I opened mine but haven't used it. I will probably see if I can work it into a trade or something down the road.

You guys might as well throw these away or use them because no one wants these after the FS one came out. This steel makes the BB steel look like junk, I am glad I sold all 11 that I had for about $17 a piece.

Future Shop totally killed the buzz for the BB LOTR steelbook when they release their steel later on the road.

Future Shop steelbook is printed, ebossed and got some kind of cracked finish.

BestBuy steelbook is a plain black stickerbook.

I wouldn't call the BB one junk, but the FS one does look better. If you like jumbo's then the FS one is the way to go. I have 3 BB jumbo's, and I am going to slim them down and add custom artwork for each film inside of them. I'm still debating if I should leave the outside alone (besides changing the spines to have each movie listed on them), or if I'm going to change them up a bit.

My version has this as well and like many stated, the BB Stickerbook is very crappy compared to the FS one. Although I am still not a big fan of the Jumbo's, but that's a different story....

They sell for between Ģ15 - Ģ30 on ebay in the UK

I just sold my UK trilogy set & sealed BB Steelbook. But I kept the UK cardboard slipcover as the FS Steelbook fit's in there perfectly with a tiny gap either side and will prevent any scratches
