Wonder if this is different than the French /FNAC collectors edition.

They should take notes from the mini-sweater release, and include a rug this time. It would really tie the room together.

Thanks to @Gary K I have now been purchasing from Orbit DVD and Diabolic DVD!  Both ship safely in boxes.  Don't have to worry about how Amazon or Zavvi will send it now thank goodness.  This one came from Diabolic DVD.

 

European steelbook full gloss, I think I read US was zero finish or matte.

Unbelievable, I was just watching an unboxing video for this edition 5 minutes ago and came back here to see your post 😅

Very nice edition. As is the case with a lot of WWA steels, the UK ones generally receive full gloss treatment while the US gets matte finish. Definitely prefer the glossy finish and the slipcase is the cherry on top.

For now I’m sticking with my older Zavvi steel as I prefer the artwork on that one, while still hoping someday a proper Premium might get released.

It just varies.  With most MCUs the US gets gloss and ROW gets matte or sometimes matte with spot gloss.  With these last Universal releases (Jaws and Lebowski) US got matte and ROW got gloss.  Paramount Scream ones are also like MCU and US got gloss and ROW matte.  Not make or break, but I usually prefer gloss if available.
