Gally Base reckons the release date could be in 2020, which to me, doesn't make sense to start preorder now.
Yes, the official teaser gives the release date as 2020 too:

Zoom no longer accepting the SIGNUP10 code if you have already used it before (which I have on countless orders, tbh, so I guess it was about time they started to limit its use!).

In which case, I will probably pre-order from Amazon, as they are likely to price-match by release date (as they did with Macra Terror).

Amazon price now showing as £28.99 as well, matching Zavvi and Zoom. So will keep the Amazon order for now unless there are any further price drops anywhere between now and release date...
 
Mine just arrived in the US from Amazon UK. Thin cardboard envelope. Dented steelbook. Now out of stock at Amazon, so no replacement. Out of stock at Zavvi, so can't get one there. :(

It's currently back in stock at Amazon UK.

It may be they Amazon UK are not shipping to the US in the current climate? ;)

That seems to be the case across the board. USA aren't shipping to the UK and Europe and vis versa. But they make it clear that situation may change. They are honouring pre-orders that were done before the crisis started but that's it.
 
Ohh, I see. That makes sense. The page now includes this line: Currently unavailable for delivery to your region due to high demand. We are working to resume delivery as soon as possible. It's more confusing than if they just said "Item does not ship to the US currently," but I understand now.

What is even more confusing is that they use exactly that wording - "This item does not ship to <your country>" - after you have triggered some (unknown) limit of damaged product replacement requests during some (unknown) period of time.

I've been there once, as I never accept damaged steelbooks. For ca. a month, all Amazon sites (except Amazon JP) displayed me that note for every item "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon" :LOL:

It was easy to verify that the same items would ship perfectly fine to my country when using another account, they just wouldn't ship to me :wtf: I would've appreciated if they would've simply said that instead of a completely bogus reason :facepalm:

This is ironical, as Amazon nowadays regularly uses such poor packaging for steelbooks - bubble envelopes by Amazon US and thin cardboard envelopes by European Amazon sites - that the items often arrive damaged.

Other members have reported this happening, too.
