Kong: Skull Island (3D+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (HMV Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter steelbookz4eva
- Start date
I think you meant July 24th 2017
It was listed originally as July 17th
they must have changed the date
That is a horrible 3D logo, was going to get this, but think i will just buy the 4K instead.
thn you'll get an horrible 4K logo
As the banner, not all over the artwork. I dont know, ill judge it in store when its released.
Money saved. That steel design is horrible and is bound to be flat!
Hoping for a WEA - looking at you Manta!

Everything about this Steelbook is abysmal. Passing this altogether. Might buy when the price drops like Godzilla HMV.
I recommend preordering from HMV's site from now on, Their last few exclusive steels have been out of stock or only 1 in stock in my local store, seems their steels really are limited.
Or it could be that most do pre order online causing less stock in stores
Loved this film but the art and finish is bad. Hope to pick this up cheap (from any country) or a premium retailer gives it justice in the future
It is a very poor steelbook to be honest, i usually do review videos for steels but im not going to bother with this one.
I wanted a steel of this to go with my other king kong and godzilla steels. I just hope they dont F**k up the Wonder Woman steelbook with a massive 3D logo, Suicide squad was a nice steel.

HMV also allocate stock to their individual stores on a sales basis too, the smaller shops or shops with less sales on certain items like steels will get less stock than a London store for example.
Not saying woes local is like that or yours is because it could just be people in woes area are steel lovers or a big fan of the film causing his to have less but it's still something to think about
It's so tricky to tell with HMV (but you can always ask them how much stock they got if they only have 1 on the shelf - they will tell you too)
I got there at 10am, an hour after opening, i cant imagine Kong being sought after due to cruddy art, but there was only 1 copy of the steel and 1 copy of the 4K. With the Logan steelbook it was sold out in an hour so im guessing they are only getting 4-5 copies of each steel now, and the Logan 4K wasnt and still isnt out on display, they are in a draw behind the counter which you cant see.
I think my Local HMV's staff are just lazy and have no idea what they are doing lol
HMV no longer have store security since they were taken over so if your store has a high theft rate then they will keep most behind the counter. Blu ray box sets and steels are hot items to steel from their stores. It's a really big issue. And the staff are not allowed to stop the thieves either!
But not every store will get just 5 copies. I've worked in 2 now and one was in a very big shopping centre. Very busy store and they literally used to get about 50 of each steel whereas the smaller shop i worked in was around 5-8 copies of each.
This was all before online too so the shop that got 50 would most likely get 20(ish) nowadays and the smaller one will probably stick to 4 or 5 and again back to your previous comment it depends on online sales - if it's not selling well then the stores get more
But yeah some staff are clueless and lazy - not all but some are
