I hope we'll see soon the interior & back artworks... Because for now, i prefer the artwork of the french and canadian releases (with Smaug).
 
take a look in the previous page to see the back artwork; btw this jumbo has no inside artwork, just like the An unexpected journey EE jumbo ;)
 
Plus with Zavvi, even when you request a refund/replacement you still have to go through 72 hours of bull**** "we're really sorry, how about a 10% discount?" Er, no, £2.50 does not cover the fact that THE FRONT IS HANGING OFF THE DAMN STEELBOOK. It's going back for a refund and I'm buying from Amazon. They'll box it properly and I can pick it up from my Amazon locker the next day. :angry:

Zavvi have offered me 20% discount for the damage to mine even though I told them I want a refund.
I'm going to buy from ES where it's cheaper and the packaging has always been excellent.
 
If i remember correctly the first one was £19.99 in HMV when it first came out. I reckon this will be that price too. I will just pick myself a cherry copy on monday.
 
Serious question:

Why would anyone keep their Zavvi order when Amazon is the same price and Play is cheaper?

Where I live, play.com doesn't deliver and Amazon adds 4+ GBP os postage. That's why. But if it arrives damaged, I'll stop looking at the postal charges because the 4 GBP are well worth if it means no damages to the shipment...

All you have to do next time is reply for 20% Zavvi discount offer and and told them you can only accept refund or flawless replacement :thumbs: works every time :thumbs:
 
recieved mine from ES today, complete with spine slash and same scratch on Smaug's nose as shown previously, admittedly you cannot see that until you remove the J-card
