The demand for this seems to be a regional thing. Here in southern California they have been completely sold out since early yesterday. I picked mine up at 10:30 am yesterday and there were no more on the floor already. I checked for a second copy a little later for a friend after they saw mine and it said no store within 250 miles had it in stock. I assumed since others had mentioned finding more in store that it was due to the higher Latino population in SoCal and the movie's appreciation for the culture, so I checked my old zip code in Detroit today and every store still had them in stock. It's a bummer that they can't redistribute a percentage of their stock.

They have been as recently as a month ago. If you wait after release week, and it comes back for order, they are shipping the copies out of Best Buy stores, not from the warehouse.

I was told by a friend that went to pick up some copies last night that there were a number of them on the shelf still (but the store shows sold out at the moment)...

LOL - so what do you think happens when you have a reputation at your local Best Buy. Then it closes. Some of the employees move to a new one and it just happens to be the one I have to go to now (longer drive but closer to work)...

I already get dirty looks when I walk in with a box of returns...

Want to make sure I can walk back out again...

(I recently was told that I'm no longer able to return items to Target, new store policy)

You're persona non grata at your Target store? That's a first...lol

Yep, and my wife is not happy about it.

A lot of the damage were under the J-card. Might as well open them to save the trip.

I’d prefer mine sealed. And yes, that may be a risk.

Wow! That's no good. Do they look at her when she walks in and say "That's apsmith21's wife! Don't help her cause we have to restock her husband's movies"

Luckily I've always visited the return area by myself so she's safe - they don't know her as well as me, lol

You are wasting the DMR inside. The probable damage is not worth the risk when re-selling it.

Going to do a pop-in to my local store later today. Anyone else missing this that didn't get one from the group buy, that still needs help? Tag or PM please

apsmith21 · Mar 4, 2018

Added 3 more copies to the group buy, if anyone is looking

Purchased Coco Steelbook in GB

@apsmith21

I already have purchased in your GB's
Star Wars Last Jedi Steelbook Best Buy
Star Wars Last Jedi Digipak Target
Blade Runner 2049 Steelbook Best Buy

Is there much of a difference in cost if I want to get all 4 shipped same time instead of the usual 3 items or am I better of waiting to add another 2 GB items I might be interested in getting later

misformatt · Mar 4, 2018

Popped into my local store yesterday and they had 31(!) copies left on the shelves. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them stock that many copies of a single steelbook—let alone 5 days after its release date. Seems like they may have had a bit of an allocation/distribution problem this time around.

Yeah, it goes up by $10 or so next level up - depends on total weight. Pretty sure 5x will be fine. With 6x, hard to say for certain, but it's really more of a "wait until I invoice you for shipping"

Not a bad little steelbook. :thumbs:

Now that Coco won two Oscars, I think they are not gonna last long...

Restocked group buy with 5x more copies.

Steelbook looks great but only blu-ray and dvd? Does anyone even watch dvd format anymore? Uk version doesn't look as nice, but has at least 3D version as well.

Mickle_89 · Mar 26, 2018

And to glossy steelbook no.3! :oohyeah:

All thanks again to @misformatt :thumbs:

I love this steel very much. The art and colours are amazing as is the super glossy finish :drool:

Am excited to see what Blufans come up with for a premium release given there's so much colourful material for this movie but this as a beautiful stand-alone WWA, I just couldn't resist :drool:

Chose to import this over zavvi's as I prefer the debossed title on the front along with the (I think...) superior finish
