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 Ł9.99 at the lowest.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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..
