This means the parcel has been forwarded to the freight company at the Incheon International airport, and being processed for flight

Is this bad?

Mine says this too!

15:02 08-Mar-2013 Handed over to Air carrier INCHEON

Not normal AirMail. Something like International Signed-for where package has to be scanned and tracked in destination country but lazy Royal Mail hardly does that but keep jacking up the price.

Cool.. It was all in Korean so I had no idea what it said!!

 

[domalorite]

Both tracked airmail and EMS have this status. The status might stay like that for up to a week. The freight company may just take longer to actually put the item on a plane and reach the destination.

Lol no, why would it be bad? It just means it's being shipped regular airmail and is being flown from Incheon airport.

Just wanted to know if others got their steelbook and noticed a defect on the opening side.

Yeah like to know the defect since I have 1 copy on the way.

 

[earthscope]

There delivering mine on Monday so I would also like to see what it is.

This IMO is the best version of this steelbook from the front view. I love how the black brings out the dark areas. You can see the defect scratch.

IMO that is the best place to have a defect.

I assume you ordered more than 1 copy...so was the scratch in evey steelbook in the same exact location?

Yes.

I cant complain though. No other issues what so ever. No holes in shrinkwrap or anything, so I guess I can live with it. I think only OCD people would have a gripe. Maybe not though as its not the area on the steel that people look at to begin with anyway.

My order of importance:
Front
Spine
Back

If it is there on every Steelbook then it is manufacturing related. Not a problem for me unless it is something serious.

Pretty much the way I look at it. Nothing can be done. They are OOS and gone for ever.

 

[lgans316]

Exactly but thank goodness it isn't easily noticeable as it looks to be on a odd spot. QC on Steelbooks have gone down the drain in the past 6~12 months.

Thanks for the pictures Chip. I can live with that, and like you said they are OOS Now !!!

I can also live with that. Actually I will try to source an extra copy just in case. This is steel is gold mate, my fav Skyfall so far.

 

[earthscope]

Yeah have to admit loving the Black & Gold on the slip, really pops !! Looking forward to having this bad boy sitting next to my TW copy.
Next up JP !!!

I like the slip a little better than when I first saw it, but the Taiwan version still wins IMO - far more distinctive and classier. What lets this slip down is that ugly yellow rating circle, which fouls up the black/white/gold scheme.

Pity about the manufacturing defect. Just as they seem to have sorted out that flimsy shrink wrap that separates on the opening side, we get scratched cases instead. Seems like the Skyfall steelbook has a curse over it!
