Same here.

That's early! They seem to be charging earlier and earlier for pre-releases these days.

Not been charged for Fifth Element yet, though (and that's got the same release date).

I agree. Bit cheeky really. Hadn't yet made up my mind about it, now I have no choice. Other companies charge and dispatch on the same day.

I'd forgotten the Fifth Element pre-order entirely. August has been expensive but seems to have gone unnoticed by the boss.

Well, now you've just jinxed it..

Order dispatched

Despatched, over 1 week since charged by Zavvi. They are doing it earlier and earlier now.....

Haven’t seen this for ages so looking forward to seeing again

Just arrived. Looks glossy but no embossing.

Received Fifth Element just now, but not this, even though it was allegedly dispatched at the same time!

You're lucky. I've been waiting for post since Thursday 13th from both zavvi and other retailers and nothing has arrived. Must be about 12 items from zavvi and various UK outlets. Weird..... Any amazon stuff is arriving but not royal mail or parcel force.

Got both this and Fifth Element today. Nice and glossy*, with something I've personally not seen before:



*the now seemingly inevitable under-paint scratches present

 

[GeoRattray]

^ So it's Denmark that's responsible for these scratches on the latest steelbooks within the paint job: can any nation go to war with them for this travesty?

germany is very good at it

TBH my geography is bad, so did a quick Google maps for locations. I think it's time to send a few people from Hamburg to have a chat with your neighbors as the quality of steelbooks is declining in quality. Damn these scratches only seen in certain angles, not acceptable. They have the audacity to put their name on the steelbooks, sheesh, rubbing salt into the wounds of the depressed!

Received mine too... nice, clean artwork complimented by a glossy finish. Can't remember the last Paramount steel I bought, but it's good to see they're still producing great steels.

Nice bit of gloss. Re-watched last night. Funny as ever
