Well at least not seen my pics on eBay.

 

[SaberTooth]

^ huh?

 

[Jb162009]

Same here well it will be Monday for me now as they get delivered to work, oh well

It's really annoying as it was sent a day earlier than normal yet it's going to be a day later.

Does anyone know is hermes delivers on Saturday, if they don't then it seems I won't be getting it until Monday

 

[SaberTooth]

^ I think they may deliver on a Saturday, but their service can be exceptionally poor. Some ppl have been known to wait weeks for a order to show up.

hopefully they do come tomorrow. i cant see what the hold up is because normally they recieve it the next day after play say "your order has been dispatched", then its:

- Recieved at Depot
-Processed at depot
-Out for Delivery
-Courier received
-then finally signature from Customer

^ All that gets done in a day but for my BR, they received it On Wednesday & it took until Today for them to say:

"Hub Trailer Via Sorter" and i guess that means they still got to sort it and then send it depot. From what you said, im thinking it may be another week until i see my BR arrive

 

[SaberTooth]

^ If my BR order had qualified for Hermes I would of expected it this morning, as that is when my previous Transformers/Watchmen order came (Friday morning).

The fact that it seems to be a no show for most ppl here, is just another sign of their lame-ass service

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

for those of you who have it now, is there any glue or tape holding the card to the steelbook?

Royal Mail = Receive Friday
Herpes = Receive when ever they feel like delivering

i may still be lucky and i might get it around 6pm later the same as i previous got Watchmen/Transformer/shaun of dead/hot fuzz and then 2 x War of the Worlds.

Nows its just fingers crossed until the doorbell rings then rushing to see who it is. If it havent got BR then they can bugger off lol

I think that should read :-

Royal Mail = Receive Friday
Herpes = Chuck it over the fence when ever they can be bothered to deliver

I've had some recent deliveries on a Saturday from Hermes, I was hoping for delivery today with it been despatched a day early and plus I'm off over the weekend so looks like its a trip to work tomorrow once I get a txt off the boss.

Ok not looking good for me, just decided to check the tracking status and it still says order generated and that was from the 21st and that's it unless it changes later today/night.

Mine has been on "Order Generated" til last night and now its "Hub Trailer Via Sorter" usually get em by today

 

[bigfub]

Mine's been sat on order generated since Wednesday It's not as if it's a bulk order either.

 

[Uraki]

My copies arrived this afternoon (via Hermes - they actually rang the doorbell this time )

Added photos. Haven't opened yet but has a nice gloss finish from the initial looks

 

[SaberTooth]

^ Congrats . Hey, can you tell us about the "Premium Finish" ?

 

[surfury]

for those of you who have it now, is there any glue or tape holding the card to the steelbook?

Yes, 4 big blobs of glue on the back only but thankfully they peel off J-card and steel with the absolute minimum of fuss. No tape at all. Care though with other Steels as they did seem hard I was afraid it might have dented next copy when packaged to play.

btw the inside art is black and white, well it is to my eyes, certainly not as colourful as shown in OP.

 

[ALK]

I won't lie guys, I had a complete nerdgasm when I opened these 2 today.

Seriously, they look SO damn beautiful when you see them in real life.

As for the BR set, the embossed/debossed/whatever feels great, and the red have a very nice shine to it. Came with a booklet, and some postcard things that I think is unrelated to BR. I seriously consider this my best Steel ever, and it arriving with the lovely Ninja Scroll makes them both a perfect early birthday present for me. :3

Now just to hope HMV don't screw up my Amazing Spiderman somehow....

Hub Trailer Via Sorter WTF does that mean ?
