Agreed because except for few people no one knows what Steelbooks are but the excel store in eBay is pretty darn good as they sent me a replacement copy and came in person to pick up the damaged Steelbook as the company had a branch operating in my hometown. This may sound weird to people living in developed countries but this is 100% the truth.

I can second that. When I ordered avatar from them. I had received steelbook with spine cracked. They sent a guy from their office to personally collect the damaged steelbook. I too was surprised. I asked the guy how come you personally come for pick up, and he told that He was working at local excel branch, so He got instruction to pick this up. And indeed I was not the only one, he was gonna visit some another customer too who had received some wrong item.
Moreover their follow up in entire situation was lighting fast. So finally I received another copy, perfect in condition. And I left a nice feedback denoting "you just earned one permanent customer".

Excel steel I recd earlier in the week was pretty much perfect in all respects. This (and Terminator) had battered shrink wraps. I know that calling up the retailer isn't going to be of much help as they will not understand the fuss about shrink wrap at all, so not going to bother.
The steels themselves are pristine from what I can tell, so I ain't unhappy, but for anyone outside looking for an Indian steelbook, this is bad news if they don't intend to open them. I'm hoping that the new releases (Life of Pi and Hobbit) won't have the shrink wrap problem seeing as these will be 'new', but who knows!? :eek:

Pics of the other copy I received earlier this week. It looks good!

What is the print run on this.. Was it 800?

This Indian one looks better than my play.com edition. Might consider this.

You mean with the stickers as the steelbooks are identical.

No clue mate. Since this would more likely than not have been a shared print run, I'd guess the Indian version wouldn't have been produced in very large quantities..

Can anyone tell how to find the excel store in eBay ?
I can't find it.
Thanks

ebay.in but they don't ship outside India.

Here's the link for excel home entertainment's eBay store : http://myworld.ebay.in/movies-and-more-store/?_trksid=p4340.l2559

They only ship within India. But one can always ask about international shipping to them.
Only Blu-ray store shipping internationally is rhythmhouse IMO. There also, most of the steelbook titles are out of stock. Check them out for more info.

Whilst you are right about the image, the actual print quality on this steel is superb.. It also feels weighty too

I own 12 copies of this steel and I feel the Asian releases are of far superior quality.

The French and German versions also have different images and the Aus Viva feels different too.

Each to their own tho.. I know I'm mental lol

Impossible as they are all the same. TW / KR with the booklet should of course weigh more.

 

[Chandler_90]

Just telling you how I feel it is.. I can weigh them if required

The print quality is very noticeable, the identical Euro copies.. UK, Sweden, Norway etc are of the same print quality but the TW, KR, TH and IND are of noticeably better print quality.

I understand what you are saying about the images being identical but I think the build and print quality differs!

Very nice
