Both Glasses frames and Pendant Neckchain show a metallic shine when SteelBook is tilted






Side view of SteelBook it's not paint chips just 2 dust particles that I forgot to wipe off before taking photo

Paul already shared better photos, but thanks anyway

Really like the artworks for this and Nikita, but the finishes obviously let them down massively! Definitely gonna wait for a price drop.

I took them, posted them and left to go out. Didn’t even look at the thread

I tell you what the amount of grief and edits I get with OPs from Paul and he’s not even added a spoiler!!! One rule for one and one for others. Shall I edit his post?

Same and the finish has proper p!ssed me off. Should’ve been spot glossed. I’ve got a scratch on the front at the top so I’m sending it back and I’ll think I’ll pick it up again when it drops below £20

Yeah man, it's screaming for spot gloss on the characters. At least they went to the effort of putting artwork on the discs though.

Yeah the imagery is lovely. Just blows my mind sometimes that they think that finish is fine for that price point. I just don’t get it. Especially as a lot will now wait on a price drop. You’re using f**king nice artworks, do something special to it. And it shouldn’t even be special, that should be the norm

are zavvi fine about returning steelbooks once you open?

 

[walkintom]

So the only extras on this are the new ones listed? None of the extras from the previous steel?

It’s got a scratch mate. Therefore damaged. I don’t give a f**k if it’s open or not. It was HMV fyi but yeah you can send back with any kind of damage, it’s your right

When posting photos I use thumbnail images only not full size
Look at the difference in size of photos from mine to yours

Are you aware when you post large size images that slows down thread page loading for some users that might not have fast internet on their device

Are you aware you have a nasty habit of sounding incredibly condescending?

You need to keep your previous Blu-ray/UHD releases if you still want those older extras

I thought it was a requirement when selling as a business via mail order to accept returns for any reason? If it's damaged they'll cover the return postage but if you're changing your mind that's on you.

Anyone can just damage whatever they receive and claim it was shipping damage, if someone wants to return something better to encourage them to do it in original condition so you can resell without issue.

Annoying.

They expect us to pay £35 for every new 4k steelbook, once the HMV discount goes I'm going to be skipping a lot of new releases. They're probably doing me a favour.

It does make me wonder what happens during the design phases for these sets, they went to the trouble of choosing some great art, made sure it matches for the discs etc and then that finish. I'm sure there's pressures to make things as cheaply as possible but it's still a shame, on the bright side this makes me feel better about skipping this even though I really like the artwork.

I’m on a phone. It’s all the same to me

Are you aware I put everything but the first image in spoilers so that people can choose to look at the others or not with less lag? as I’m fully aware photos slow the threads down. But not no where near as bad as people that don’t add spoilers or that post IG links. They are much slower for me

I'm not convinced they are dust particles, I think you mean the other thing

Great photo, thanks for sharing
