Great that HMV have come out on top. I love seeing steelbooks in person. Alot of the ones in my collection, I only have because of HMV, I wouldn't of ordered them if I hadn't seen them in person

I really thought, how bad a jumbo would look so i went ahead and pre ordered it in september. But I promptly cancelled my order as soon as I saw those pictures. Looks weird and horrid

You're lucky. My store got no Hobbits delivered, even though I paid for mine already. Hopefully tomorrow.

Yep got mine home and after removing the cellophane it too is all scratched in the top right hand rear corner , going straight back for a replacement

Annoyingly mine didn't turn up today, despite ordering with 'Prime' first class postage

Same. It's going back, anyway. Bad enough it's a jumbo, but printing '3D' on the front, is having a laff.

I don't understand! None of the preview mockups posted on Amazon.uk or Zavvi have the giant 3D logo on the front! I would never had ordered this if I thought it looked like that! Whose idea is it in the marketing departments to go back and add this **** logo after the mockups have already been released? Truth in advertising, please? Just so upsetting

And people love jumbo steelbooks. Look at the horrible black plastic inside. Roll on walking dead season 3 steelbook. Others will have nice artwork and season 3 will be horrible.

So glad I cancelled this uk edition. Interested to see how the Canadian steelbook turns out now it's 4 discs.

The Canadian version doesn't have 2D (to me, UV doesn't count, as it's not on a disc..)

 

[Choi Chungkwon]

anyone can confirm all disc (2d, 3d, special feature disc) including korean subtitle ?

Would also like to know if audio did not get downgraded like Pacific Rim.

 

[extantsrevenge]

What is wrong with these companies. I hate 3D and now they even print this ugly 3D Logo on the front of the SB. Would have been nice to know that before release

That looks so much better

that's for sure that hasn't happen, but it'd be great to know the actual audios on both 3D and 2D discs.

Never dawned on me at the time that this would be a Jumbo SteelBook, although common sense should have alerted me. Was somewhat of a surprise to me when it arrived yesterday! I pre-ordered on day one by the way (as soon as it was announced), before the image of the artwork was released

thanks, would've been great to see the subs files as well, but this for me confirms that 3D disc is the same as italian one.
