Taken 2 (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]

[lgans316]

Word of caution from an UK HDN Member about HMV (thanks VRob98)

People should just be aware of 2 things:

1) If you receive a damaged or faulty copy from now on, you will not receive a replacement or refund

2) If they charge your card and are then unable to fulfil your order, you will not be refunded.

The way a company operates whilst under administration is quite different to how it operates normally, and certain consumer rights are suspended. If anything goes wrong you would have to apply to the administrator or claim against your credit card issuer.

I'd encourage everyone who has orders in with HMV to consider the above, as I'd hate to see anyone here lose their money in all of this.

Release Date: February 4th, 2013

I wish they hadn't bothered with a second Taken film as although I love the first one plus the Steel, the follow up I thought was awful and a total disappointment!!
I have made it my rule this coming New Year to only buy Steelbooks of films I like, and are of the limited Asian or Taiwan slipcover versions if possible!

Those are the ones I love the most anyway, plus those slips are stunning!!

I will pick up my copy in store on release day to have mint copy

Well, I cracked and decided to get it.

Just wish now I'd picked up the first one when I had the chance. I would have if I hadn't watched it on TV around the time the steelbook came out. It was okay, but I certainly wouldn't spend more than £20 on it now even for the sake of completion.

Really like the look of this one, the colours go together nicely

 

[earthscope]

Looks great but I am sticking with my Taiwan version.

Me too

 

[Konflick]

I will get this and keep my taiwan version sealed

 

[cooey]

Looks good

Blind buy for me, Steel looks great and nice to see inside art, pre ordered.

Is he even on a train at any part of this movie? I don't recall, unless its not a train on the picture

 

[Twizted328i]

Good point lol I dont remember that either

This is the 'extended harder cut' version of the film, so maybe the scene used for the interior art is what's missing from the theatrical cut...?

I guess the same because I am pretty sure he wasn't on a train when I watched the movie.

No matter how sick HMV feels right now, I will keep my order and fingers crossed this version will come to papa as soon as possible.

just hope they don't keep the money and not post it

Thanks for this note - I've added it to the OP in case other UK members may be wondering the same thing.

It says the site is 'suspended'. Hopefully it will be back on line soon if things get sorted
