THAT'S why l'm getting it( too put the trilogy inside ) and thank you Best Buy, you're saving me $10 from the U.K. import.

BB can't help how well a movie does in the theater *shrugs*

A december 18 release, at $29.99. This movie is going to stick around for a while.

My comment refers to the artwork and design of the Steelbooks - they have been mostly bad this year

Steelheadz · 10-31-2018, 02:31 PM

I think they don't care anymore about making unique designs for steelbooks. They have created enough of a market where collectors would buy practically anything steelbooks (for the most part) and could care less about the arts (for the most part). So now they can focus on just releasing steelbooks and not having to pay more $$ to make them elaborate (embossed/debossed etc) and steelbook lovers would still buy them.

Steelbooks used to be unique in that they had details apart from just being metal boxes that appealed to collectors. This is rarely the case anymore.

Even the slipcovers have embossed designs now for about on average $5 less than a steelbook. As long as there is a big demand for steelbooks, they will keep pumping them out without feeling the need to do something drastic to attract buyers.

What a boring steelbook.

If you say so... The Avengers is one of the most beautiful ones I own and I've been collecting BB steels since 2011.

For quite some time now, I've been of the opinion, if I'm going to buy a film in SteelBook, I'll go the few extra steps to track it down from a premium source.
Most (not all) Steels from Amazon, BB and even to an extant Zavvi, have been rather 'meh' and I'm satisfied with an amaray or even Digibook (not pack, book).
Fortunately, the premium retailers as of late have been putting out the films I wish to buy, hope that continues.
I'm not one to buy a film "because" it has a Steel.

Yeah, i couldn't agree more. Most steelbooks have been lazy and phoned in for over a year it seems.

Disappointed they dropped the stellar orange artwork. My roomie told me to cancel his, and I accidentally canceled mine in the process. Oh well...

rickah88 · 12-11-2018, 05:32 PM

I like it. Looking forward to finally watching this.

InBruges · 12-11-2018, 05:35 PM

looks better than pictures on the sites for it. ISPU next week.

DB1975 · 12-11-2018, 07:10 PM

LOL. From the smaller artwork posted on this thread I didn’t make out that the Predator head was made out of skulls and spines.

mgdking · 12-13-2018, 11:51 AM

My copy of this shipped yesterday as well.

Thanks. Could you brighten the pics though? They look so dark I can hardly see anything.

Is it just me?

Sorry, the flash on my camera sucks. If I turn the flash off, the pics look blurry. I definitely need to look into getting a better camera.
