Hmmmmmm . . . not sure. More eyebrow?

@Boilersteel gives a great overview of this release above. But I want to add my pics and give a few more thoughts. I'm not hating on this design as much as others. Could it be better, yeah, of course, but I'm okay with finishing out the title sequence themed art series with Blu-Ray only. Like others, I'm hoping for a new series with new art and 4K now that MGM seems to be winding up these BR steels. One of my disappointments in this steelbook hobby so far has been the low quality of the images/printing on the included postcards or character cards. Sometimes the image source and/or printing is so bad, it doesn't matter what art/design they use. This release is not that. It's not all perfect, but the included booklet and the postcards are much better quality than others I've seen. Also, I love the fact that there are behind the scenes photos and the booklet isn't simply a bunch of random 1080 screen grabs from the movie (talking to you multi-retailer Dark Knight trilogy). The back and inside art of the steels in this Bond series is basically non-existent, as @Fortis93 noted above, so no need to address here. The foldable Dragon Tank is a great idea, but Zavvi admits on their release page that the instructions are missing. So, hope you have a 6 year old to figure it out. I didn't shoot these photos in the studio, they are just iPhone photos, which has limited gamma and adds some contrast. But for those of you in to the goodies, like I am, here you go. Oh, and the spine matches all the newer Zavvi Bonds. As @Boilersteel notes, it has the small 007 on the spine. Thanks @Boilersteel, who is the expert, for setting me on this research and these wonderful purchases. STEEL POSTCARD ENVELOPE (and Dragon Tank) POSTCARDS POSTER BOOKLET

@Boilersteel Here is a pic of how Zavvi packaged them up. Loose with some bubble wrap. They put 5 in two different boxes (10 total + Hobbit trilogy steels). I had minor dings, hardly visible, on 3 steels, mostly on the backs. I have none of the defects you describe. These are all in great shape, with a consistent matte finish, good color, no scratches, no damage but the few minor dings I note above. Sorry you didn't get so lucky.

Grrrrrrrrr . . .

Thanks. Yeah, that back with the Hulk is a pretty special image. One of my favs of MCU edition images, it just happens to be on the back. The action with Cap on B1 is great, but it lacks the reckless abandon of the Hulk/BW image on B1. Thanks for your thoughts. I'm gunna go for the B1.

Okay, help me out, in hand, which do you prefer, B1 or B2?

Well said. From your keyboard to God's ears.

Are you going to strategically plan which lucky 4K will be 1,000 ordered/arrives? It better be deserving of that milestone.

I get that. My group loves this show. In fact, between this show and Rogue One, we are all starting to say . . . Luke who? Let's just keep going with the Caspian Andor Saga, a la Memento. And, imho, Disney should get Susanna White to direct every Star Wars project until the end of time.

I don't love the steel on this one, I prefer the Victoria's Secret version . . . which is of course included on the inside of this edition. I will be purchasing. The Beets Motel version as a full slip anybody?

Hey @javi, can you break it down a bit, why isn't this BluFans best, what about it do think could have been better?

Look what came in the mail yesterday from Zavvi @Boilersteel!! My USPS carrier was driving an Aston Martin, and I thought, aaaaaaahhhhh, I know what that is. Won't have a chance today to open, but will get to it tomorrow during the football games. I'll respond to your informative post above after I take a look at these. I'm curious if I will find some of the same issues you describe.

Gotta agree with this, the base looks a bit craft-y.

Come on Gary!!! I knew you wouldn't let that slide. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I had already ordered the DL, and just added the FS later. It was a full on newbie panic, in the grips of FOMO.

You called it, it happened just like you predicted. I started with the DL, but then had the exact same thought, and added the FS, that's a tremendous cover. My first double dip. I literally DM'd @Gary K yesterday or the day before telling him I wouldn't be a double dip guy . . . and here I am. Glad you got yours! Starting out a great Friday.

Vielen dank

Yeah, I'm sure you're right, thanks for the response.

WAKE UP @R1s1ngs0n!!!!!!!

My reputation is worse here than anywhere else in the world. How far can I go down in reputation? Is there an award for -100 reputation? I can do it, I know I can . . . . . . or maybe I should just hide out for a while.

I was sitting in that jacuzzi reading the scammer thread, such a bummer. Thought I’d spread some virtual relaxation to the psycho-verse. it’s a spa in the Blue Ridge Mnts, about an hour from Charlottesville.

Thanks Gary.

I’ve been hiking so much this fall, I decided I had to take the day off and go to the spa in the mountains amongst the changing leaves. Don’t hate me psychos! All typos for the next hour are due to extreme relaxation

Are there other options of this movie in premium editions or is this the version to get? This is one title I haven’t seen ref’d much. just curious.

Thanks @Boilersteel Yeah I have an account there and I checked there as soon as I saw your post and it was gone. Was wondering if there was another spot to check. John just sent me Manta Lab The Batman, so I’ll be happy with that. However, I prob would have grabbed the CM version too had I gotten there quickly enough. I can’t control myself with cool editions of great movies.

Yeah, I'm following that thread, but was just clarifying for me and the other newbies. Thanks Gary. Have fun at the Rangers game tonight!
