Roy and the agents follow the clues that have drawn them to reach a site where they will have a close encounter of the third kind – contact.

For now it works out cheaper to order from Amazon USA even after shipping and import fees deposit included

It's trade wide release Amazon UK and other UK retailers will list at some stage

No problem mate. Luckily i came across it. Cancelled the zavvi order and ordered from zoom. Always got the blu-rays on Saturday (sometimes Friday) with zoom

Pricey!
I hope we start seeing orders for standard edition for UHD like the US is getting.
Amazon have yet to put either edition for sale.

Can you take off the rating marks? Are they stickers? Or “burned” into the cover?

the ratings logos are part of the J-card, and so come off with that.

if interested, i posted my unboxing on the Ltd Edit thread for this release, here. hope you find some of it useful.
