The outer slipcase is made of sturdy cardboard with embossing effects. It is more glossy than the “Unexpected Journey” one (which was rather flat). The title is embossed.
[Editor’s note: I love embossing as a design element; I think this looks great]
The back of the outer slipcase, with a Dwarvish ornament in the middle.
And the spine. Looks nice, on first glance. Unfortunately, we are in for a rather unpleasant surprise…
Still, everything looks good and the unpacking continues. The inside digipak (foldout cardboard thingie). The digipak has the same design as the US DVD, with a picture (again, if you don’t know where to find this one — head to Walmart).
