Not yet, I'm wondering how they are going to package it?

Could just send them in cardboard like they did if you bought one of those cars 2 blu rays when you had to send off for the DVD

So I am interested in this steel! My only question is since this whole recall issue took them all off the shelf, once they float back into stores these will be again brought back as a steelbook? OR, is it that whoever purchased the steels already get the replacement disc?

Sorry all I'm just confuesed! Thanks

 

[Scottyrnumber]

Mine still hasn't arrived yet. Do u think there holding it back and il get the new disc inside the steelbook??

they took them off the shelf so they could be repackaged with the new disc and yes they will be selling the steelbook again, anyone that bought this will get a replacement disc

Got ya! Thanks. So I dont need to pay ridiculous re-seller prices for this knowing it will come back in stock soon!

I enjoyed the film period

 

[charles04245]

Finally watched this with the wife and I definitely loved it! I felt the ending was a little rushed but the film was so original! Now I need the steel!

strangely enough, my copy of the hunger games froze in 2 places. this is also a lionsgate release.
luckily, i got a replacement copy.
hopefully, there isn't a pattern emerging with faulty releases from lionsgate, although i have not had this problem with any other blu rays.

My Futureshop 'District 12' Hunger Games also keeps skipping in one part for me. Just after the games begin and she climbs into a tree for the first night. It skips to about 3 mins later everytime.

I know I'm missing the scene where her partner teams up with the other gang.

It's amazing how things become more desiarable when they are harder to obtain.

I was just about to buy this when it got pulled. At time I was thinking, meh, I'll get round to ordering it later. Now I find my self obsessivly looking at this thread everytime there's a post

Lol, that's very true Malky!

The chase is better than the catch...

 

[Malky78]

and here I am again

I suspect I'll pick this up in store when it's released back into the wild. I don't fancy getting some manhandled re-wrap from HMV online

 

[cyberef]

I got this today, all mint! I'm always a bit anxious about opening packages from HMV!

Now I will just have to wait for the replacement discs from HMV.

 

[slayerdaniel]

not really happy with my copy...got some little scratches on the back, and a little dent on top also fingerprints were on the on Disc and my j-card wasnt fixed with a sticker.
This isn´t normal??!

 

[snooloui]

I don't think there was any glue or tape on the J-card this time which was actually a really good thing. Nothing more annoying than sticky residue spoiling that lovely artwork.

 

[STEELBOOKJUNKIE]

Not very keen on having an opened and resealed copy of this, would feel second hand. Really want this though, wish I hadnt cancelled now

 

[Grifter2099]

Got mine today
shoddy box .. but my steel was undamaged .
havent checked it yet but hmv said my delivery would be delayed .. i may have the new disc ..

 

[watchtower41]

Anyone from U.S. still waiting on their copy, mine said it dispatched on 9/20, but still patiently waiting here, not like I can watch it right away anyways, but steels definitely seem like they are taking a bit longer to arrive stateside from UK recently.

 

[mattyj]

is it going back up for sale on hmv?
