I’ve just had an update from ZavviCS on Twitter to say “They are in talks with their supplier” so it would seem the cogs are still turning on this one. Patience young Skywalker...

They have been saying that for weeks

 

[BDDB]

So much crap to scroll through to see if there is a valid update here.
Does remember when we used to have a section for Retailers.

 

[DMD4k]

That section still exists.

Steelbook Retailer Zone

A place to discuss specific retailers, and their policies and updates.

Actually they previously said they were waiting for an update from their warehouse, waiting to hear from their supplier is definitely a movement.... just not sure in which direction

Zavvi's estimated search grid...MIght be a while

 

[Flloydo]

Wouldn’t there be just as much crap to scroll through in the retailer thread if we had to speak about this release in that thread instead of this?!?!?

I’m good with checking here thanks

Well another day and my copy didn’t show

I find it unbelievable that despite requesting a full or partial refund I'm still waiting around for them to 'investigate'. What has that got to do with me? If this was a £1000 item people wouldn't be so quick to let it go.

You don't think those horizontal scratched on ESB are worthy of investigation?
With up to 3,500 steelbooks involved you expect what exactly from Zavvi at this moment in time?

Goddamn!
Not only did I get to pay custom duties, but then I also found this ugly dent upon unpacking!

Oh Wow! Looks like yours included an O-ring.

It's the halo of St. Vader.

The partial refund I requested. You are aware that they have been handing out various amounts, including full refunds to some customers aren't you? You speak as if everyone is waiting and zavvi are going about this in a particular, intelligent way. By the looks of it they have no real idea of what they're doing and decisions seem to be dependant upon who reads an email.... as usual.

My dent is in the same place but on the back..... could yours be the ying to my yang????

Ah, so that's where it went:-

No they have been saying that for weeks.

And waffle waffle waffle and Virkia still not hiding his four hundred pics

 

[R4FFO]

before they have sorted this fiasco out we will have received all of the rest of the Star Wars Steelbooks.

I am looking at cancelling the rest of my orders as so far the quality of the Steelbooks that I have received to date are less than impressive

 

[JGCramp]

Finally received my copy today. I haven't opened it but it does appear dent free. Like many of you there does appear to be several long and really visible scuffs going across the entire front.

One thing interesting I notice is that where the biggest scuff is on the front of the steelbook there is an identical scuff extending across the entire factory seal.

Have we all forgot about Scratchgate yet so Zavvi can sweep it under the rug?

Hell no. I got a dent in mine too so I won’t be letting this one go.
