That was really out of the blue!!

I was just as surprised as you. I'm glad they're back, especially Silver Linings Playbook. Loved that film

When did the release date change on this one?

mine still states 5th (hence coming in here to check if anyone else's had shipped yet)

Not long ago. It changed on the other four as well (Silver Linings Playbook, Saw and Blades 2 & 3).
My card hasn't been charged yet and I have a feeling it will be pushed to a later date (again)

Could do with it coming out after xmas tbh - though I'd been charged for this and running low on fund between a house move, xmas and several other steels that have already been shipped.
Then agian, I dont want it to be cancelled again. Am gagging to re-watch this movie

Could you check again please about being charged for this one. It's weird that they charged your card and not everyone else's.
The date was pushed back to December 12. That's what zavvi told me in an email even though that's not what I asked but a good piece of info to have.

Where else are these available if they're no longer Zavvi exclusives?

Silver Linings Playbook is also listed on amazon.co.uk. Didn't find the other four.

Sold out?!

 

[javiermendoza]

Sold out?!

I don't think it's sold out. I think it's just zavvi's way of telling us that the release date has changed

 

[paulboland]

Sold out?!

It's not sold out
Release date was 5th December on the website but no stock arrived when this happens the listing auto goes sold out because Zavvi don't have it in stock
If stock arrives this week it will change to buy now when in stock

If it's going to have a release date next week or a later date
Zavvi will update the listing when they have a new release date and it will go back to a pre order listing with new release date

I heard they might get the stock later this week but it's not 100% confirmed yet

Thanks for sharing noodles.
I wonder if it's a cheap matte finish or if it has quality to it.

Hard to tell from that photo unfortunately, and it's the only one I could find. To be honest, I didn't even realise it had been released yet!

 

[yeslek]

What a massive lazy let down this turned out to be

Hoped for the front to have the same finish the Rear UK Wolf of Wall Street steel had as it would be a contendor for steel of the year(front would be) at least, but nah. Lazy, matte, plastic flooking finish with no embossing or debossing anywhere,
HUGE shame


But at least i own the movie again(sold the ameray when this was first announced at the start of the year)

Oh and is it me or is the image further to the right (on front) than left! The black part on the left is wider, thus the image print is off centre

It's just you but if I was in your place I would send it back, immediately!! No screwing around! Just reject the parcel and never order steelbooks again. Enough is enough

Looks full gloss to me......

its clearly not a one off (judging by the pics on here - looks off centre in all)

but you joke, I would send it back if I still have the bloody ameray (sadly, or not, I love this movie so will put up with and keep the copy I have now)

doesnt look too glossy in person - its like good gloss has several layers and this just has the one layer.
