I don't really understand that "special" box. The front is blank with a lenticular magnet on it?

I'll most likely get the regular FS since I've always liked that specific cover art.
I'm not the type of person to get the deluxe box set with these types of releases, even though the SB uses that incredible IMAX poster art.

Is the special box similar in size to the FS and is the opening on the top or the side of the box?

This is the special box:




Bigger than regular slips... Dimensions are 14.1 x 17.4 x 3.6 (W x L x H) but may change as this is Manta's first time doing this and may need to be adjusted.

Does Manta charge immediately when you pre order? or only when your order ships?

What are the dimensions of a regular full slip? Is it just taller or wider than regular slips?

I think they dropped the ball as the IMAX art would have been great art to be on the actual box or on the full slip. not as a lenticular.

I like both full slips, but I can't overlook the poor SteelBook. It's too bad they didn't use the artwork from the front of one of the slips on the SteelBook.

They charge when you place the order, much like the rest of the premium steelbook companies.

Not sure about Canada, but to the USA...

1 steelbook e-express runs around $10 USD
2 steelbooks e-express runs around $17 USD
3 steelbooks e-express runs around $26 USD (like Walter Mitty 1 click)
4 steelbooks e-express runs around $33 USD (like Kingsman 1 click)

Speedpost is about 2x the e-express price

The artwork on the box edition, while it is a painted poster originally, is a lenticular magnet that attaches to the box. There will most likely be a thin metal plate or something in the opening flap that the magnet attaches to so that it stays attached.

Otherwise, if it only stayed attached while it was closed due to the steelbook being directly underneath, then I would image it would fall off if opened and would be of poor design and don't see Manta doing that.
