Aliens (Zavvi Exclusive) (Blu-ray Steelbook) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

UK - Aliens
Gloss finish

This is what Fox do for a gloss finish. Its not super glossy like aladdin and Jack Reacher. Fox dont do that. Fox do a single coated gloss sheen.

There is blue metallic shine around ALIENS when you apply the correct angle of light. Also the rear art has metallic shine through.

This is a classy steelbook. Very nice. I've taken extra close up photos to show its a gloss finish and the metallic shine.

I'll bite when it hits the 4.99 bin.

Such a shame for my favorite film of the series!

Hmm Im not sure it will which is why Ive ordered it. There will be a lot of people buying Alien and they will want Aliens to go with it. I cant see it going that cheap, maybe £9.99 at the lowest.

It's probably not worth me getting this as I've already got the Anthology steelbook all 4 films.

I love that steelie and wish I could have gotten it when it was reasonably priced.

BlueAngel7 · 02-09-2014, 03:45 PM

The prices on ebay are ridiculous already for this and it hasn't even sold out on zavvi yet. Unsuspecting buyers on Ebay are going to be flambéed.

bumblebaytuna · 02-20-2014, 11:06 AM

I do like this steel nice and shiny well my copy is and also because I missed out on the play set

JimDiGriz · 02-24-2014, 01:06 PM

This steel (yet again) looks better up close compared to on a screen. Its not amazing but Im glad I got it and Im very pleased with it.

Whirlygig · 03-04-2014, 06:14 PM

So has anybody in the US received this yet? Mine shipped like a month ago and still nothing.

I got mine about a week ago. Ordered it along with Robocop and Rocky.
Still waiting on Rocky.

Red Dolittle · 03-07-2014, 09:44 PM

Mine showed up today, in perfect shape thank you! It took 12 days which is a few days longer than usual. My stuff usually takes 7-10 days. Not a big deal tho.
As long as they arrive safe and sound I can wait a little longer.

Whirlygig · 03-07-2014, 09:52 PM

They sent me out another since it's been longer than 30 days, so fingers remain crossed. DO WANT.

Kellllsey · 03-08-2014, 02:27 AM

I see on the cardboard slip thing that it says region ABC. Has anyone tested it on a region A player? I only ask because here on the forum it lists it as region B with A and C untested.

Red Dolittle · 03-08-2014, 12:23 PM

Just tried this out on multi region player set to A and it played.

I have quite a few US discs stating ABC on the back when they´re really Region A locked... afaik at least one of the Breaking Bad seasons is among those..

I said the same then I bought Alien and Aliens anyway. This is worse than a cigarette habit.

If thats the case then studios are lying to their consumers

yupp... or making a mistake now and then
it´s not THAT uncommon tho... so if you need to be absolutely sure before buying it´s always smart to ask peeps to check the actual disc..
