Damn I kinda wish I got those SC Steelbooks now. Or kept my PoD one at least.

Hellboy · 08-02-2021, 11:35 PM

I think I may actually prefer this to the Best Buy steel. Would match the EFNY I already have.

I think I have a factory sealed second PoD steelbook in a box somewhere. I haven’t looked at it in a while but I’m pretty sure there is one corner dent but looks otherwise clean. I can find it and send you pics if you want to replace your copy. I’d only want my cost plus shipping. I’d have to check but I think I paid a tad over $20 for it.

I appreciate that but now seeing that have a box styled like the other SC 4 disc sets I'm getting that. I have all of those and it will fit very nicely with them.

I am getting more of an Escape from New York vibe from this.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that artwork. Either way I ordered the steelbook and the collectors edition.

GenPion · 08-02-2021, 11:49 PM

Oh wow! Vastly prefer this artwork to the U.S. 4K steelbook and it’ll match the other 4 Studio Canal 4K steelbooks of John Carpenter classics that I have.

MifuneFan · 08-03-2021, 12:27 AM

looks pretty boring

It’s rare that I don’t opt for the Steelbook version when available and in the case of this film there are two solid offerings. That said the Collectors Edition beats them all IMO so that’s the direction I’m going.

Fat Phil · 08-03-2021, 08:57 AM

Quite like the back, but the front is all kinds of wrong.

Mean Gene · 08-03-2021, 10:18 AM

Thanks OP, picked this up and the Matt Ferguson Art Collector's Edition.

What is this Collector's Edition everyone is talking about? I assume it is 4K? It is identified as a "special edition", but is it this:

Another awful steelbook in this year of awful steelbooks!

UnionJackMix · 08-03-2021, 04:56 PM

I like it, but I don't know I like this movie enough to spend so much on it.
