Anybody else got dented, scratched up, paint chipped photos and is willing to share?

 

[Antman]

Good thing one survived. But is the wavy line a paint defect? Its hard to capture it on a photo, but if you have the same thing you'll know what I mean.

I spotted the same on mine, but when I opened it up it was fine - figure it's just a marking on the shrink wrap..

G'day Ninjas

So, Arrow have included more postcards in this release and again I'd like to try and collect them all. If any Ninja doesn't want there postcard please can I ask you to PM me and let me know - happy to pay postage

Ah good to know! Thanks Dr. Pym

 

[Ripley18711]

I ordered 2. One has a 2.5inch scratch on the front starting on the j card upwards (at first I thought it was the wrapping) and the other (which I'll be keeping has a couple of tiny paint chips really gutted I was hoping to eventually get a decent trade with this one too. Don't know whether to offer it for trade still but with a warning or just return it?!?

So who is the one that claimed it would have a premium finish? I think its time to stop believing any of the hype until they come out from now on.

 

[SimonLDT]

This definitely has a premium finish on it. The black is kinda in between a matte/gloss finish (similar to the Shutter Island Paramount steel) and the red blood definitely has a metallic/bling shine to it. This is no dull cheap finish like the Fox steels (just compare the black paint on this to Prometheus and you'll notice the difference right away).

 

[Maccadinho25]

Paint chips, paint blobs, slight scratches..... quality control out of the window again

Agreed. This one is riddled with QC issues.

Mine has scratches on the spine. Have a look at the text alignment on the spine. It's rubbish. Steelbook is not even glossy. How the heck is this called premium finish?

 

[Frasr]

Personally I think it's a great steelbook, feels really sturdy and nice debossing.
Shame it didn't some with the other booklet & poster from the standard release.

What are the chances once I get to 30 posts that I would be able to get one of these in a trade? Any idea?

jezhead - 30 posts and you may enter into the Aladdin's Cave

 

[Flip]

Awesome, usually how does it work? For example I would have access to future shop store books but only what they have in stock. Good chance someone will want a new title to trade with mel

futureshop releases are always popular with collectors , you should have no problem getting it from a trade

 

[SaberTooth]

I cant comment 100% on the "Premium Finish" as mine is still sealed for now, but i will say that It's the second fishy thing about this release.*

Spoiler

(*the first and biggest being that it outsold Iron Man when u consider how niche this movie is compared to IM and it's whole "holy grail" aura. 1 day sales difference is nothing)

Still it's great value release despite some possible shadyness, and a highly regarded movie which I will enjoy watching whenever I pluck up the courage to remove the seal


Plus I deliberately avoided Play's upcoming chump-tastic Oldboy

How come Karl01 post was deleted regarding Play? I like the way this release came to be, small paint chips doesn't effect me

Mate that says more about the way this forum is going than anything else.

 

[Soprano]

Mine turned up

Which is why I order at least three of any I really want

Gutted for you Soprano. Were the others ok?
