Here's the UK artwork

Only a 1000 of these being made in the UK, but at £90 it's a pass for me

Don't know if i can keep it with all the stuff coming next month but might as well pre-order it just in case. But for that price, James Camerons signature better be real and not scanned on.

I can't see it being real but that would be nice if it was.

So for £72 more, you get a printed signature on a Film cell of a film that was shot digitally, plus a book and a numbered case.

Sounds like a rip off to me, especially when you compare it to the Back to the Future Tin Box and the Inception Briefcase

Agreed. It looks nice but not that nice.

Pretty much. It's a nice set but i'm having second thoughts with that price. If it was between £40-50 i would keep it but £90 is too much.
