Thanks for the pics ncraft. Just confirmed that the previous Steelbook is WAY better and I don't need to go near the new one. But I hope those who want it are able to get a copy.

Looks incredible.

StarkRomanoff · 12-02-2018, 02:22 AM

Oh no, I'm a sucker for spot-finishes and am really tempted to get it...I just don't need to spend more money right now...

maverick22 · 12-02-2018, 03:09 AM

This will be my 4th copy of Lion King (DVD, original Zavvi SB, Target digibook).

I wish I would have kept my diamond blu-ray, but I sold it to make up for buying the Zavvi and digi.

I can't decide if this beats the black signature BB steel or not, but looks good enough to me. I doubt I'll see the difference between the 4k disc and BD though.

interesting to see how much peoples artistic opinions differ on here. ofcourse youll always find someone who loves/hates it but its always interesting when you think something looks amazing but other people don't like it at all. like i own the original signature steel for this and i think the new one is 10x better hands down first is BERRY boring for me. but a lot of the comments lean towards the first being better. Like the mondo X mermaid i think it's one of the best steelbooks/artstyles I've personally seen. Then you see people who hate it and you're like are they looking at the same thing i am?

not looking for an argument, just saying the variance in opinion and responses to steelbook never gets old to read through

InuYashaCrusade · 12-02-2018, 09:39 PM

This looks a lot better in the unboxing video. If the front image were different then I'd buy this on day 1.

Darth Marcus · 12-03-2018, 01:15 PM

Oh yeah, I'll be there tomorrow when the doors open to pick this beauty up.

Oarsman05 · 12-04-2018, 02:10 PM

Anybody else's copy have a series of vertical scratches on the spine? Seems like every copy at my store has them. Looks like they're there in the pictures posted on the last page, too.

Really? He notices it in the unboxing video after taking off the shrinkwrap. Wonder how many it really affected

Went to my store today within 10 minutes of opening found 3 copies on the shelf all vertically scratched horribly like around 10 scratches on the top 2 inches of the spine and all with at least 1 decent size going into the title.

Gonna risk ordering it online through shipment but online says not until early January. Still I'm gonna try it hopefully the January ones will be a different batch that are not scratched

Were they different scratches? It's clearly not a design thing then?

I thumbed through the 6 copies my store had and found only 1 that didn't have those scratches. It's now mine.

What if it's the only one

At least we know that it's not a design thing

maverick22 · 12-04-2018, 02:44 PM

Wreck it Ralph all over again it sounds like! Crap.

I went through about 7 of those and still ended up with one with damage.

rickah88 · 12-04-2018, 02:51 PM

Wait, I thought everyone didn’t like this artwork?

This thing is beeeeyoutifulll!! Looks even better in hand. I’d love to see more Disney animated classics using this “sketch design”.
Thankfully my copy arrived damage free.

Oarsman05 · 12-04-2018, 03:14 PM

Third store finally had some without the scratches! If you have multiple stores around you, keep checking.
