Compressing the unboxing video Will be online in an hour or so

Took more than an hour but the video is up

 

[Drum18]

Looks REALLY NICE!!!
Way to go Biscuit with those vids!!!


Oh... at 3:30, is that a scratch on your brand new tin???

 

[terry44]

Thats what I though a nasty scratch?

 

[blu-steel]

You unboxed yours!!!

Its OOS dude!!!

 

[biscuitnoir]

Yes it was a scratch under the cardboard, no way to see without unboxing

@chipvideo It's alright, I'm only anal about my steels

 

[Drum18]

Too bad my friend. I hate when that happens, but as you said, under the cardboard, nothing you could have done before opening it...

 

[Wreck]

Yeah .... which is why anyone who owns a book of eli steelbook (canada) needs to cut a slit in the plastic (if keeping it sealed) and pull back the cardboard paper a bit because they put security tag that mashes right up against the steel. You dont see this happen often anymore because I complained about it. However, it can leave a nice dent impression over time. I've had it happen, so I documented it fully and passed it on to the powers that be.

slightly off-topic but figured I'd bring it up with the discussion about scratches underneath the wrapping etc.

*Opens BOE*

 

[Wreck]

I dont have mine open, but I cut a slit ... maybe I should take a pic.

 

[biscuitnoir]

Damn, I've just sent 2 copies to hidefninja members!

 

[Wreck]

First pic is an impression dent, caused by a security tag. 2nd and 3rd pic is precaution I took so it wouldn't happen on my precious Book of Eli's. (One of my fav movies ...)

I cut a slit in plastic then pulled out the cardboard a bit so the tag is no longer resting hard/mashed up against the case.

 

[Wreck]

Damn, I've just sent 2 copies to hidefninja members!

Well, thats just a chance they got to take with a sealed copy. Not everyone is an anal freak like me who figured it out. Granted, I did not get a dented BOE, I just take this precaution on all steels with a security tag placed like that to avoid. The first pic is of Terminator Salvation Ironpack .... That was a sealed PERFECT copy that I opened and saw that. So Jimmy, even if you buy a sealed Term Sal IronPack ... you're gonna have that dent. Open sounds better to me cause it can be in perfect condition. (regarding Term. Sal)

ps. that impression dent looks nice in the pic ... its not near as nice in person and very noticeable!

 

[biscuitnoir]

I'm gonna have to check that, I'm supposed to get some more copies of Book of Eli.

 

[Wreck]

There are some other steels like this, I forget which tho ... any with the security tag under the cardboard overlay. This is why I don't mind them INSIDE the case.

 

[blu-steel]

Another reason to keep them sealed.

Wreck, it would be nice to have a list of the steels with this "configuration" which sounds completely boneheaded to me. Definitely better to have the tag inside the case than on any part of the outside. Thanks for sharing this.

I still don't get it... buy a movie and not watch the movie??? Are you even aware Chip that there are actual movies inside those fabulous collectibles??

 

[walted]
