IT'S NOT EVEN GLOSSY!

$38 USD for a shabby release!

NO GLOSS
NO BONUS DISC
NO REAR/INTERIOR ARTWORK
OVERPRICED

I should of listened to the wife this timeBut I wanted my 6year old to have this movie in a badass high gloss steelbook instead she gets matte and to top it of for the price no 3d

Blame steelbook for the no gloss, thats Scanavo, not Zavvi.

Believe Wreck has brought up why matte only for the last few steels in another spot.

Is your daughter that pissed off that the steelbook isn't glossy ?

I like the back, I even like it a lot. There, I said it.

The inside art, however, could have been a bit more developed that that. I get the idea of wanting us to see how big the ocean is, but really what it came down to was probably "meh, let's save some time."

Though when you think about it, when the disc is inside the steelbook (99.5% of the time then), it doesn't look that empty, and it's also quite rare when the inside art is consistent with the front and back.

Overall, I wouldn't say I'm amazed by the result, but I find it to be coherent and quite nice.

If it were a multi-disc movie, I would honestly have no problem with the inside art. Especially if it were at least 3 discs and covered both sides.
Actually, I was very unhappy with the Tron Legacy steel as it was 3 discs and had great inside art that was consistently covered.
I ended up getting rid of the digital copy/DVD or whatever it was and converting it to a 2 disc set giving a nice view of the art inside.

This interior just seems like a huge waste of potential real estate!

I opened mine and looked at the back and inside. The first thought that came to mind is how can they possibly charge £22.99 for a steel with virtually no art on it? Thank God I used a discount code on this and JB as both are really lazy. The front looks great, but there's nothing premium about the rest of it.

 

[Drew]

Lol my daughter wont care what type it is as long as she has it. I'm disappointed now will double dip for 3d

 

[Flloydo]

To be honest I really like the front. In hand it looks really good and I don't mind the bubbles on the back but the inside work!!!!! What the hell disney! The rest of the collection have to wow me now

 

[SaberTooth]

u guyz should go back and re-read this thread from about halfway

 

[Doctor]

Haven't got mine yet

Royal Mail must need more time to throw it around the depot a bit and stamp on it several times before giving it to a postie to ram through my letter box as violently as possible!

I blame scanavo for making their products so fragile

Mine's just arrived (along with Tron). And in mint condition too - phew!

The light in the top right corner looks grey/silver, although you can get it to reflect in the light, overall, it's very lackluster for the price.

 

[A Space Odyssey]

Got mine this morning, looks ok but nothing to be excited about. A little disappointed as it's not cheap.

Today's Disney/Touchstone Haul.

Not overly impressed with these, to be honest. I've taken some light intensity photographs to try and show that the horrible Warner UK Premium Collection Range finish (remember the one where you apply light and the image disappears) has resurfaced.

 

[Peenuts]

Got mine 2day. I like it but was more concerned about the terrible packaging really. I thought zavvi had sorted this out. They charge so much for a steelbook you'd think some if tht price would reflect in better packaging.

 

[Numanoid]

Mine arrived today. Front cover is lovely, back cover is bland and inside well what can you say???????????? and then call it the diamond edition tut tut tut. Will keep an eye out in future perhaps for a nice 3 disc Asian version etc etc if it comes along.

I find i am looking more and more to foreign version of steelbooks, looks like here in The UK we have volume and not quality, gonna be more picky in future i think.

 

[Shingle]

The front cover does have a nice sense of depth to it (kind of have to see it in person to appreciate it). However, as many have already mentioned here, given the price, this really should have been so much more.

 

[DrH]

Mine arrived today
It has what look like paint missing in 3 places.
I have contacted Zavvi about a replacement
We shall see what happens now

 

[gwyper]

This is a brilliant design. Obviously some won't like it and others will. I'm glad they aren't just reproducing the WFRR on every steelbook like they done with Aladdin and Jungle Book. This is a cracker too in it's own right.
