Longer than the Lord of the rings though!

I'm still waiting on the car chase bit and sex scene! Lol

Thanks mate, ordered two copies to be shure at least one of them is allright!

Good luck, I've had 3 copies of this from Zavvi and all were the same!

I don't think there is a perfect copy of this out there mate lol. I ordered one fron Spain and one fron Zavvi, Both have defects.

Spain version.
1. Has two scratches on the front. One going across just above the face and another going down to the right of the face.
2. Has a paint chip on the front.
3. Has paint chip one of the corners.
4. Paint seems very faint on the corners.
5. Faint scratches on the back.

Zavvi version.
I'm kinda scared to open this TBH lol, but so far I can see one defect...
1. Debossing is way off on the face.

I really don't see Zavvi's version being much better than the Spain version though

No quality control on this one it seems. Why does this always happen with the best releases?

Wait, I thought this was that kind of movie.

No?

It is always difficult with black high gloss steelbooks. You will see every little defect...

Back in stock and I still ain't biting, Zavvi can shove this where the sun don't shine!!

i'm very happy now that zavvi cancelled my 2 copies because of payment problems. now that i would have the chance to pre-order, i don't need it anymore. i have the spanish steelbook, no need for a 3d disc.
60€ saved.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed though , if they're damaged, they'll get their sh*t back.

........and still nothing in the post today!

After reading the last few pages, I'm glad I didn't make it into the pre-order limit. I preferred the white design a lot more, but still would've bought this now if people weren't complaining about all the defects on the steel itself .. After spending so much money, it becomes really disheartening to receive a steelbook full of defects .. So with a heavy heart, not ordering this :/

 

[henry00x]

i should have cancelled this and stuck with the spanish release

zavvi is sneaky, they keep the white pic up until pre-orders ship, and then change it after when they have leftover stock

 

[thop1988]

bloody still n0thing in the mail.. zavvi and royal mail the worst connection ever!!

aye, but tbh, its exactly what I expect from zavvi

 

[richrebel]

I received this even though I forgot that I ordered it. Was going to be a pressie to my now ex girlfriend but now I guess I can at least return it. Found it not so amusing the design changed so dramatically though and I am not surprised so many people are cross with it.
