John Wick (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Titans of Cult #21) (Amazon Exclusive) [USA]

Oh sure but now it's in the UK there's a few collectors who don't want to import stuff themselves so it's a viable option even if Amazon US has more stock.
So, just got my replacement. It was actually in a box as promised in the email after my wife complained. But...
They didn't put nearly enough padding in the box so it was free to move around. And the slip actually has more damage that the one that came in a bag. Go ******* figure.
However the first one I got had pretty minor damage to the slip, which I almost entirely managed to press out. In fact if it wasn't for the steelbook having a massive great scratch I don't think I would have actually complained.
Luckily the steelbook on the new one is fine so I have just swapped the steelbook from the second one and I'm keeping the first slip.
I actually find it infuriatingly hilarious that in spite of it actually coming in a box it still managed to get even more damaged somehow. Back when I used to work at amazon they actually had a 5 strike policy for new employees and if I had sent out a package like the one I got today that can rattle around, it would have been a strike, now they just don't give a ****.
Anyway, the condition of this is good enough I guess.

I recently got a box from Amazon US which surprised me as I'd only ordered two steelbooks so was expecting them to be crammed into their usual rubbish packaging but there was zero void fill so the contents were free to bounce around. I send a lot of packages and a good box is usually useless without decent void fill. Even if they had a strike system I'm not sure they're implementing it anymore as it seems to be happening a lot.
Best packaging I've gotten from a retailer recently was Zavvi, 4 steelbooks in a box and the rest of the box completely filled with void fill. If I were being critical there should have been a couple of CM clearance between the sides and contents but it was genuinely nice to see a company actually making an effort and spending the (literal) pennies extra to protect what I'd ordered.
When I first trained, you put an item in the middle of a box, and a ball of paper (we called it dunnage) on all 4 sides, and on top of the item. For the wrap around boxes (C1 etc) they had to be tight, loose flaps was a strike too. I used to train new employees and we used to get a full week with them. By the time I left it was 3 hours, so 1 morning. The rates kept going up and up and the standards went down and down.
Here's the official term for the problem. You could apply this to pretty much every facet of current human production, values and standards.
We're being unwittingly (or wittingly - you can argue both) devolved by the 1%ers and the world spanning conglomerates.
Pisses me right off.
Joy.
Titans of Cult threatening a new release for pre order tomorrow but maybe tonight midnight?

Who knows. Some may say who cares.
Some of you guys collecting these. Prepare.
(I can't begin threads due to severe uselessness so I've dumped it here)

People are speculating John Wick UK drop. And after having to import 2 of the things due to amazons **** packaging and 1st one the steelbook had a massive factory defect scratch. I **** you not if they drop John Wick in the UK now I'm boxing up my entire titans of cult collection, ******** in the box and sending it to their ******* office.

I really hope it will be The Dark Knight. We miss a steelbook for this movie.
I have the 3 WB ultimate collectors sets. I hope it's not.I really hope it will be The Dark Knight. We miss a steelbook for this movie.

Why would anyone masticate in a box, before sending it as a complaint to TOC offices? Very angry behavior
Hmm, perhaps that isn't the act after all. Such behavior can get you on specific lists you know.
Honestly if it is I'm officially done with Titans. I have defended them beyond all reason and if they would have given the slightest hint they were dropping it in the UK I wouldn't have bothered to import one.
Yeah I realised after I hit post but meh lol. I just left the gym ok lol.
Yeah I'm with you. My partner unbeknown to me ordered that in from US for Xmas present, paying extra taxes, shipping etc. The absolute legend.
However if they drop it in UK now after running off to the US market I'll be extra pissed, as opposed to had I myself bought it. Circumstantial I know but that's the risk they are taking when they desert UK only to come crying back to UK after many collectors (or collectors loved ones) paid extra to import JW.
I was literally thinking of selling off the plastic TOC collection at the weekend too, so I'm pretty nailed on doing that should JW be announced. I'll keep John Wick as it was a present but the rest is gone.
Need the space anyway they're largely sh*t steelbooks
Before listing I'll etch a "n" in place of "l" for each edition though. That way they will each be 1-of-1. Titans of Cu*t
