I can take some photos later, but I picked up steelbooks for "Perfect Creature" (R2 Dutch) and "Evil Aliens" (R2 Germany) at exploitedcinema. The R2 UK steelbook of "Casshern" is mighty purty too.

Scanavo did a very nice job with the front and back covers. Under the right lighting, the front cover actually comes alive. They also did some nice artwork to the DVDs. The inside artwork did nothing for me. A bit on the bland side, actually.

Terminator 2 Japanese Exclusive R2
Terminator 2 Judgment Day: Extreme Edition Japanese Exclusive R2
Taking these photos were difficult as the outer display box has a mirror polished finish to it and will pick up any finger prints. If you will notice, I changed the position of the outer display case, to keep the image of the camara out of the reflection. I wore latex gloves to take these photos.
The package includes two booklets and one of the booklets, to my understanding, is the movie script. Both booklets are in Japanese.
This Steelbook is easily the crown of all of my import Steelbooks, weighing in at a a massive 0.586 Kg.

**Steelbook warning**
Amazon.co.uk is having a huge Steelbook (Definitive Edition) sale. While the prices may look tempting, the quality of the Steelbooks covers are very disappointing. To be blunt, they are cr*p. I guess I lucked out with the Alien vs. Predator Steelbook.
My entire order of 10 movies are going back and the good news is that Amazon is paying for the return shipping.

The stock photo does not compare to what you will receive. This was a major let down for me. First time in my life that I ever returned an entire order.
Two thumbs down.

Horizontal R2 Steelbooks from Spain
I ordered five new Steelbooks from Spain, four of them are the new horizontal style. Shipping charges were a killer, but I'll receive the order in 1-2 days.

Update: I amended my order to add another horizontal Steelbook and take advantage of a coupon that pro-bassoonist supplied to me from the International thread.

My addiction to steelbooks have definitely moved into regions outside of the US because not enough steelbooks are released here to keep me satisfied. Threads like this unfortunately for my wallet feeds the fire!

After looking in this thread, I realize now more than I ever have before that we REALLY get screwed in the US as far as limited edition stuff goes. Good thing I'm not above importing.
