Inglourious Basterds (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Collector's Edition) [Italy]
- Thread starter IRON MAN
- Start date
It’s just this version. The other is exclusive to the U.K. along with the one click box. Check out the circle in the top right of the U.K. beauty shot. It says It’s for U.K. and Italy on that image only
UK delivery address in regards to Amazon EU websites you need to wait until after release date to see as available sometimes will be available just before release date
The only way at the moment in regards to pre orders and not have this issue is to have a EU delivery address or use a company that provides a virtual address of that country and then ships to you
Some releases are also local restricted and only delivered to customers from that country
Example some pre orders customers in Germany only can pre order from Amazon Germany
The same applies you need to wait until just before or after release date if will be available for delivery to another EU country or UK
Amazon have various warehouses in EU and UK they often won't know which warehouse will receive the stock from other EU countries until closer to release date or after
That is when they can list as available to order
This also been an issue for customers in Rep of Ireland with Amazon UK and other Amazon EU websites on some products
That problem will be solved when Amazon New Fulfilment warehouse based in Ireland start to operate in Spring 2022
As most stock will be shipped from Ireland warehouse direct to customers in Rep of Ireland and Northern Ireland and EU countries in Europe and will bypass brexit issues completely it may take some time for all products to be listed so customers based in Ireland don't expect all products be listed at launch in 2022
As in customers in Ireland and EU won't need to use Amazon UK this will make a huge difference especially in regards to electronic items like TV's etc as in no custums import duty as it will be a item sold from Ireland
It also means third party marketplace sellers in Ireland and EU countries can use Amazon Ireland to sell their products to EU customers as these will be items fulfilled by Amazon Ireland
Ah I was not aware of that, thanks for the info. This explains why the prices suddenly went up at Zavvi this summer.
Still, these prices make Zavvi an unattractive choice when something is also available inside the EU. Which is quite a shame imo, because, in contrast to all the sh!t Zavvi is getting here, I was always happy with my purchases, pretty much the only retailer that has always delivered mint steelbooks shipped in sturdy cardboard...
Orderd it too. But had too often, that Steelbooks via Amazon are scratched, or got other damages.
I hope they handle more with care.

It´ s a rigid slipcase, so the chance is good it comes undamaged, And it´s thick, so Amazon will not use the small letters for shipping.
The above, I think, is just browser translation...when I order from some of the Amazon EU sites and Chrome translates to English, it does this and changes the EU sites to UK. I think if you stop the translation and see the page in original language, you will not see UK.
Still in stock.
According to Zavvi's description (shared run): "Engraved Rifle (deboss) SteelBook".
thanks, but it's showing:
Currently not available.
We are working on restocking stocks as soon as possible.

Reason why you see as unavailable is you are based in UK
Customers based in EU and some other countries will see as available to order
Are you using a freight forwarding address from the UK? That would be why, see earlier posts.
@paulboland He's not based in the UK.
What country Real Steel based in if it's Singapore it's showing as available to order
Seems to be exactly the same one with different back-art (but without the additional text and swastika and the movie-name was moved a little higher). Was the canadian one with matte or glossy finish?
thanks @paulboland @IRON MAN
ah yes, i was using uk forwarding address. have managed to change to italy address and ordered a copy. wanted to ship direct to singapore but the net extra cost (shipping-vat) is more than €33.
i'm concerned though of the slipbox getting dented and i would need to ship back at my own cost (US$27) without guarantee of a mint replacement. amazon doesn't bubble wrap so it's very rare to receive items in mint condition. wonder if there's any solution.

i would need to check my copy but it's a bit hard to dig out from storage at the moment. i remember vaguely it's semi-gloss at least. i like the engraving.
We don't know the rear art yet, unless I've missed it... the art to the right hand side is of the booklet, not the steelbook. I expect it'll have the same rear as the Canadian release, hopefully with different inside art though (as it's the same as the slip). The Canadian steel was spot gloss, hopefully this one is too.
johnnythm who works for Universal said previously in Zavvi thread the inside artwork different to Canada release
