Wheres quality control, mine has the same lines in same place.Oh Dear, Oh Dear, I had 2 pre-ordered from Zavvi (christmas gifts, honestly..), and zavvi as you know have had these shipped early, I received mine today, and oh god, what a disaster. It looks like there may be a manufacturing error with these, or at least mine. Both have horrid dirty black lines or streaks going vertically along the front AND read of the steelbook, in different places. I've added some pics of the issues.
I'd check your copies carefully.
These are pretty easy to see, but in strong light, become harder to spot.....

Thx for post on that, you are right, i never noticed, it has the same lines, Elemental from HMV, Barbie from Zavvi...so whoever is being used to print them is making a mess.Oh damn. That's bad. Copies of elemental were similar I noticed, however nowhere near as bad.
Scanavo print all steelbooks bud, nomatter the end retailer. It's their trademarked product lol so it'll be down to them.Thx for post on that, you are right, i never noticed, it has the same lines, Elemental from HMV, Barbie from Zavvi...so whoever is being used to print them is making a mess.
Can't get a replacement from retailer all will be like it i guess?
Would they issue replacements empty cases like they did with Star Wars?
yeh i thought so, no point trying to get a replacement from retailer, would Scanavo issue empty replacements for these?Scanavo print all steelbooks bud, nomatter the end retailer. It's their trademarked product lol so it'll be down to them.
I think that would be up to the distributor, but don't quote me on that. I'm pretty sure that's what happened with empire. People bitched at zavvi, then disney gave the greenlight to reprint. Think you'll have to go through the retailer either way, but it will be harder this time though as neither are exclusive to 1 retailer.yeh i thought so, no point trying to get a replacement from retailer, would Scanavo issue empty replacements for these?
yeh i got replacements for empire, guess will see what others say when they get them from Amazon etc.I think that would be up to the distributor, but don't quote me on that.

Empire was a big deal, and it being a Zavvi exclusive made it more easily to concentrate all complaints to Zavvi and make it loud enough for the studio/distributor to take notice and actually order a re-print. I wonder if it can be done with a wider release carried by multiple retailers…yeh i got replacements for empire, guess will see what others say when they get them from Amazon etc.
That was my exact thought. A reprint is very rare, empire being huge and with all complaints being tunnelled via zavvi made it manageable. Tradewide will be very difficult to get across.Empire was a big deal, and it being a Zavvi exclusive made it more easily to concentrate all complaints to Zavvi and make it loud enough for the studio/distributor to take notice and actually order a re-print.
