My local seemed to have loads of all 4 of these so i can't see them selling out fast, they are far too expensive for 8. Even with the deal they had
 
^ Same discs and steelbooks as collection for GERMANY . . . only difference being individual titles under main Harry Potter print are in German (for example - HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE becomes HARRY POTTER UND DER STEIN DER WEISEN).
Perversely the box appears to have English print on it unlike the steelbooks themselves (WTF) and the book appears to be printed in English (WTF again).
So, with English language box, the logical question remains "Why no boxed set for the U.K. collector?" :cry::banghead:EEK!

Naturally would like to buy the collection as I only own one HP steelbook - and that was bought way back in 2011 - but I'm waiting, maybe in vain, for HMV to do a retro add-on and sell them BOXED in the way that the collection is presented and sold in Germany and in Canada, at the time of writing, or even something like Zoom is offering with the STAR TREK I - X collection here in the U.K.

GERMANY - AMAZON.DE EXCLUSIVE

CANADA - BEST BUY.CA EXCLUSIVE

With Christmas coming surely an ideal opportunity for HMV to approach the right people with the BOXED SET suggestion . . . or do I have to wait until the Exclusivity has ended ?
 
They are going to wait for enough people to have bought the individuals then realise the box set as Zavvi did with breaking bad

Maybe they are holding back the box sets just for Christmas.

It's quite possible.
 
GBP 120 for the collection at HMV is still a bit of an "Ouch!" as most of us must have the complete collection in one form or another at least once or twice already.
Same steels of course out of the box but I for one would find the box - plus the other goodies found in the German set - the proverbial icing on the cake.
 
The Italian versions are available on a 2 for 1 deal on amazon.it. works out at less than £10 per steelbook including delivery. Identical to the UK, but with Italian Jcard, obviously.
 
Just a heads up, I received my set from amazon.it today and 3 of the 8 steels were damaged. I'll let you guess which three (this is exactly how they arrived):

They already sent replacements, but still, I have no idea why they double boxed only some of them.

Ohhh dear. Least you're getting replacements. I've got 4 on the way, hopefully in good nick.

5 of my 8 initial ones were damaged, but they replaced some. I wasn't able to get HBP due to an issue with them selling it. So now I'm using this code to try and finally get a mint full set :D

That isn't reassuring to hear, especially considering my order of all 8 HP movies from amazon.it arrive tomorrow. Gotta hope for the best now!
 
My Neon Demon arrived from amazon Germany in just one of those paper envelopes above. A miracle it didn't get mangled!

German site is usually solid with packaging. Don't know what's going on with Amazon at the moment.

I received mine packed in the same way. Fortunately, in perfect condition.
