I'm assuming mine is coming via Herpes, so I still have a shot of receiving mine today

 

[bigfub]

Mine just arrived so have hope in Herpes yet

From the pics it looks lovely. Not the best I've seen this year, but a million miles from some of the crap they've been churning out in other countries recently. So I will be happy when it turns up at my door !

Yes! Think we're a bit spoiled in the UK at the moment. This is a really nice steel imo.

Oh, without a doubt! It's tons better than a lot of steelbooks we've seen lately, and Play have definitely outdone themselves again, but it's hard not to compare it to their other exclusives... which in some cases this is better, and other cases it's not as good. Plus it obviously goes down to personal taste too. I'm glad I picked it up anyway, and I look forward to watching the film for the first time later.

 

[bobafettish66]

think it looks nice enough. Neon signs stand out well enough.

but both mine came damaged, cant be assed to go through the process of repeatedly sending steels back in trying to get a good condition one. I'll watch the film then get 'em refunded.

 

[Real Steel]

Matt is ok. But what a waste the neon lights are not shiny. But still it's a beauty.

Btw it is back on Play.com site.

 

[BenSV650]

I'm still really excited about getting this. Hopefully it will turn up at some point today.

Has the quality control been better than Battle Royale so far?

Yeah, I think we have been spoiled with choice here in the UK

I just had it turn up and I have to say I am pleased with my purchase! When it catches the light right it does shine nicely.

Noodles - I can't believe you haven't seen this yet. It's an awesome film!!

 

[Twizted328i]

No flaws on either of my copies so looking good so far

 

[SimonLDT]

The artcard looks awesome! Very nice touch to add that, especially since the art on both sides is from 2 important and iconic scenes from the film!!

Glad to hear that! I like steels that shine this way, much like the Underworld Awakening. Thx

 

[sunnyx]

Still no sign of this either, looks like it will be coming on Monday.

Mine were apparently dispatched by play on Tuesday , herpes website says "order generated Wednesday" and nothing since then.
Phoned Play who phoned Herpes who have no idea where it is as it should have gone through the hub by Friday.
Looks like they have lost it ( ie: stolen it) . Have been told by Play to phone them again on Monday and they will register it as lost if it doesn't turn up - not likely to turn up if the one and only log entry on Herpes site is "order generated Wednesday"

Herpes flicked my 2 James bond boxsets. Got a refund from HMV after chasing them for nearly a month.

 

[SYKES]

Just got mine this morning, its a beauty. Love the artwork front, back and inside. Maybe a bit of embossing/debossing on the title would have been great but still a great looking steel.

How do you track it on Herpes ? i looked at my play order today, but couldnt see a way to track it

Thanks Ross

Mine turned up about an hour ago. Very nice steelbook, maybe just lacking a bit of wow factor. Pretty glam though when compared to the very drab and disappointing TDKR.

Mine say's the same, I'll cry if mine are lost :tear:
