No Ra's al Ghul though ;( Seems he should have a spot too.

I think there is just a lack of promo art for Ra's al Ghul.

But I agree. I'd like to have Liam Neeson's face on the back side of the box instead of Batman.

A big pickup day today (econos and premiums alike).

 

Completed the Hitchcock 4K Best Buy set:

 

Added 10 more to my Disney collection (4 more to go to complete the set of 74 animated features with steelbook releases):

 

One more Tarantino FS for my Novamedia collection:

 

And a Filmarena FS for a movie I really enjoyed:

Those Hitchcock Steelbooks look awesome. I am so jealous you Americans have the title on the steelbook. Here in Europe I can only get the wierd looking titleless editons.

Hi guys, I made a video of the OC edition for some friends of my steelbook collectors discord (so its just for me and my friends) but if you ever want to see what it looks like go watch this, it's in French but the video is worth more than a thousand words 😉

 

Wow! Now I regret not choosing the OC. I really like the effect of the Single Lenti. Much better than the Lenticular Box I have from UHD Club.

Hub delivery ! 

I’ve been waiting for a premium of Apocalypse Now since I found out what premiums were….. I am not disappointed 😍 loving this edition ! Got a cool number too 👍
 

Beautiful. It's a masterpiece and man... what a steelbook!!!

About the waiting... I have the same problem with Silence of the Lambs. I hope this year for the 30th anniversary we finally get something

It might sound ridiculous in a community of blu ray collectors...but i have read on 3 different message boards now that a lot of people don't even like the film itself and want to get a OC edition or even already secured one...why don't you wanna save your money and leave the editions for those of us who actually love the film? 🤣🤣

Because triggering people like you is my source of happiness.

IIRC in the info thread it was stated that 2nd copies were not guaranteed.

So, I think I’ve almost figured out what everything is in the beauty shots. 
 

I don’t know what the image on the bottom right is for though. Does anyone know?

Is it a lenticular card similar to what came with the Inception release?

It's a poster.

Looks awesome.

And the front cover of the box changed for the better, too.

Should we post when we pay the invoice?

I don't think it's required. I've never done that before.

TDK and TDKR mockups look fantastic, but maybe back to the drawing board on Batman Begins? The images are perfect, but that transition to the art used for the gift set from years ago, is not. It also doesn’t match as well with the other two! This will be the definitive set, so we should expect nothing less than perfection!!😄

I really like the colors here but I also think that the transition to the cave around batman doesn't look great. I agree that the chosen images are perfect.

Interesting observations. Keep in mind that beauty shots are just mock ups though, not in-hand product. I’ve found most beauty shots of lenticulars especially tend to be different than the final product.

I know. Especially with UHD Club the image is always subject to change. I just wanted to draw attention to it, just in case.

This is the true perfectionist speaking (as I am one myself, I would not allow any criticism of such attention to detail, marked by a genuine passion for design).

On the other hand, in view of the recent product pictures (ehem...), I am already happy for every box that doesn't show sharks eating Russ Meyer-Style pinup girls... 

I wouldn't be pedantic about it if I didn't pay a few hundred dollars for this trilogy. If this is just a lenti card added extra, then i don't care. But it's the front image after all

For clarity:

I hope UHD fixes this.

Look at where batmans shadow was supposed to be. The mirror image starts above the floor and they forgot to add the horizontal frame in the mirror image.

Sneak Peak Beauty Shots. 

***Some Adjustments May Happen

There are Design mistakes in the transition where batmans shadow was edited out. Zoom in on the mirror image on the floor: the window frame is missing. Also, the mirror image already starts above the floor in the 2 smaller window panes.

I lovw to see they put the batman logo on the spine!

Have costs for second invoice doubled? Shipping for Inception seems to be as expensive as Gladiator and Interstellar combined.

Looks good. I hope they do the other WKW classics as well.

Is this the first Mlife 4k?

Just received my first price from the Euro 2020 challange: Prometheus Double Lenticular.

Well, this is a topic I have been thinking about lately.

Lots of People nowadays cannot eat a breakfast without watching youtube or checking their mails or social media. We cannot ride a bus or a train without listening to music. Humanity has been infected by electronics and media, faster than we can adapt. Our brain is wired to look for short term dopamine kicks. When we go to the movies, we cannot enjoy the images themselves anymore for what they are. We need information and progress, fast cuts and action. Movies are not just moving images any more, their scenes act as a stimulus. Movies that once were masterpieces are now considered boring. We resort to netflix shows and netflix movies that are created in a way that enable us to do other activities in the meantime while watching... like checking our phone every few minutes. For me it's youtube, reddit, mediapsychos, ebay, instagram, facebook, tiktok.

In the last 20 years we have ruined our attention span and the way movies are made today is just the reflection of this.

I cannot say that I am not affected by this digital age. On the contrary, I have a huge problem. I have a media addiction. I hate movies that I used to like. My phone screen is the first thing I see after I wake up and the last thing I see before I go to sleep. The last time I had the attention span to read a whole book was 11 years ago.

I think if I am able to detox from this media overflow in the next few weeks, I can lead a happier life again. And enjoy watching movies again.

Wish me luck, guys.

There's nothing premium about this release, but I just received my copy of the Australian edition of Zack Snyder's Justice League. I much prefer the cover image on this one over the one with the fists and weapons, it's just a shame it's a boring matte finish. For the price though, I'm happy with it (AU$39.99).

 

Looks awesome. I don't think steelbooks need special finishes all the time.

What I appreciate about UC is that they have the guts to not go the safer route but to use uncontional images. Of course some images will not do well like this one ( it's a risk after all) but you have to respect their commitment. Imagine they would use the standard artworks for Gladiator or The Prestige.

Of course every customer has the right to be disappointed about the choice this time. You will often see me criticize UC but I think that IN GENERAL it is a good thing that UC decides to spice it up and try to be different from other retailers. They often look for unique artworks and have new ideas, see their Wooden Boxes or Digipak hard boxes.

In the Euro 2020 Ronaldo shot 3 penalties and all went in. But there will come a day on which he will miss the penalty. But that doesn't mean he shouldn't have taken the penalty in the first place. If you know what I mean.
