Maybe I just like being different?

Same old boring steelbook?? Dude

Full Slip appears to be the most unique. Everything else is a re-hash of existing artwork. Wonder what kind of treatment the slip will have. Would love to see some in-hand pics before pre-orders happen

I like the lenticular fullslip.

It's not? I never opened it since it wasn't worth keeping at the ridiculous Ebay prices but from I can tell in pictures it's the same steelbook zavvi, germany, etc had?

Yay! She's got legs! (and a nice toosh

I'm in for the Lenti and the PET FS.

Hallway shot for me even though its the same shot from the vinyl which I have displayed.

It is the same as other countries, but you're the first person I've heard call it boring.

Ah. Well, I might feel differently if I hadn't seen a million of them. I think I have one, and the Mondo which I like the best. Some day I'll get back to working on my collection thingie here...

The Mondo is a good release and it nice to see that Manta didn't use it anywhere so it's still WEA art

I see that on HDN now... Hmmm and the others have spot holofoil. I did like how Incredibles from Kimchi just had the Title holofoiled. Might have to look into the other 2 options now if I decide to get it.

Well, now Aniv over at HDN is saying that Manta may decide to go with spot holofoil. They're gonna evaluate a sample printing of the full holofoil and make their decision based on how it looks.

Shadowscythe85 · 06-19-2018, 10:46 PM

Checked Manta's facbook post and just about every reply is agreement about spot foil over full holofoil so hopefully will listen and change it up before pre-order date. Leaning towards the Full Slip but if stays full holofoil, will probably go with the Lentciular Slip. No 4K doesn't bother me since already have the 4K disc (along with the previously released white steelbook).

ncraft · 06-20-2018, 12:38 AM

I'm getting the Full Slip. I wish there was a 4K version but that slip is too nice to pass up.

I must be the only one that likes holographic packaging!

No, you are not the only one.
Also in any case it's different. Different steelbook etc.
I like things that are different.
I like this release.

That's exactly why I really do not understand why the film arena release is considered to be so great. As other posters already said - the same same same steelbook. The slip is okay, but that's just a slip. For such premium steelbooks I think that they should always be world-exclusive, otherwise you are paying premium for some slip and some booklet and some photo cards and that's it. I don't see a point in that, sorry (unless it wouldn't be premium priced, but just regular priced).

Movie is well made, have to turn off my tech-brain watching it, but I enjoyed it this way.
