goy my replacement today. disappointed we all had to wait so long to finally get there......

 

[BluSteel2012]

Sorry if it has been posted already, but are these steelbooks still available?

At the moment, no. Nobody at my HMV can give me an answer if they are going to restock them at some point, so it's not looking too good. At least here in Ireland anyway

There aren't many in store either. I checked a huge store that still have 50+ hunger games and 30+ avengers, they had 5 cabin itw, and I bought 3 of them. The smaller store only had 2 left today.

Anyone in Europe (except the UK) got any replacement discs yet?

 

[spass]

I got my replacement disc yesterday but still no steelbook, did you email them or ring up to tell them it hadn't arrived as i emailed them and they are asking to sign a form etc so they can make a claim to royal mail, i am still not convinced they actually posted it even though i received a despatched confirmation email on the 24/09/12.

I did email them. Got emailed back the standard form, filled it out with a clear message that I wanted a replacement. Got a refound instead.

I'm totally not convinced they actually posted it either.

Anyone in the US received any steel at all yet?

yeah got mine like 1-2 weeks ago. Haven't gotten the replacement disc yet.

 

[alvinhwang21]

Well well... I got mine today. It was shipped on the 19th. No damage luckily. But 3 weeks is too long HMV.

Glad to hear that as I ordered mine on the same day. So hopefully il get mine soon. Did it come with the extra disc separate ??

 

[JimShakes]

Just got a sealed copy from HMV in Bristol - their last copy, does this mean my disc will be faulty? What exactly was the fault? Happy to have this though...

Nope no discs, so this was the initial package they sent out before they were aware of the disc error.

Here's a photo of my replacement disc and the jiffy it was sent in for those who are curious or yet to receive theirs.

TNT Delivery.

 

[leelee17]

finally got to watch this tonight. so f****D up it's great!!
blind buy for me. glad i picked it up!!

 

[dirtyoak]

I got mine today. Sealed. But the funny thing is I only got a dispatch email about a week ago and it was in regards to my replacement disc. I never got a dispatch mail before the problems with the discs came about. So I don't think I've gotten the replacment disc but at least I have a sealed copy of the steel.
I have the dutch edition with the ppop-up slipcover so I don't really need the replacement disc anyway.

Ah, but you guys got the steels with the faulty discs. I pre-ordered mine as soon as it went up but for some reason they didn't ship mine. I got the email last Monday saying they'd received the replacement discs and are in the process of shipping it to me. But what about the steelbook?

 

[BluBlazer]

Does anybody know if this is going back up online? Like I know the ones in the stores they were kept there and they replaced the discs in some places. But what happened to all the ones in the warehouse for online sale? Have they been repackaged or destroyed? The amaray version has been re-listed but there's no sign of the steelbook. Is there any info out there or is HMV just refusing to give their customers any information at all. I've tried on numbers occasions and no one seems to have a conclusive answer.

No one knows as of yet. I wonder if they will all be sold in store now due to the repackaging issue. It all depends on how many they have left I would imagine, if there isn't that many left they may just put them in stores.

Yeah it really sucks, I'm kinda on the fence with regards to whether or not to purchase this on a third party website as I don't have enough posts to trade with fellow ninja's. I really loved the movie and would hate to miss out on this one. I wish HMV would get there act together and start to communicate with their customers properly. Thanks for getting back to me though, much appreciated.
