So tempted as I really like the steelbook, but just didn't enjoy the film enough to spend that much on it. Never mind.

Surprisingly still available - from the "135" - at the time of writing.
Either HMV is doing what another retailer does - being occasionally economical with the truth - or the interest in this steelbook has been pumped up.

(Still surprised THE ACCOUNTANT sold out - not so surprised about SUICIDE SQUAD - both of which I missed out on despite having received several of those in-stock notifications for each one when they came back in stock. Not using a mobile device and relying on logging on to see the alerts is proving fruitless as not managed to snag either yet. Pity that my "local" HMV is now miles away so not really an option).

No economy with the truth. You can see how many are in stock by editing the quantity in your basket. There's currently 86 left.

I think they are stocking the ones from their stores after realising there is some demand for this online. As always it is unpredictable with HMV.

Well, considering people have reported there were none in their local, it could quite well be the last batch.

This is true

If the demand is more online they will source copies from other stores to stick online and vice versa

I mentioned a few times that my local had all copies of both the lenti Spider-Man's for like 5 months (they didn't sell 1 copy in 5 months and had 6 or 7 of each) and literally a month ago all had disappeared, I asked my old boss why and he said because they weren't selling in that branch and went to another branch that had higher demand for them

Same thing happened with hateful eight, it was selling out in seconds but every night around 1am they would stock more online. Basically they were pulling them from stores with lower sales until they all went.
Looks like the same is happening here

My local HMV doesn't appear to have any restock for sought limited titles. They have about 5-10 copies and that's it. You go back next week all gone

I picked this up on Saturday, which left my local with 10, popped in today and only 6 left now. It's nice steelbook so I'm glad I grabbed it in the end.

Less than 50 left on HMVs site now

Don't mind the HMV as it's an elegant steelbook but for those not keen there appears to be only one other option at the time of writing - new pics posted recently on the Blufans site - which, though "busy", at least utilises original poster design elements and has what looks like a lovely full gloss finish and a beautifully embossed silver title treatment.

The MANTALAB edition could be another possible WEA option and votes are being counted at the time of writing regarding the four possible artwork options available for the front.
