I concur. The final 20 minutes are drivel. Everything leading up to it is really good. I had the same sentiments about Snowpiercer and ended up getting the Italian steelbook for that. But truthfully, the sole reason I'm buying this is...well...you know.

The spines on metalpaks are terrible. They can catch on metalpak and damage it.

Those spines don't bother me in the least. Lined up together they look fantastic on my shelf. Also, as mentioned, they blow away steelbook in terms of crossover art as there's no clunky hinge, the art flows a lot more seamlessly.

Keep the Metal/Future/Steelpaks coming!

Yeah, I like these too, one of my favorite little sub sets. The art always seems a little brighter than most steelbooks, especially the cheap matte ones we get in the US all the time.

Since I was never able to get a SPR SB I'm happy with my metalpak. I remember going to WM trying to get that one set. Man that was a pain...

The title pushed to one side and not being centered on the spine drives me insane. Such an eyesore.

This bother me too...to the point that I would prefer that center the title regardless of the fact that it will have a split going through it.

I also hate how the distributor logo is lower than on steelbooks.

I will take an amaray case over a metalpak every time, even if the amaray is more expensive. That's how much I hate the spines of metalpaks. They do look better than steelbooks when opened all the way up, since the art is nearly seamless, unfortunately, that isn't how my steelbooks sit on my shelf.

Thank you

I'm glad that there are some that liked it then. I'm willing to check it out, I enjoy musicals and it looks like it has a lot of actors I like.
