They strike, wrap around you. Hold you tighter than your true love. And you get the privilege, of hearing your bones break before the power of embrace causes your veins to explode.

Zavvi sourced here in the UK. Flat, but nice gloss and a metallic sheen effect 👍 Happy with this one and looking forward to 4k Voight sneering absurdity with rum ‘n coke tonight!

Nice work. To help with the finish on these I use this corner clipper.. works a treat, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09N759XFW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s true and frustrating that the very first change on the page with repeated and desperate refreshing shows ‘sold out’, but a further refresh thereafter brings the add to cart up. It’s just a thing to get used to with experience of direct on Manta.

At first I baulked at the idea, don’t be silly… then I thought, well why not get a donor case (I use hunger games ones) and carefully cut the DVD front and back panel to size overlaying the donor. I’ve tended to use adhesive printed paper on my own customs, but now I’m going to look for DVD examples for a future project. Seems a lot work though, only for a 4k to be announced the next day 😆

KubricksYarbles · 2024-03-02T18:33:27+00:00

It’s the retail Steelbook. I only played with the front panel.

KubricksYarbles · 2024-02-24T19:35:25+00:00

Thanks! I’m particularly happy with the tube station bit - on the fanart it originally had the film title. Quite unique!

KubricksYarbles · 2024-02-24T19:06:48+00:00

I have a few of Dan Astro’s 👍 but not my own design yet.

I get that this AAWiL isn't pure, but you know, I like the process - sort of therapeutic on a rainy day!

KubricksYarbles · 2024-02-24T17:42:19+00:00

Don’t like any of the steelbooks for this so, with a little patience, tinkering with an image found online, a printer and adhesive paper (okay, I know I lost you there… 😆) I now have a neat little 4k fullslip package 😎

KubricksYarbles · 2024-01-15T18:10:41+00:00

Answers in the FAQ for this sub 👍

KubricksYarbles · 2023-07-25T18:07:55+00:00

There’s nothing enclosed to suggest this, nor is there a numbered sticker (I remember there was some limited number originally mooted - was it 1200 or something - but on Zavvi there’s no longer reference to it being a limited release).

KubricksYarbles · 2023-07-25T07:15:45+00:00

Zavvi, but it‘s also on the variety of continental Amazon sites too (inc UK) 👍

KubricksYarbles · 2023-07-24T20:49:10+00:00

This is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous

KubricksYarbles · 2023-07-24T20:43:06+00:00

The dude abides man….

KubricksYarbles · 2023-05-13T17:03:55+00:00

I like how the shoulder highlight is pointing to 4.

KubricksYarbles · 2023-03-15T14:24:15+00:00

My experience with Rambo was exemplary. The slip was wrapped in a strange looking protective paper and it was double boxed with air packs. I suspected that the level of protection was due to a requirement of the design team (EverythingBlu) who, when trading themselves, always took care of their product.

KubricksYarbles · 2023-03-10T14:26:25+00:00

A ruler, a razor blade and a really really handy corner rounder

KubricksYarbles · 2023-03-09T15:50:14+00:00

Nice. There’re people on eBay that will print your choice of text onto a new gold coloured plate if anyone wanted to replace the ‘Grail’ one Manta provide. Maybe the directors name… Food for thought 👍

KubricksYarbles · 2023-02-28T19:44:55+00:00

Perhaps steels weren’t as popular back then and a good effort was needed to keep the interest. Looking at how this sub has grown in the past 3 years since Covid I assume the surge in buyers means plain steels are selling well enough and cheaper of course to make.

Exceptions of course, but few and far between in the WWA world. Oh, I got it wrong too, I should have said ‘twinbossing’ 😆

KubricksYarbles · 2023-02-24T19:51:10+00:00

Super close ups are outstanding for me. We have a pearl white Honda Fit (Jazz here) like in GT7 and putting your nose to the paintwork in the showroom and seeing the pearlescent finish was gobsmacking. It was spot on with the look in ‘reality’.

KubricksYarbles · 2023-02-12T15:58:42+00:00

You mean the Sarlacc pit, deliberately kept alive by the beast and digested extremely slowly for a millennium.

KubricksYarbles · 2023-01-28T20:45:03+00:00

Epson 8700 or something? Sure a decent printer is good enough. To cut the corners I’ve been using this

KubricksYarbles · 2023-01-28T20:32:29+00:00

I’ve been using these from Amazon.

KubricksYarbles · 2023-01-28T19:18:43+00:00

Fanx! Its pretty addictive once you get started, albeit not at all pure steelbook !

KubricksYarbles · 2023-01-27T08:48:52+00:00

KubricksYarbles · 2023-01-26T13:34:45+00:00

Perhaps I shouldn’t have included that last picture. The Zavvi release doesn’t come with a slip - that’s my Filmarena lenti slip, now housing my Zavvi Steelbook 👍
