This steelbook and captain america have shipped for me from HMV for a bit now... still patiently waiting.

I really hate ordering from HMV UK... horrible packaging and it sucks BIG time when a SB arrives damaged and then have to send it back and wait for a replacement. Being oversees draws out that process out even longer. Much prefer Amazon UK. But I guess I should just be glad for the global market... at least I can get them, lol!


Can't you guys just buy a pristine / mint copy from the store...then do a refund using the ugly one they mailed you? I usually do a online buy to make sure I get a copy but when I receive it damaged I just go a buy one from the store (ofcourse it should still be available and not sold out)...just wondering...
 
Just out of interest how much is the shipping from HMV to you? The extra cost to get a member to help might just outweigh the added wait and hassle for you having to send things back?..

^^^ hey, the shipping is about $5.50 CAD per steelbook to Canada with HMV UK so its actually quite reasonable. They won't combine shipping though. Its $5 per steel no matter how many you order in one order.

^^^ HMV UK... can't just walk to UK from Canada and buy, lol. Hence the online order.
 
Mine didnt turn up either, this is out of order really as I dont have my movie on release day which I believe is because they have started sending thursdays.

Couple of problems with that in the UK, first one is sometimes the price in store is more then on the website (most of the time actually), secondly HMV in store puts security tape around there steelbooks and sometimes when you try and take it off it rips open the steelbook so for collectors who dont open them its a no no lol.
 
Got mine today aswell, cannot complain with the Paramount releases at the moment, they are doing everything right.

Strange thing about this steel is that it looks black from certain angles and when the light isn't shining on it.
 
Yep! Check out my latest video if you want a closer look!

thats good to know!
how long does it usually take from ship date to receiving it?

I also threw an order in for Thor and Capt. America the other day thanks to those HMV gift cards :D
Now the wait for those begins!

Hey, Mehdi!

Good to see you on here buddy. I registered a while ago, but your video made me think it was about time I actually started posting and getting to know the community.

Anyway, this is a great steelbook! Shame about that barcode though.
 
Finally got mine safe and sound. I really like the steelbook. Its actually a pretty unique design from all the other steel books out there. Unlike many which thought the movie was just okay or not that great... I LOVED the movie and thought it was a pretty fresh take on cinema so Im really happy that the steelbook is very nice as well to go along with the movie.
