I received my copy from Zoom on Friday and very relieved that it was shipped in a cardboard fold-over mailer and not a jiffy bag.
This is a very nice set; the sturdy slipbox has a nice velvety texture and the lenticular image has some depth. Also, no glue on the J-card . Very pleased to have ordered this with the discount code for £16.99 .

Just got mine.. it must have come yesterday but I didn't know.. £17.99 from zoom with the 10% discount.. sadly mine was sent in a jiffy bag so maybe they don't have consistency with packaging. not opened it yet but I didn't know it had a lenti so that's a nice surprise and it seems very solidly made.. off to unwrap, hopefully no surprises from the jiffy bag.. I'm excited
Update.. wow what a great set, I absolutely love it.. I usually have no interest in digipacks (if that's what this is) but if they were all this good I could get hooked I love the outta box, feels really nice and looks great with the lenti and the gold title. feels and looks quality and for a great price and it survived the jiffy bag
Gonna watch the original 3 movies then check out the 3D version in the set
Surprised to hear that your copy was sent in a jiffy bag but hopefully it hasn't been damaged . Even if it is though, Zoom customer service is quite helpful and I'm sure you would get a replacement copy without hassle .
It's a great set which exceeded my expectations and imo is well worth the full purchase price. Just wish I could watch the 3D version .
Pleased the package wasn't damaged; that must have been quite a relief. (I've been wanting to upgrade my current TV for some time but will wait and see what is revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show next year).I was lucky, there wasn't any damage to the set I'm surprised though cos when I picked it up of the stairs (my downstairs neighbour leaves my parcels there) it felt really heavy and I couldn't think what it could be but knew it was something collectable I'd ordered so was expecting damage as the floor downstairs has hard tiles so it would have dropped down heavy through the letter box and could've got a nice dent.. it's perfect though
It's definitely worth the full price, I like it so much I think it's worth even more, maybe £25.. it was an absolute bargain, I'm so happy I have it.
sorry you can't watch the 3D disc, are you planning to get a 3D tv in the future? I only got mine last year, it's my first smart tv too.. I don't know how I lived with the 720p dumb tv for 10 years it was just so well made I never had a problem with it so I couldn't justify spending more money when my old set worked fine, then I decided that I've spent so much money on blu rays and I couldn't even watch them in full HD So I got one.. I didn't go for 4K though, I thought I'd upgrade to that when it's been out a while and gone down in price but I honestly am happy with what I have now and I've got a 6 year cover on it so I'll at least have it for that long.. I keep doing this lately, going way off topic in threadssorry
I'm just watching star wars 1 (not IV lol) my first time watching this movie on blu ray, looks great, especially for such an old movie but I'm assuming this version I have (from the recent steelbook release)is the one they added the new cgi to, I would prefer to watch the same version I grew up watching.. has it been released on blu ray?
I must admit I've been messing around looking stuff up online on my phone whilst watching the film I know the plot well enough to be able to do that but I shouldve paid more attention (i will with 2 and 3) i like watching 3D movies cos it makes me keep my eyes on the film as I can't look at my phone cos the glasses will make the screen flicker.. that way I get immersed in the movie a lot more than when I watch 2D. I've only seen the force awakens once and I really enjoyed it so looking forward to getting to it
Pleased the package wasn't damaged; that must have been quite a relief. (I've been wanting to upgrade my current TV for some time but will wait and see what is revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show next year).
I was hoping that this set would have a lenticular cover as the mock-ups seemed to suggest it would . It's just a nice finishing touch to a great set .
Got a refund from Amazon. What a bargain now! Can't wait to receive it, probably tomorrow.Hm, haven't even received my pre-order yet and it drops £7.00 in price...
I just kindly asked them to refund me the difference, and so they did.Amazon just got a strongly worded email from me
