But this terminator steel is still shite
On top of my head, I can name a few steels that have either better or about as good non-premium versions as their premium versions.
- Aquaman (WWA, this one to be specific: Aquaman 3D Blu-ray Release Date April 29, 2019). Not necessarily better than the premium ones, but definitely not worse either.
- Black Panther (WWA edition, e.g. the Blufans one is just the film poster, which is way too busy and uninteresting. The WWA version gets a lot of hate, but I like it just fine.)
- Blade Runner 2049 (Blade Runner 2049 Blu-ray Release Date November 5, 2018. Cost only 25€ and came with a really nice booklet + art cards + steel itself is really nice, again not necessarily better but definitely not worse than any of the premium ones)
- Deadpool (the original WWA version, this one Deadpool Blu-ray Release Date June 27, 2016)
- Doctor Strange (both the Zavvi ones)
- Iron Man 1 & 2 (Play exclusives, even the Zavvi lentis are about as good as any premiums)
- Jurassic World (WWA first edition, Jurassic World Blu-ray Release Date October 26, 2015)
- Logan (WWA, Logan Blu-ray Release Date July 17, 2017)
- Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition
- Mission Impossible: Fallout (WWA)
- Pacific Rim (Pacific Rim 3D Blu-ray Release Date November 11, 2013)
- The Revenant (WWA)
- RoboCop (RoboCop Blu-ray Release Date February 17, 2014)
- Spider-Man: Homecoming (WWA, Spider-Man: Homecoming 4K + 3D Blu-ray Release Date November 20, 2017)
- Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (WWA, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 4K Blu-ray Release Date April 22, 2019)
- Suicide Squad (WWA, Suicide Squad Blu-ray Release Date December 5, 2016)
- Star Trek: Beyond (WWA, Star Trek Beyond 3D Blu-ray Release Date November 21, 2016)
- Thor (HMV exclusive)
- Thor: Ragnarok (WWA, Thor: Ragnarok 3D Blu-ray Release Date February 26, 2018)
- Venom (WWA, Venom Blu-ray Release Date February 18, 2019)
- Wonder Woman (WWA, Wonder Woman 3D Blu-ray Release Date October 9, 2017)
And I know that you get some overpriced/useless swag with the premiums, but I don't give a rat's ass about them. Slipcovers are pointless to me; when I buy a steelbook, I buy it to get the steelbook case to be displayed, not hidden behind a cardboard sleeve. Art cards are nice I guess, but not worth the extra price. I've gotten some art cards with some steels or CE/LE editions and yeah, they're nice to look at, but I don't think I've ever given them a second look after the initial unboxing of the steel/CE/LE. They're a nice bonus, but not something I'd pay extra for.
If you really think that the premium editions are THAT much better than the WWA or some of the non-premium WEA editions, for example the ones I listed, then whoop dee f'n doo.
Yup, it's pretty shite, but I'd rather have it than the regular amaray version, especially since it isn't that expensive. The interior and the back are nice though, but the front is pretty bad.But this terminator steel is still shite

Some of them, yeah, but many of them have either a really good or solid finish. For example, from the ones I listed, quite many of them have either a really good glossy finish with no embossing/debossing (e.g. Aquaman, Jurassic World, RoboCop, Thor: Ragnarok) or a really good glossy finish with great embossing (e.g. Deadpool, Iron Man 1 & 2, Mad Max Black & Chrome, Thor). Some of the matte finishes were a bit of a let down for sure (e.g. The Revenant and Venom could be better), but quite many of the matte finishes I listed are really solid imo. For example, Logan, Pacific Rim, both Spider-Man steels, Suicide Squad are really nice despite the matte finish and some of the matte finish ones have really nice embossing, like Doctor Strange and Wonder Woman. I especially like the UK's Star Trek Beyond steel (very nice embossing + artwork + colors), though that one would probably be better with gloss finish.I don't disagree with some of your examples but I feel sure you'll admit that many a splendid design WWA is let down by its finish.
