End Of Watch (Blu-ray SteelBook) [United Kingdom]
- Thread starter Monkey2005
- Start date
Very true....but for some reason they sent my "Seven" steelbook in a normal cardboard envelope?! No damage though...
No complaints with amazon, 1 out of god know how many isn't bad... Keep it up!
Got mine from Zavvi today. Horrible A1 card envelope (like the old Amazon ones) BUT delivered by Hermes !! Didn't know they were doing that. Had the email on Friday so that's not an unreasonable timescale.
Mine arrived in the suspended large card box as well, I was very impressed. Mint copy to bootwell done Amazon
mine also arrived from Amazon in mint condition. Amazon every time over Sainsburys/Zavvi for me.
Received mine today from Amazon - has two dents on the back, scratches and paint chips on the back and front as well 
If this keeps happening on the next few releases then ill have to seriously consider stopping collecting them as im getting bored of this game of constantly returning items and ordering replacements due to terrible quality control. I cant get excited about steelbooks anymore, as each time a new one arrives my first thought it what is going to be wrong with this one

So there seems to be issues with this one from all retailers..judging by the photos, the finish looks shockingly crap. Might return mine for the amaray when it arrives.

+1 The hayday of collecting steelbooks has long gone...personally for me, steelbooks peaked during the days of 'The Green Hornet', 'Thor' and 'Captain America' (all UK)...

I preordered it and got the same 'sorry' email. I will never use Zavvi again after this- nothing but problems with them.
As far as packaging goes Amazon is certainly one of the best so it's more than likely that if anyone receives one with light scratches or paint chips that it was under the j card / wrapping & not really the fault of the retailer.
On the other hand the ones I've seen damaged from Sainsburys is purely down the lousy packaging they use & thus their fault.
Seems to be the standard nowadays. As retailers are improving packaging, the manufacturers are getting sloppier in regard to quality control.
Seems most scratches are in the same place on many peoples steelbook - what "person" (avoided a naughty word so i dont get told of....) is employed to undertake quality control on these products? Surely if they all have chips in the same place there is a problem
yep my replacement has two rather large paint chips on the back at top right side and a scratch on the spine near the bottom, not the normal slash mark though but I'l keep it as I like the movie, the QC on steels are really bad these days its almost impossible to get even a near mint one.
Surprised to say mine arrived in perfect condition... no chips/scratches or anything. Thank god for Amazon's great packaging though, as it looked like the postman had tried to squash it through the letterbox, then gave up and just left it on my doorstep.
