This print by Craig Drake would have been nice…

Now that...that I would 100% buy!

Is this going to only be sold online? I still haven't been given the option of in store pickup during checkout...

I never owned the original release of the steelbook, so i'm more than happy with getting it with the 4K UHD.

GasmaskAvenger · 07-04-2017, 01:03 PM

Sorry to double post but...holy crap, Best Buy just shipped my 4K steelbook!

Honestly, I like the steelbook.

Glad I held off for this version, as the initial steelbook had the old blu-ray release.

yea see that has me a bit curious.. ofc the 4k disc will be better quality, but will the bluray just be the same old print as first steelbook.

Zero_Cool · 07-05-2017, 06:37 PM

Really wish they went with different artwork.

ConDers · 07-05-2017, 07:09 PM

Really disappointed in this release, already own this steelbook so I'll pass and pick up a 4k disc down the road

cbb223 · 07-06-2017, 03:27 AM

Same here. Already have the regular blu-ray Popart steelbook so I guess I'll pick up the standard 4K and throw it in the one I already own. Pretty disappointed they went the lazy route on this one.

willo007 · 07-06-2017, 04:31 AM

This could get even worse, it could have only 1 hub for both discs!

The blu-ray would have to be the mastered in 4k cinema series disk. The previous remastered blu-ray only had a pop up trivia track as its special feature. The steelbook lists more than that.

gkolb · 07-06-2017, 05:25 AM

Ummmm,

No Dolby Vision markings?

danny24 · 07-06-2017, 02:55 PM

Thought why that cover is just dumb for Best Buy to use. It will create confusion for people buying it used like ebay, Amazon. I could see someone thinking it's the 4K Best Buy steelbook only to get the old pop art single disc edition. Going with the 3 floating heads cover would have been a better idea. The reality is Best Buy probably just used the existing stock and turned them into 4K steels, cheaper to produce probably and it's a catalog title. Any word yet if the discs are stacked?

STEELBOOK COLLECTOR'S TIP #36:

Well so far the spine differs from the previous release,
the earlier steelbook has the Blu-ray logo on top of the spine,
this one does not have it at all.

Allgood · 07-06-2017, 09:36 PM

So that's what they did with the excess pop art steelbooks.
