Thanks dv8mad for the pictures, much appreciated

Have a mixed feelings about the slips on both, well I kinda knew that The Goonies will have none but Prom is kinda the usual semi slip from Japan these days, it's either you like it or don't and I'm not 100% sure it's worth it tbh, especially that this lacks big time in every department compared to TW & KR which I currently own both and very pleased with, so looks like I will be cancelling both 'The Goonies will most likely come to the UK/KR too', thanks again for posting these shots and congrats man

Poor slip and looks like both are matte finish.

 

[VRob98]

Yeah that's a pretty dull slip for Prometheus. Taiwan and Korea versions both kill it. I tend not to get too excited about Japanese releases these days as the slips almost invariably disappoint.

Looks like no slips at all for the Warner wave.

 

[lgans316]

The previous Warner wave didn't have any slips either.

 

[dv8mad]

Sorry to disappoint!

 

[lgans316]

3000 JPY + postage + 1 disc only + poor slip. Very poor show Japan.

Sorry to disappoint!

Not at all man, if it's not for your kind help by posting these pictures most of us WILL then be disappointed to get them and see them in-hand after it's been paid for, I for one am much appreciated and really thankful for helping me out saving a lot of doh on these

Both cancelled

 

[TobinFrost]

Very disappointed

YA does not want to cancel my order

 

[chanfm]

Cancelled.

Thanks for the photos. Unfortunately mine has shipped but thats the chance you take. Win some, lose some. I'll still give it a good home

Well said DJ, couldn't agree more. Posting pictures is ALWAYS appreciated, even if it's not what we ideally hope to see.

Unfortunately mine has shipped but thats the chance you take.

Yep mine too. Being something of a Prometheus nut I'm not TOO gutted, but I'm going to be wary of ordering any new Japanese releases in future. After all the disappointments recently (Spider-Man, Prometheus, Star Wars, this new Warner wave), the old excitement and anticipation of Japanese releases has well and truly gone. Tbh many of the new steels coming out of the UK with embossing and picture slips are way nicer.

When it comes to Asian releases these days, it seems Taiwan and Korea are the ones to go for, with Japan lagging distantly behind.

I will still be getting it.. But you guys know why!!

 

[earthscope]

Glad I cancelled now !! More than happy with my TW, Play.com steels of this....

I really wish JP would stop doing these tiny slips, lazy effort I think..

Just means more money for Blufans...

Epic Fail! Unfortunately I can't cancel my order since it's "in transit". Considering canceling my Dredd pre order cause the slip could end up being the sameway.

I am in the same situation as you. So I get Prometheus and 300.

I was able to cancel this Alex but they have already shipped Amadeus and 300 out so will just have to bite the bullet on those.

Although Amadeus is a WEA, but with matt finish and no slip still a let down !!

Hopefully in hand it looks ok..

Yep I had this grouped with Sucker Punch which makes it even more worse since the artwork is the same worlwide. At least it didn't cost me too much to get both.

Those might be the best 2 next to V for Vendetta since the coverart is unique.

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I cancelled my Prometheus steel this morning but I'm keeping the rest of the June 5th wave.

Considering Amadeus and a few others have WEA I don't really mind that they are missing slips, and I will hold out hope for a more premium finish.

 

[blu-steel]

I am shocked at the replies. For the price you expected it to look as good as KOR or TW? Really?

 

[Wreck]

I like it. looks cool. I've learned you should never EXPECT from Japanese steels ... just be happily surprised when u get something cool. They are a bit too expensive in general to just go about expecting it to have a slip.
