Really want this but the no release date worries me. Literally so many of these more expensive sets coming out from august onwards. I’d need to know dates to plan ahead

 

[Daubt]

Really want this too, but cards and more cards and no booklet ain't scratching the itch.

Ah what a downer. Still looks like a nice package but I wish the steelbook kept the repeated art from the original mock up

 

[1.21gigawatts]

Looks great apart from the steelbook

 

[sbarker]

Another one with the art shoved down to accomodate a j card? What the hell.

Another one with the art shoved down to accomodate a j card? What the hell.

Also really bugs me when they do that! It's as if they keep finding new ways to p*ss collectors off

 

[jaws finatic]

Love the entire set, but that steel??? In the name of creation and everything that is holy and pure, why???

 

[Gandolf]

Not a fan on the SteelBook art could’ve been so much better

At least we were spared the dire artwork on say The Fugitive or Lawrence of Arabia.....

Yes. That would have been much, much worse. I did pull the trigger on this last night because the overall purchase was worth it to me. The steel? Maybe I'll warm to it. It is, after all, a 'Blazing Saddle'. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk

Release date pushed back to 18th November.

Dispatched from HMV.

 

[Daubt]

Zavvi too.

 

[Ashcroft]

Cancelled my preorder. All that poster art to choose from, and that's what they put on the steelbook? This isn't worth £30 never mind £45

 

[jaws finatic]

AmazonUK still has not dispatched, but it states: Arriving December 2. Not sure if that means I should count on it around that time or if they think they'll have it to ship by that time. Heading to Florida before too long so I hope this isn't just another worry.
