your collection. This is in that bracket.

There are certain Steels I can remember opening 5 years ago, others I can't recall 5 weeks back.

My eyes were transfixed on the embossing, the intense white, the shimmering bare metal, and tight wrap of seal reflecting back like sheet of glass protecting a Damien Hirst work of art.

Memorable, utterly memorable.

Arrived today! Fantastic steel. Mint condition! Stunning! I do think Whiplash will give it a run for its money tho.

This is one of the best steelbooks ever made I'm gutted that mine has a spine slash though it is very faint it's there on the one steelbook you want to be perfect so i have a dilemna. I can't see this coming back in stock so i may send this back to Zavvi and go for ebay to get a mint copy as my ocd can't handle a spine slash on such a stunning steelbook.

I think your best option is to get someone from Germany to order you one. There must be some left in stock at MM.

 

[spass]

Omg!!!!

What have I done, not picking this up! Looks absolutely stunning!
I'm dying to see the film as well. Can't believe I didn't bought this when it was back in stock a few days ago. Jesus!

If you go the ebay route for a "mint copy", you'll have to buy an opened steel, you can't guarantee a sealed one will not have hidden imperfections....
