I really hate it when a ToC steel arrives in a jiffybag...

 

[virkia]

I'm in the UK so may change my order to HMV as well...

If you want a slightly reduced price WB is a better bet and the wraparound cardboard packaging is similar to HMV's:-

Looks great . . . such a pleasant surprise to see artwork on the back when I was really expecting a small centrally placed logo as on BR, MM:FR and RPO.

Zavvi went live 9 hours ago
As these titans of cult releases are shared print run with multiple UK retailers zavvi would have been allocated at set amount

Still available to pre order from Amazon UK/WB Shop/HMV/eBay -Entertainment Store

Also available to pre order from France/Italy/Germany see threads for those countries

Thanks Paul, ordered via Amazon Italia. Was any code working on Zavvi? I read something

 

[hatredhorror]

the steelbook kinda sucks tbh... but the edition overall might look nice inside the plastic slipcase

 

[Mickle_89]

Only sold out on Zavvi, not the other places. I just ordered from WBshop and used the 'Welcome' code and snagged 10% off.

Is it the first time you've ordered from WB, for the welcome code to work? Once it's used I don't believe it can be used again now, unless you create and sign up with a different email address each time. Whereas until not so long ago you could just checkout as a guest and the 10% welcome code worked every time, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

if they tried to play and emphasized on RED, seeing the inside art, now i think it'd be more appropriate to be the front since the existing front never looked that red in the film...

The confusion is that they've put this Dave:

into this tunnel:

It's one of those art choices where I look at it and think, "???" I don't get it. If anything, I think the contrast between bright white on the front cover and bright red on the back cover could have been pretty cool. As it is, this steelbook seems like nonsense.

It's the second time for me, as I got Mad Max through WB shop as well, however I forgot to use the 'Welcome' code for that one, so I'm not sure if I just got lucky that it recognised I hadn't used it yet.

I think the contrast between bright white on the front cover and bright red on the back cover could have been pretty cool.

A bit like the 2015 one? I think it did it better.

A bit like the 2015 one? I think it did it better.

Yes, but actually white this time, and more in the art style of the ToC release. I tried to mimic that a bit in the mockup I posted.

 

[Ranavalone]

Any ideas from past ToC releases if the blu-ray will be region-free? The previous 2001 steel from Zavvi was region 2, right?

It's a Warner release, so the Blu-ray will be region-free for sure; just like all previous Blu-ray releases.

 

[Funashi]

Hey ToC, please do A Clockwork Orange!

Where did you guys get this code from?
Amazon say it's been supplied by the manufacturers and when I use the link they gave me it takes me to Zoom.
WTF???

 

[Devoid Of Truth]

Figures. Yet another release Amazon UK won’t deliver to the US.

I originally saw the code on uk hot deals, then a few days later amazon themselves emailed me the code.

Had a live chat with amazon and it appears only customers who have received the code via email are eligible despite the code being available on the UK hot deals site....
