Green Hornet German reprint. I knew how the Future Shop version looked and didn't realize the German one wasn't embossed. Picked it up one day when it dropped in price. Very disappointed the day that arrived. No embossing, flat finish. Ugh...

None, really. If I think the cover art isn't attractive then I won't pick it up. Which sucks sometimes, because there are some titles I would have gotten but they looked bland. Like, Memento or From Dusk Til Dawn (Both Alliance).

They really could have done some exciting images for them.

I bought green zone UK steelbook from eBay, when it came just didn't like all the text on the front, glad on paid £4 for it with free delivery. Just when I look at it I think, 'this is my ugliest Steel'

Got a couple I don't really like the look of

The Raid (GER)
Silence of the Lambs

Had some others I didn't really like (including 3 Toy Story ones) but I sold them.

Transformers 1 (German First Print)

It doesn't really "fit" with my Canadian TF2 or my German TF3 steelbooks. The Play.com version of TF1 fits better with TF2 and TF3, and I'm quite happy with it, especially since I've put both discs in it now.

Just need to recycle my German TF1 first print steelbook now.

Hunger Games uk has a rough finish, like a badly done matte, no inside art, small artwork, just generally feels like a lesser version of the future shop mocking bird edition.

Star Wars IV-VI too dark, artwork is shoddy. gloss on the outer edges only, why?

^ I think I would have regretted SotL, weird placement (black void at the bottom) and repeated art...got the trilogy set instead.

I sort of dont like the Scott Pilgrim one from Zavvi, it has a really ugly spine. The letters are so small, you can barely tell what movie it is. I do like the cover and inside artwork though

I was somewhat disappointed in the background color of the 7 Psychopaths German release. It looks more yellow in the pictures, but in person it's very green. Could be just me though.

Amazing Spider-Man, but only because I don't like that image on the cover...I wished it was any of the other promo images for that movie, but the close-up of him its just weird...
