May as well post that people may want to consider the Special Edition which doesn't bother with the DVD but it's a little cheaper at ?14:85.

That's the version I've had on pre-order as I really don't like the tin boxes and I don't need the DVD.

That SB LE has to be the worst case design i've ever seen

Christ they could have used the futuristic city scape in bas relief or the robots head. That red lettering on a simcity picture is just pap. Or is it just me?

It's a similar price at Amazon also, I pre-ordered mine from there a month back

It's actually the film's original artwork produced by the Russian artist Boris Bilinsky and he, like Fritz Lang, was heavily influenced by the German Expressionism movement which had boomed in the 1920s.

Hopefully the blue & green labels are removable but I do think that it suits the film perfectly.

I'd never seen that pic. Thought it was a new design for the BR release. I much prefer the golden poster with the robot
