I will be having that. I've nearly pulled the trigger a few times on the MediaMarkt Steelbook as I like that cover but this is good as well.
 
I'm in ! Never heard of Menta lab, can we purchase direct in the UK ?
 
Think so mate. They have a website- let's hope it's better than Novas.

As you now realised, the 1/4 slip is only included in the One-Click version which includes 3 steelbooks (Full Slip + Lenti Slip + 1/4 slip Lenti magnet)
A bit sad for that because i was tempted by a quarter slip on its own.
 
A bit on the pricey side for my liking. :thumbsdow I'm long passed the stage where I'll pay £30+ for any steel now.

Agree, those release aren't cheap, I wish they would sell the steelbook on its own too.
Once you add in postage, estimate of $12 based on other HK retailers, it'll be over £40 for each one.
 
Shipping price is not bad for an Asian release and they usually bomb proof pack them.
What i'm also worried about are the extra taxes when arriving in Europe.
That's just an estimate on a few sites, could be more. It's been quoted that they will be customs friendly similar to Nova.

You never know. Maybe they will at a later stage?

That was my guesstimate too mate.

Gotta love that bomb proofing. :D

That's a big plus and a wise business decision. :smashin:
 
My days of expensive steels are done and dusted :( well unless I can hide it from the wife. And as I own this already it's not getting double dip.
 
Has anyone else noticed that the Superman emblem/shield is wrong? It should be red with yellow or gold not blue.

I know the original amaray releases showed this but that doesn't make it right.

I am excited for this one but I would quite like just the steelbook 1/4 with Lenti magnet. How sneaky of them. I certainly don't want this steelbook 3 times and having a steelbook of it already with a different design I will probably go for the full slip of this.

I am tempted to cancel zavvi Deadpool nearer time of release and opt for this one instead. No doubt this will be a thing of beauty.

Just out of curiosity, when these sites (blufans, kimchi, nova etc) have sought after pre-orders go live, how long is it until they sell out? Are we talking a matter of minutes?

Print Run (Total 2,500): Full Slip - 700 copies, numbered. Lenticular Slip - 900 Copies, numbered. [the other 900 are part of the One Click]
There are multiple Groups Buys guaranteeing you get one so the amount available to buy online will be limited and might not last very long at all, some of the Nova ones lasted minutes
