I've grabbed one too. Just back from my holiday and the hmv jumbo was sitting here in a plastic bag with a lovely big dent at the top. I'm sure amazon will do a much better job

lightning deal, got one, limited to 8000, 12.49 get in there

There's only one problem... it looks crap and it's a jumbo. All steelbooks are limited. All of the Universal and Fox Play.com steelbooks are limited to 4,000 and none have sold out. I hardly think this will have scalpers grabbing for their credit cards any time soon.

But it is a good way of hopefully getting a dent free one after hmv ruined approximately all their copies :scat:
 
Received mine today too, and I can't say I'm too impressed with my first jumbo steelbook. I'm not sure if it's the same for all jumbos, but the spine is actually just a sticker stuck on bare metal... my sticker isn't quite stuck on straight either, so about 2mm of the bottom is just hanging over the edge. I'm tempted to pull it off and stick it back on, but knowing my luck the whole thing will tear or something.

Apart from that, I like the artwork and embossing, and thanks to Amazon's packaging ir arrived with no damage! My number is 7805 by the way. :)

Quite possibly, if not in the UK, then more than likely somewhere else.


You can also bet they'll do a single steelbook for 'The Dark Knight Rises', which is what I'll be holding out for.
 
That's the one I think I'll hold out for, although individual's would be very tempting for the right price1 This is going to be a very expensive hobby I've taken up :)
 
Unbelievable. I don't know why anyone would want this piece of tat in their collection :dunno:

Snool there are a lot of people that do like this. There is a little of something for everyone in the steelbook industry please respect that. If you don't like it then I respect your decision but please let others make there own assessment of it. :)
