These are their first, at least in a long while...
I finally got sick of second guessing myself and just pulled the trigger, if it's bog standard quality this will all work out on the expensive side.

I do hope it's good though, much prefer their art choice for Ace Ventura than Shout's (although that maybe doesn't deserve 100% of the hate it got and the price is right) so I'll take a gamble. If they turn out bad though it's another bad sign for the Halloween set.

Definitely, agree about the Ace Ventura Steelbook art design (that artwork is far superior over Shout's AI looking trash) they used on the front and rear. I did end up picking it up 2 days ago for finding it for $23 brand new on Ebay and wanted to see the film in 4K.
It was a bummer like Crocodile Dundee both their 4K were censored due to modern audiences and finding the interview for Snowflake to be too offensive.

They censored Ace Ventura? Gee whiz I'm sure glad the world's in such a good place that a mild comedy needs to be censored.

How is the finish on it?
the cardboard of the shipping box is quite sturdy with a nicely placed "imprint" logo printed on it. they used quite a nice transparent adhesive tape as opposed to the ugly brown many other retailers use.. however, they could have used a tape with their logo printed on it.. still, its the crown jewel of @tha_lunatic s collection and he proudly displays the shipping box in an acrylic protector as a centerpiece in his living room

Nice. I couldn't afford any fancy stickers or freebies on my Steelbook distributor orders but we didn't even hit 25% sales of our 2 new releases so maybe films was the way to go, huh?
