It looks lovely but I wouldn’t be happy with that scratches on the steel.

The glossy on mantalab steelbooks is so annoying because too fu***ing fragile.

My Logan Mantalab : Scratches.
Constantine Mantalab : Scratches.
The Prestige Mantalab : Scratches.
Dune II Mantalab : Scratches.
Inglourious Basterds Mantalab : Scratches.

Becoming a sealed collector is THE solution. No unwrapping, no scratches.

the one click box artwork should of been on a double lenti imo but it is what it is.

100%. Often feel that's the case with their OCs though... that always get the best art (possibly to tempt people into buying them)

Just got my OC, was expecting to only keep one of the slips but now I'm not so sure, it's a nice release. DL-B is the weakest cover for me but I like everything else.

The OC has prismatic effects on the glass shard edges and Doctor Manhatten.

After just receiving my OC (which is stunning btw), my favourite is definitely the FS, followed by LS-A, then LS-B. Can't believe how flat the characters look on the latter, but the steelbook and extras are

I've just received lenti B, and although it could've been a little better I'm still very happy with it

Just got my OC. God it's a beauty. Love it. Great slips and steel, too. Even the art cards and booklet are great this time around.

The only minor gripe I've got is the lack of depth on DLB, but then again it is really quite sharp in the foreground, so I'll take that over more depth and less clarity. The Blu-ray disc is the theatrical cut for anyone unaware, which I've never owned.

I didn’t realise the 4K is only the ultimate cut (when this was announced) and ended up watching it for the first time last week. I only ever watch the Directors cut and I’m not even sure if I’ve seen the standard theatrical but I wasn’t impressed with the ultimate. I didn’t like the Black Freighter story or animation and it made no sense to me. Wish it was the directors cut in 4K

Yeah, the 4K has always only been the Ultimate cut, from both WB and Paramount. I wish it was the DC. The black freighter segments really take me out of the film. It's annoying. I like it enough as an individual story, but not as part of Watchmen. I haven't seen the theatrical cut either, it's about 24mins shorter than the DC, but I guess it's nice to have for completeness.

got my one click recently. I def prefer both lenti's over the full slip now i've seen them in hand. really great release all round though.
