Why are you paying customs fees? In the long run the sum comes quite a lot

Could be from IF customs open the box . Read a few times to other members that orded direct on other relises .

They don't even open the box. I think kimchi is on some kind of blacklist. Some were send as 20$ gift others as 25,99$ merchandise. They stopped all of them. Waiting for my terminator and fantastic four, if I have to pay for those aswell I'll consider buying future editions via GB or even from the bay.
Paid about 150€ for customs since the whiplash release.

Average Lenticular. Full Slip looks good though.

its pretty amazing how much my taste differs from so many of my fellow steelbookers. to me, appealing and relevant artwork is more important than WEA. When I look at that steelbook, I just don't see this movie. I see a space exploration documentary about how the universe is 13 billion years old or something.

Completely agree. Don't care if the steelbook is super glossy or if the artwork is unique. IMO the artwork is uniquely bad and does not do justice to this fantastic movie ( nice slip notwithstanding)

 

[lgans316]

I think the front artwork is relevant but the back is bad. The Lenticular is very poor as well.

I think the steelbook represents the movie very well. Because if I recall the movie correctly, the front of the steel represents the 4 elements like how they were first introduced in the movie. So definitely makes sense to me. Plus, the name of the movie is "The Fifth Element", so LeeLoo on the full slip is totally a plus since she is the fifth element.
And I thought the lenti was very nice too! Defitnitely the best steelbook packaging I have got so far this year (that being said, I got most of the premium releases and this one still stands out the most)

Well said buddy All 3 packages are awesome (and the lenti is great)

I'm guessing you were too late to get one?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . It's got my gaze big time this and my Nova Dredd .

Both stand out editions on the Lenti frount .

As for the Full slips of the One click all 3 together livin like a Hippo in a pool of drool flower .

I can not decide between # 1 and # 2. Definitely I will replace the Steelbook against the UK version

@jimmy honestly bro I don't even car to open mine, not bothered to see the steel, as I already have the Zavvi Steel plus US slip 4K remaster. BUT the Leeloo is a Grail. I'd snap it up now if u havent already

 

[jimmyv]

sorry bubbs i dont like it. i like the lenti only. leeloo's face on full slip looks like a horror film. can't look at it and like it.

Milla should've been on the steelbook cover. A no brainer. Look at how much she's dominating the slips because of her being on it. To simply put, if she would have been excluded from any of the covers, this release would have been a complete disaster! That is how much she is just all over this movie and that is why as I have stated before, the slips from this release is going over the Zavvi Steelbook in my collection.
All of these releases with just symbols and patterns on the cover have got to go. It maybe relevant to the movie BUT it is the actors and characters that make the movie. When you watch the academy awards this weekend, they will be rewarding the actors and actresses NOT any of the symbols that might have been represented in any one movie. When I see that pattern for this cover, It certainly doesn't get me all pumped up but if it would've been Milla, then we're talking about a whole new different ball game.

You want to throw away your Captain America with the shield as the cover? I will take off your hands for $50.
