It isn't a rigid slip paul. I know, I've had it for a week now.
It's essentially the same as the jaws 1 & 2 slips (and megan, and duel), except the spine end is fully sealed and enclosed now, vs the flap that was there previously.
This makes it feel more sturdy, but it's still the same double walled, light glossy card slip it was before. Which is not rigid, aka hannibal, atomic blonde, hard target etc...
Jaws 3 is a Rigid Slipbox
It's not same as duel as that was a soft cardboard flexible slipbox
It's also not the same as jaws 1 as that was also a soft cardboard flexible slipbox used with the Zavvi SteelBook Exclusive and HMV Exclusive Cine Edition
You're wrong paul. It's "improved", yes. More sturdy, sure, but there's very little difference between it and Jaws 2. I'm holding them both now. It's not one of Universal's actual "rigid" slips.
Rigid means hard not flexible and that is what Jaws 3 slip is and that's why it's sturdy
It's not same as the jaws 1 and megan and duel as they used soft cardboard flexible slipcases
I have this in hand and it's better that the first Jaws/Duel slips, much more sturdy, but in no way is it a proper rigid case as the card is not thick enough, it's simply not in the same league as the Exorcist Boxsets for example (i have this here with me now) or in fact the usual WB Boxsets / Second Sight / Arrow etc....
There is different types of rigid Slips that can vary in regards to thickness of each slip and can also vary due to amount of contents included.
The hint to rigid slip is it's hard and not flexible
Jaws 1 and megan and duel they used soft cardboard slips that is why they was very flexible slipcases as you can bend those slips and they was prone to getting easily creased or out of shape.
No I won't as it is a rigid slip
It's a hard stiff and not flexible that is what a rigid means
You compared it Jaws 1 and megan and duel those yes was not rigid as they was soft cardboard slips that was easy to bend flex and get creased
Jaws 3 slip is not in anyway the same as those 3 releases
Yep, exactly this. Paul is just reeling off the collins definition of the word rigid, and repeating it again, and again, and again lol

It's robotic to adhere to the dictionary is a wild line

Jaws 2 is the same type of slip paul, and I've compared the 2 in hand today. 3 has a better design, but that's about it.
The material of the slips are the same.. the only difference is the enclosed spine, and the extra layer of card to the top and bottom edges. It's more sturdy, and I'll say it for about the 5th time, but it is not one of UNIVERSAL'S RIGID SLIPS.
They have a rigid slip, and a lenticular slip. This is the latter.
I"m not talking about the dictionary definition of the word rigid you plumb. That should be evident to anyone by now.
I'd be more worried about the poor restoration i have been hearing of this title as the reviews have been coming in over the past few days.
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm currently dealing with terrible Zavvi as usual sorting out my banged up copy, so I've ordered from Amazon and will get the Zavvi one returned for a refund.
Got mine from Orbit DVD today, excellent packed.
My Jaws collection so far:
And yeah… Jaws 3 clearly has a sturdy double walled slipbox, but no „rigid“ slipbox.
