Hoping for mine to dispatch today from Amazon

 

[zesty]

Mine shipped Sunday and is expected Thursday!! Must be hand delivering it

Mine has arrived but i cant seem to upload the image. J card is glued to the back sighhhh. Also mine has like some sort of air bubble on the front which is causing me to be able to press the cover in and out. Mine is from zavvi btw

I have this same air pocket/bubble problem Is there a fix for this? Or should I try and find another copy?

 

[cooey]

Mine was dispatched over night

 

[RajLondon]

I'm hoping I get mine today

Bizarre, it went from sorry it's not expected until the end of the week to we're now despatching your steelbook.

It's because of the emboss/deboss. Pretty much all of the embossed/debossed steelbooks do the same thing, including the expensive ones.

it's been shipped from amazon.co.uk just now... theyre slower than usual with this order

 

[JHBlockbusterUK]

Thanks I did pop into HMV and checked all of their stock and they are all the same so I feel a lot better about it. Was thinking maybe a couple of books on top would fix it but I wont bother now to stop the possibility of damaging the embossing.

Jiffy bag. I've never had any dented steels from them mind. I'd probably go to HMV though

Just received mine from Sainburys and packaging is excellent. Looks like they have upgraded from a simple jiffy bag to a thick cardboard wrap around packaging.

I wouldn't do that! It's is the embossing/debossing that must cause a weakness in the steelbook. Cowboys and Aliens was the same, that had a weak spot where you could push it in and out, a lot of other steels have this issue too.

Mine was shipped yesterday (stanard delivery) and has arrived today. Have to wait until I get home to see what it looks like.

I got mine today from Sainsburys in perfect condition. Nice steelbook and I'm looking forward to finally watching this.

 

[hayemaker]

Picked this up today and I must admit I prefer the FS one in the flesh, even without the embossing.

I don't like the black border on this, I would have preferred a continuation of the red.

I'd be amazed if your dissapointed at the film.

 

[Frasr]

Got mine today from Amazon, but the side of the box was wide open and I'm absolutely amazed that it was still in the box and undamaged...

 

[Nick Nameless]

This looks so nice.

Anyone else notice how pin sharp the print is on this? On a lot of steelbooks when you look close you can see the DPI that make up the image and some really small details can get lost. Not on this one. Just look at the broken chain links on the Django silhouette and all the fine strands of grass on the bottom. Really impressed, seems a really high res image was used.

Such a shame that the metal used was little thicker than tin foil. Mine bends incredibly easily, probably the worst i've seen. Maybe it is worse because it is only a one disc edition. With a disc holder behind the front cover it may have felt a bit more sturdy. This was a missed opportunity, with thicker material and a glossy finish, it would've been superb. Don't get me wrong I still think it looks great, but it could've been so much better.
