Seems like we share the same rule

Yup. Same here. But I also only stick with marvel releases and (now) Star Wars. If they happen to put out one of my favorite movies with great artwork, then I go for those as well. But that's it.

Am I missing the cover art somewhere? Has it been released? Or is it the same as the Zavvi/Best Buy release?

Yeah, you are missing the cover art because the cover art has not been announced yet.

This is WEA so it will have a unique cover art.

Thank you, ok.. I was thinking, "How is everyone so excited when its cover art hasn't been released yet?" I've seen a lot of WEA's steelbooks, and while they're mostly very good, they're not so superior as to warrant a blind buy. At least not from me.

Welcome to the world of Blufans !


Btw, the release will be out at least in August.

Want this, but all the Star Wars, Doctor Strange, and Forest Gump release may mean a pass on this.

Hopefully the artwork is out before the Zavvi release. That way I'll know which version to double dip with for 3D.

Just wait for it. This will be an instant classic for sure.

Zavvi steelbook artwork is identical in every way to Best Buy. However, Zavvi steelbook includes a 3D disc where Best Buy is 2D only.

As for THIS BluFans version? Their releases tend to have very different and original artwork compared to the rest of the world. Most people deem everything from BluFans as the unequivocal #1 best, no matter what. However, I disagree with that mentality and refuse to pigeon-hole myself into a commitment to ANY unrevealed artwork in case they fall short of previous releases in design. BluFans have not impressed me several times in the past.

Yeah I agree I like the idea that they are doing it. But can't say if it will be better or not. What I do like is that this will have a slipbox and extra goodies.

Yes, but the artwork could possibly be released, so I and others can make their purchasing decisions. And as Petra said, the difference is in the 3D disc.

I don't think we're very close to knowing when that'll be yet. But when it is happening, Kevin (Bluraysteel) will post the information about it here. However the actual group buy thread will be posted here...
