I thought this was postponed for a later date... I think I just got confused... 

 

Anyways... We need to be patient for every single GB... Orders will come... 

Oh no, my dear Moderator... Your memory has not deceived You at all !

In fact jimmy's news is simply stunning - as Novamedia sent out shipping one day BEFORE the official release date they noted on their Facebook-Account (wich is the 26nd of February)

Invoice paid with a trembling click of excitement ... can't wait to hold this edition in my hands (even though release is still ahead, as @LeGonze has wisely mentioned 😇)

In any case, I hope that all collectors will soon be able to hold this treasure in their hands and notice with satisfaction:

And the winner is: C (what???)

Explanation:

Although the B variant seems to attemps a lyrical interpretation that tries to mirror some aspects of the movie, the implementation seems rather weak in my opinion - here I personally would have liked to see the Italian film poster variant (but only with regard to the motif, not the font position used there).

Nevertheless, it is understandable that UHD Club prefers a more colorful front to better bring out the effect of their 4-color print (the Italian Poster art is nearly monochromatic...)

Among the options available to choose from, however, I clearly agree with the A-votes.

Regarding the understandable objections of some commentators, who would prefer a color matching of the spine to the color design of the front /back (because there is a really rough break especially separating  front and spine - which differs from the harmonious overall appearance of the previous wooden box concepts), it can be taken into consideration,  that (for example) an "all around" motif  - like the house-shillouette which continues over the spine as in variant B - would  likewise mean a break with the traditional UHD-Club's wooden Box Design-Concept - namely the  clear plain look that UHD club had always chosen so far when designing the sides of their wooden boxes.

Which of these design breaks brings the greater sacrilege lies of course (as always with questions of personal taste) in the eye of the beholder...
