Not a bad looking steel, not bad at all. If didn't already have the Entertainment Store steel from way back when or if this was 4K, would definitely be in for this one.

Glad they're doing a series for these. Some of the destination covers are cool.

What do you mean by destination covers?! Is there a list somewhere of possible steelbooks which might come to this series?

dallywhitty · 01-14-2021, 02:56 PM

WB Sci-fi Destination Series? Zavvi exclusive? Oh God, they're gonna do Blade Runner, aren't they? And I'm gonna be forced to give Zavvi my dollar?

You can see them here (not sure if it's a definitive list):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=%5BSpec...date-desc-rank

Ignore the obvious outlier here

Thanks for posting!

It's interesting that this is another Warner Bros series, 5 of the 8 Titans of Cult releases are listed here. I don't need to own two copies, not sure which i'd keep, some of this artwork is great.

Thank you, they look nice, but I already own the steels for the films I like already

These are nifty but the original UK Forbidden Planet steelbook is much more special than this one. Still one of my favorite steelbooks.

I agree! If it had a 4K disc, I might be interested in double-dipping. As it is, I’m happy with my original UK steelbook.

Steelheadz · 01-14-2021, 03:10 PM

Does this one have the same BR disc as the previous BR release?

Probably. Steelbooks are one of the biggest scams to come around in a while. Companies seeing how many times they can trick suckers into buying the same disc over and over again, just by changing the packaging. Sad really. Different of course, if one has yet to own the disc or it's being released for the first time. Usually not though. Seems to be plenty of suckers though, because it still keeps happening. I don't fall for it. I don't see the point of buying the same disc over and over and over and over and over again for packaging alone, when that money can be spent on something I DON'T have. To each their own though.

Same as the "Greatest Hits" CD by your favorite band. Same songs, different cover.

Maybe can buy this and put it inside my 50th Anniversary tin that I have signed by Leslie Nielsen!

mattyl149 · 01-14-2021, 07:15 PM

Excited for Perry Mason

SpeakerToAnimals · 01-15-2021, 01:47 PM

It’s a design more suited to the older films but I’m looking forward to a Steelbook for THX 1138 and Logan’s Run.

Also, why don’t they just change the name of Edge of Tomorrow to Live, Die, Repeat and have done with it? Edge of Tomorrow is a crappy generic title.

gkolb · 01-15-2021, 03:02 PM

Ooooo, I’d buy all of these... as Posters! What a glorious idea by someone to make this art. They look so nice.

I already have most of them on hd or uhd. I’m out of space, not gonna triple dip to downgrade.

Spud_Almighty · 01-15-2021, 03:04 PM

Are these updated prints or just pointless re-packaged discs?

mjk-94 · 01-16-2021, 08:21 AM

Wow these look great love them all
