Been quite fortunate in helping a few fellow ninjas with this title but it is now getting harder and harder to find this and Ive now been to few stores across London. Sealed is pot luck and now almost impossible.

It's rare now.. I'm heading into town to see if I can pick any up. Need 5.. Wish me luck lol

That's great news for Irish collectors. I won't make it to a HMV till Sunday though. Was there many in stock? Were they sealed or polybagged?

Only 5 copies in my local HMV today. All poly bagged I'm afraid. But at least they restocked them.

Do you mind telling me what store you picked this up in? I rang around loads of stores earlier hoping they would put one on hold for me and the staff were again pretty much useless.

HMV Galway.

You're better off calling into the stores yourself though rather than ringing. Half the staff don't even know what a Steelbook IS and couldn't be arsed getting off the phone to check for you!

Sad but true!

Couldn't agree more I'll drop in tomorrow and check it out, thanks for the info.

just opened my copy to put the replacement disc inside, and theres a tiny ding on the front (not visable when it was sealed) and a small paint issue under the data sheet.
not happy. dont think i have much chance of finding a mint copy anywhere for a reasonable price now. grr.
might complain to hmv. had to wait near 3 weeks for a disc that works, and the case is damaged. bad show from hmv. again.

 

[liammurphy1985]

They appeared to have some sealed ones in HMV Guildford when I was there yesterday afternoon - I didn't realize the disc problem so didn't pick any up! Full price though, think it was £22. I may head back tomorrow morning and if there are any I'll pick them up and post here. I've found the staff at the tills tend to rip the plastic when they remove the security tags though...

 

[DADDYCOOL187]

My local HMV had quite a few of these but they weren't sealed. I can pop in there tomorrow to see if they have any sealed ones out back.

anyone in the USA get their replacement disc yet???

 

[digitalbabe]

Can't wait to get mine from friend

 

[nkb32]

This is turning out to be my first rare oop steelbook. Glad I liked the movie enough to purchase it

 

[lolwut]

Nope. Still no steelbook either. I emailed HMV twice and got an automated reply each time saying they'd email me back (never did). I'm going to have to call on Monday. Never doing business with HMV again, that's for sure. What a joke!

 

[tonybsg]

I received my replacement disc today

I watched this the other night after trying my best to avoid all spoilers and tv adverts Not an easy task.. then again I've become quite an expert at this since missing Avengers at the Cinema...

Anyway I thought it was alright for basically a pisstake on the genre! Enjoyed watching the extras as well on how they made it etc.

I ordered this since last 3 weeks as they've problem with the defect disc they sent an email noticed that the shipment would be delayed... 3 weeks past, today they email me that the Steelbook is out of print and they've to cancel my order... I'm pissing off right now...
