Nice pics, Demon-thanks for taking the time to share them with us!

Not a problem DB, I am glad you like them

I received this today & love it, it is a very welcome addition to my slowly increasing collection:

Nice pictures, but very misleading. I really wish people wouldn't alter the pictures in editing programs. It gives others the impression they are better than they actually are. I like to see 'professional' photos as much as anyone else, but often the pictures taken in daylight on a table top give a better impression of how it looks in hand.

I suppose picture 5 is as close to a true likeness as it gets, as for editing the pictures all I did was photograph then in vivid mode & auto adjust them

Just realised there's no border! Been a while since I've seen a borderless Zavvi release

Edit: Are the colours really that vividly orange? Or has that been changed with the camera/editing?

nice pics. I might have to pick this up now.

LOL not quite sure how I missed the "shot in vivid mode" part of your post!

It's fine for people to contribute their pictures. If they have been altered they can mention it but I'm sure we will have enough pictures of the Steelbook from different members to get a true representation. I know a lot of times people like to over saturate the colours and it makes a nice photo rather than showing the true colours of the steelbook. The more pics the better I say, it helps people get a good feel of how it looks.

Arrived today and I love it.

Signed copy by Robin Hardy is tempting.

I'd be buying that any day over the steelbook!!!

 

[SimonLDT]

Yep. My amaray came just now and it's leagues above the steelbook in terms of value and finish. Comes with a slipbox (slides in from the side) which is full gloss finish and has gold debossed title, actor and directer names, even certain text on the back and spine is debossed gold. My pictures don't do it justice at all, shines so well in the flesh!

[hayemaker]

And that is the same price as the steelbook?

 

[SimonLDT]

And that is the same price as the steelbook?

It was 19.99 at Sainsburys Entertainment for weeks (not sure if it still is or not). Forget Amazon and their crazy price of near £30! I got mine for £16 due to staff discount, so I'm extremely happy.

 

[cooey]

It was also £18 on Amazon for a loooooooong time during the pre-order stage

Im going tonight to buy the 3 disc set for the signing and get my steelbook signed! I might be cheeky and see if I can get my wooden box dvd set signed as well

Sent from my Galaxy S4

 

[gitsurfer]

I'm really pleased with the three disc set. It's a thing of loveliness. Also, these side-loading slipboxes tend to fit reasonably well over a steelbook (certainly better than an o-ring slipcase) so I could well end up with the best of both worlds if the steel gets discounted enough.

Apologies for drifting

folks. But if you could post a pic of your signed edition Wyatt. I'd love to see how it looks.

Have fun Tonight!

Nice!...I cancelled the steelbook a while ago when I found out about the signed copies from Forbidden planet, I was just expecting a slipcover going by the pics but the slipbox looks great
