Diinasty

@LeGonze @deckard99 I am really sorry but it looks like I somehow accidentally submitted two separate requests for OC for this GB, could one of them be disregarded please.

sorry for the inconvenience.

No point worshipping the quality of WeET’s work and praising the steel if you don't even plan to open it and appreciate it. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Otherwise It may as well contain a scanovo. 

Or we can just let people enjoy their collection how they want. You can appreciate the artwork a steel has on it and never open it.

I am not fond of lentis for several reasons:

Main reason is that I find them to be nothing more than a gimmick that 95% of the time doesn't add anything to the package visually or thematically.

It may have been a cool novelty when it was first introduced but to me, it quickly bacame stale and bar a few exceptions, I've always opted for a regular fullslip.

Second reason is that a lot of times, the quality of the lenti is subpar, either due to blurred image, lack of depth, finishing, etc. They are also scratch magnets if not handled properly.

 

However, I do own a few lentis, although the reasons why I picked them over the fullslip are quite different:

 

Fight Club DL from Manta - it's the best lenticular I own and for my money the best DL ever produced. It's perfect, not only because of the choice of art and colors, but also because it perfectly represents the theme of the movie. It's the only DL that I've seen that could not have worked as well had it been a regular fullslip.

 

Blade Runner DL from Manta - easy choice for me over the other editions as it features the iconic Struzan artwork and the transition effect, as well as the matching color palette between front and back artwork, are very well executed. With that said, I would have preferred it as a regular fullslip, without question.

 

Jaws from HDZeta - between this one and FAC, I prefer the non lenti back artwork on the HDZ which conveys rather well the sense of isolation of the film's protagonists.

Colors are more vivid as well on this cool interpretation of the iconic movie poster.

 

Reservoir Dogs from Novamedia - simply put, I didn't like both fulllips so opted for this one which actually has a pretty cool transition effect.

 

So only 4 lentis in my (relatively modest) collection but each an integral part of it.

To call it a gimmick is quite reductive imo. As to it not adding anything to the package visually, I will personally straight up disagree with, but that's subjective anyways, so fair.

I will agree with the second reason as the ones done poorly can really just ruin the item completely.

I was not aware of them being "scratch magnets" which is a valid concern but for me any steel that comes out of the packaging is going straight into a protector and I am very careful when handling them so hopefully I never have to worry about having to experience this.

This was a well put together response though and I appreciate that. Also, I definitely agree on the fight club DL manta being the best out there.

I’ve been patiently waiting for either you or @Intentcoin to pull the trigger first so that I am not the Villain AGAIN. 😂

 

 

 

just for that you are still the villain

Basically the title, a lot of people I talk to in the steelbook community seem to despite lenticular steels.

Other that it sometimes making the art look unclear but that’s the fault of the company for doing a bad job with it, doesn’t make lentis bad.

Is there another reason that I seem to be missing?

I’d love this. Bums me out that their current ones are WWA. Would love a WEA set from them. Especially since it doesn’t look like Blufans is going to do them. 

For one of the best MCU movies (my opinion) the no way home WWA is very subpar and definitely deserves a WEA that does it justice

For which release? That made me just think how awesome a Iron Man 1-3 WeET OC would be, a la Raimi Spider-Man. That box would be that and each slip would have something to do with the individual movies. Maybe show case how the reactor changes between movies? Idk. 
 

ugh, I want WeET to do ever MCU movie. Haha

I hope they at least die the homecoming trilogy for the new spidey, since their last spidey trilogy turned out to be a grail

What about locking this thread until official news or even better, after that? I feel like there will be a massive GIF flood when the new system gets revealed. 🤣

All this stuff is very official

Tin?

Platinum is preferred. But would settle for Gold 😇

No way this can be worse than the artwork for the Best Buy/Zavvi one

NVM - gonna be the same
