Pre ordered via HMV due to Zavvi’s delivery times taking FOREVER. The lower price is an added bonus too!

Wrong master on the cover (pic shows master from the end of time,not the harold saxon master from series 3) not a mistake a proper doctor who fan would make

(don't know why they changed the artist from Lee binding who did the series 1 and 2 steelbooks,he would not have made that mistake

)

And The Doctor had his blue suit for most (if not all - I can't remember) of Series 3.

(That's just nitpicking though - the image of The Doctor is great)

GREAT cover BTW

He didn't wear it for all of it, just 5 episodes (and one of those was only briefly).

In any case, using the wrong image of the Master is just careless. He only appeared in two stories with Tennant, how can you get them mixed up?

I'm going to collect all DW steelbooks but I'm too not happy about this one. I just found this on Amazon and immediately thought it looked fake...It looks like fan art from someone who hasn't actually seen the season. I mean, how did this art get approved for production with the wrong Master?! It's lacking all texture in the artwork from previous releases and purple was almost never associated with season 3. Green would've been much more appropriate for S3 and purple for S4, like they were originally marketed.

The brown suit over blue doesn't bug me as much but the culmination of all nitpicky inaccuracies makes this release undesirable.

Oh very nice.

I love the back

Billz · 02-26-2018, 08:25 PM

If this line carries on, I hope it eventually results in a steelbook for The Day Of The Doctor.

Hi all, thanks for your feedback and pointing out your issues with the artwork. We will correct the artwork for the final release, which unfortunately means we will have to delay the release date. We'll let you know once the new date is confirmed! Thanks for being on point always

Wow. Just wow.

minister_x · 02-27-2018, 02:01 PM

At least it's a better response than "we find we really like the new artwork [despite it being wrong] so we're going to stick with it" I suppose!

My reply to them was "have you sacked the people who work in quality control?"

TheHutt · 02-27-2018, 02:13 PM

Mine was:
"Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked."

Looks like the changes to the steelbook have pushed the release date back to the 7th May.

Zoom is the only site showing a later release date. All other sites, including Amazon (where I ordered), still say March 26th release.

Zoom did have the March date as well but changed it in the past few days, confirmed on Facebook there will be a delay due to fixing the steelbook cover art.
