I'm gambling with Sainsbury's... had a few off them and all turned up ok.

 

[VRob98]

Any chance of more being in stock closer to the release date on Amazon?

It's possible but I wouldn't count on it.

The difference between this and Skyfall is that Skyfall is exclusive to Amazon whereas the total print run of LOP is shared between several retailers. The fact that this sold out some time ago and that they still haven't been able to offer it for sale again, suggests that all remaining allocation has been taken up by Zavvi & Sainsburys.

It's worth keeping on eye on Amazon's listing for it to see if it does show up again, but if Zavvi come up with better steelbook packaging then it might be best to reserve a copy with them, just in case?

I'm ordering for sainsbury's for the first time. So fingers crossed it is delivered ok!

there packaging isn't the best but there customer service is quite good

 

[denizen]

Yea, I cancelled my order from Zavvi for the sheer fear of the past. When I get confirmation from others saying that they have witnessed improved packaging, then Ill bite.

 

[The Guvnor]

I too missed this one at Amazon, didn't think it would sell out within 3 days. So instead I have placed an order with Sainsbury's, but am hoping that Amazon get some more in stock

I'll keep an eye out. I'm in Canada so I'm hoping for the Amazon listing as those are always the best prices for us when it comes to VAT being taken off and shipping.

Amazon have updated the artwork for this. Looks like it'll will be getting a cardboard slip of sorts like Skyfall did:

 

[VRob98]

Looks really nice. I'm glad UK releases have started using 'continued art' designs for slips. You only ever used to see them on Asian releases. I think with the lenticular and that colourful slip, this could actually be the prettiest version out there.

 

[cityguyste]

Ill be keeping this on order now I want a copy to watch. Ill open this one and keep my KR and TW sealed

 

[lgans316]

Canceled my order with amazon and pre-ordered at tesco for 19 after quidco cashback. The UK slip certainly looks better than the Korean slip but looks like it won't have the lenticular card.

 

[Starling]

It certainly beats the Korean version but Taiwain's is in a different league.

Yes but double the price, of course you get some Goodies. Pricing makes a big difference.

19 GBP Vs. 40 GBP.

 

[SteelbookedUp]

So why doesn't this come with lenticular front when other versions do?

Not sure whether to order this now or wait until after release.

I don't see why it won't

 

[SteelbookedUp]

I don't see why it won't

The updated images from Amazon suggest that it doesn't with just the slip.

Nothing in description to suggest it will either.

Hoping I'm wrong of course.

It looks the same as before to me but with a slip, it still has the vertical lines to suggest a lenticular effect

 

[Sinthetic]

Image 2 on Amazon shows pretty clearly that it's a 1/4 Slip and Lenticular is still there.

 

[Man of Steel]

I can still see the lenticular there! Only thing's thats been added is the slip.

 

[earthscope]

Nice touch how the artwork carrys over onto the slip, but those ugly PG Logos should be moved to the back keeping the front image clean.
