Seriously? It's a metal pak? The spine does make it look like a steelbook from the unboxing video.

Also interesting to note that some copies of this edition of the game were shipped sealed, while other copies were shipped without a factory seal. I personally noted a bunch of Xbox One copies without a seal.

It's an ironpack not metalpak. Ironpacks have spines so at a glance it looks like a steelbook.

Sneaky basterds!!
But the promos does state "collectible steel case"

They're so badly executed that they cause the arms to dangle quite loosely on the figure. You simply can't fasten the arms securely on the figure. The arms, as a consequence, become all but impossible to place in a fixed pose, and they ultimately always end up danglingly low, like limp weiners. On top of that, since they attach so loosely to the figure, the arms are likely to fall off easily.

This is truly inexcusable in a product costing $400.

Worse is that, even though the figure is made using plastic, overall, it's not bad at all.
It's just these damn arms that kill it for me.

Well that sound highly disappointing
I'm contemplating of returning mine even if I lose $9 for shipping cost :'(

Is this not worth its cost/value??
AUS$500 vs Quality (lack there of)....

Noooooooooooooo how could they do that??? At that price it should be no compromise.... No ironpacks and NO LIMP ARMS!!

It is a steelbook. It has a regular spin like Steelbook.

Well unless Ironpak have seriously improved their production qualities then that's a steelbook - you can see the plastic behind the spine.....

I'm looking at this ebay listing:

and it doesn't look like a steelbook ( from the view of the side opposite the spine )
