Seriously? You must be extremely lucky then.

In UK the import limit is £15, so every package over that amount is subject to import VAT. The only time you don't have to pay it is when the customs guys let it through because they can't be bothered to open up the package. The amount of packages they just "let through" varies from country to country of course, but if this is the first time you've ever been charged, you must've been born under a lucky star

To be fair, I've ordered a bunch of steels from Amazon.ca to the UK and not been charged yet *knock wood*. There should be another parcel with 3 of these steels either today or tomorrow, so hopefully the luck continues!

I would make special mention that Scott Pilgrim and Lock Stock are the same colour steelbook... Even though on the images, they are yellow and an off-green.

They both arrived as dark yellow.

Typically, as soon as I say that I receive a text from DHL asking for £15. Argh!

Advertised next week in Future Shop flyer for 12.99$

All have dropped to USD $9.99 on Amazon.com

Dazed and Confused is perfect for what I'm feeling right now. I mean, the locker design is begging to be embossed.

Looks inline with this cover:

^ That is the worst cover for any film ive ever seen ever in all everness.

Are the insides just unpainted steel or the same color as the cover?

The insides are the same colour as the covers, no inside art

The finish on these steels is pretty bad too.

They looked really cool in hand

So after paying the £15 DHL fee, @Metasyntactic gave me a couple of tips and I ended up getting Amazon to refund it. Bonus

 

[Flloydo]

My psycho still hasn't dispatched from Amazon.com. Sort it the **** out!

Just received mine. Got some pretty gnarly streaking on Lock, Stock. You can only see it in the light though so not too fussed (EDIT: Not streaking! Supposed to be giving the impression of a wooden bar. My bad!) Overall I quite like them.

(Should be noted that all 3 came with Canadian UV codes. Useless to me. First 3 Canadians to PM me with their film choice gets it!)

I was in Walmart today and I saw lock stock and two smoking barrels, casino, 8 mile, and dazed and confused which according to this thread are supposed to be Canadian releases. I saw some US ones too like blues brothers and psycho and scott pilgrim, shaun of the dead as well. Tempted to go grab lock stock and casino maybe shaun of the dead.

Just curious, how close to Canada are you?

Not close at all I am in Utah I am closer to Mexico.

 

[sirdizzy]

This is what they had

 

[sirdizzy]

So just missing An American Werewolf in London and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I grabbed Lock, Stock and a Shaun of the Dead had to restrain myself as there is 22 Jump Street and Sin City a Dame to Kill for tomorrow.

I was also in Walmart earlier today and saw the same titles that were supposed to be Canadian titles and I live in New Jersey. I contemplated picking a few of these up but then thought about how many other pre orders and group buys I have to pay for soon so I decided against it.
