Where’s the blockbuster light from mate? Love it.

This is where my order currently stands. Not looking good lol.

The glue :-(

 

[nekromantik]

yeah so annoying Warner used glue on a leather case! I will see if I can use leather shoe cleaner to remove the glue stains

The glue :-(

Yeah the glue kinda £**kd mine tbh, even though I was super careful and used a hairdryer. It's a nice edition, but I was on the fence about it anyway, so kinda glad I had an easy out to return

I picked it up off Etsy mate. Worth every penny, looks even better in person.

I hope it turns up for you pal. It's been a **** show of a release.

So I'm guessing until there's a solution (no pun intended), it's better just to leave the j-card on for now?

I think those dark marks would come off in a thin mix of washing up liquid+hot water and a gentle wipe.
Wipe it slowly and gently (as the actress said to the bishop )

2 more videos uploaded. The glue strikes again! At this rate you might as well leave the j-card on.

I'd be careful with the wiping, and the wetting. I did essentially just that, dark marks barely shifted and the "grain" effect leather wore away a little, as did the die colour.

The fact remains “you do not need to use glue!” Loads of steelbooks and collectors editions have j cards that aren’t stuck. Madness. That glue must have been strong as well because the hairdryer thing always works for me.

Just picked mine up and yeah it is a nice set, heavy etc but I’m just not sure either. Is it worth it? Plus I like the Regan slip edition too much.

Also got the glue marks and I don’t like the edges of the purple case, they look really poor and already folding over. They’ll get ruined

Think I will just send it back

Wow that is pretty crap. I’m happy with my ultimate set also.

 

[Matthew Davis]

Received mine today. The glue marks really spoil it and I’m returning it. Really not worth the £70 price tag.

Seeing that videos, I only think that is a so dissappointed edition.
They haven't charged me yet and I'm going to cancel it. Unfortunately, I prefer the UCE. I expected more.

 

[bwatt99]

I wonder when mine will be sent got this feeling I’m not going to get it, I watched for weeks until recently it was available to order again. I had planning to deliver to uk address then decided it was not much more and get it delivered overseas.
So had canceled my uk order that day and re ordered for overseas same day.

Maybe if I had left my uk order maybe it be sent by now.
But no money taken and no dispatch yet, wondering if anyone else ordered this to send overseas?
My concern was how crap it be packed but if I do get dispatch of it then it’s good to know it’s like double boxed sort of,
But does not mean much when sending it overseas but certainly help a lot.
I be keeping it if I get it so just playing the waiting game, I just better not get someone’s rejected return

My thoughts exactly. Already raised a return.

Someone I know preordered from Amazon and their money has not yet been taken. They contacted Amazon and the reply was more would be shipped out on the 30th of October

I'm not brave enough to take the J card off mine yet
