Hope so my dude.

Mine was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Of course it wasn't.
Evri? More like Evri-Thing wrong.

I think the storm we had down South in the UK has botched up many deliveries.
Hopefully, it'll come today. But who knows.
Zavvi says it's out for delivery and Evri Tracking says it's in the depot.

As promised. More juicy packaging shots.

 

[JinxyKatte]

I'm opening it all now and taking photos. Mine actually has a tiny printing imperfection on the front. Think stuck pixel lol. I mean its very minor but still annoying.

Honestly I am slightly disappointed. While it is a really nice set and I am happy with it. Some of the quality doesn't seem on par with the Fifth Element. The collectors slip seems to have a really exposed fold om person the bottom. Several of the posters and booklets have folds in them which shouldn't be there. And I feel like the Multipass was a stand out item in the Fifth Element set and this just doesn't have a centerpiece item.

 

[TheWildEye]

It's arrived.
Overall it's pretty good. I do think the quality of the extras is somewhat cheap. Especially the printing of the art cards from the film stills.
Downright worthless. Blurry and cheap. The other stylised ones are generally okay but cheap cardboard.
Where's the glossy paper?

Once again the Slipcase is the winner. Really nice.
Steelbook is much much better in its colour reproduction and depth compared the The Fifth Element one. I like it way more.

Mine is the collectors edition.

Will wait for @JinxyKatte to post pics.

I'd like to get everyone's reaction to the Deluxe version because I do think the extras have been poor. Printing detail is atrocious.

Overall it's an okay package. I just wish we could get back to this quality slipcase and an even better steelbook for £50 instead of £60.

What is the obvious fold on the slipcase? I looking at it and can't seem to figure out what you mean.

The fold marks on the posters are there because its rubbish and the quality of the paper is poor.

I meant like folds in things that shouldn't have them. Like they were put in the box by someone who didn't give a ****.

The collectors box on mine, its the bottom where it is stuck down. It just looks off. Ill grab a photo later I put it all away now lol.

I still think Everything Blu have a little way to go before getting on the level of Manta, Nova, HD Zeta, WeET, BluFans et al.

I can't comment on their releases before the Zavvi deal, I don't own any. To anyone who does - is the quality on these three better or worse than those that came before Zavvi?

They have their own vibe - which is great - but I can't help thinking that with a touch better quality manufacturing and maybe less STUFF, focus on the detail, they'd get there pretty quickly.

I do like the slipcases they've had on these last three releases though.
(Oh, and the fact that someone made the excellent and intelligent decision to only use the minimum amount of glue on the J-Card! Bravo, give this person a raise. Mine only had one perfect tiny bit holding the card onto the case, all you need.)

Guess you have to give and take though. Can't please everyone all of the time. I'm just glad to have a company doing these type of releases locally, so I don't have to pay the same cost again for import and shipping.
Because I'm cheap. Though I do like expensive things.

I agree. They seem to go a little too much quantity and not quite nought quality. Although the slips are really nice. I feel the quality needs pushing up ever so slightly.

The actual box looks the best in my opinion. Thanks for sharing shame the artworks on the box, slip and steelbook looks almost the same becouse of the style and color. They should have switch things up a bit
