Why? He was barely featured in this movie

It's not so much how long someone or something appears in a particular movie, but the impact the individual makes.
Take A Few Good Men for example. It was a Tom Cruise vehicle, but watch that courtroom scene with Jack Nicolson and you clearly see who was the star of that movie.

Link is live. Updated OP.
And NO, it's NOT FINAL PRICE!!!

@zerox39
I thought the release date would be later than the worldwide release?

 

[Blu-devil]

By far my favourite of all the Hobbit/LOTR movies so far. I cannot wait to watch the Extended edition. My 4 disc slimline case is ready and waiting for the arrival of this badboy. If anyone can pm me a scan of the Theatrical cut SteelBook spine (non Jumbo) I really would appreciate it.

It will be. Our site has had some technical errors lately and is stopping us from fixing dates. I'll get them working on this one though

Is Canada still getting a non-jumbo version of this somewhere? Anybody know?

It was said that "maybe" Target Canada would get it.
Just check on Target.ca website.

Oh wait, too lousy to have a proper website... 2014 anyone?

1) so Nov 4th on the site is the correct updated date ?

what the shipment issue addressed, ordered another 4 steels and they were just again stached up in a box with no protection but a piece of brown paper on top of the steels... but no bubble wrap bottom box to absorb shoks instead of the steelbooks

The true street date of the SteelBook is November 18th.

Whenever you have these shipping problems please send me pictures. I've been working with the web team to try to fix the problem, but it's proving harder then thought

@zerox39 you were too fast to answer lol, here is the rest of my message

2) was the shipment/packaging issue addressed? I ordered another 4 steels and they were just again stacked up in a box put at bottom of box with no protection but a piece of brown paper on top of the steels... but no bubble wrap bottom box to absorb shoks instead of the steelbooks

3) Also, was the blade issue when opening boxes received by the distribution company to the warehouse addressed so they are careful when opening boxes with blades so not to slah the steels ?

I addressed the first 2 questions above

Your 3rd question. Scanavo is working on a more protective method for SteelBooks to solve the issue

Well when he first showed up, he made quite an impression indeed. But once he acted like a cliché villain (chasing the hero, but doing nothing once he has him cornered) that impression faded quite quickly...

Why??? Ohhhhh why???? :-(

It turns out that Peter Jackson has only approved matte finish for us. Mind you it makes sense with all the previous releases

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo....Damn you Peter Jackson

Oh well, I'm sure this will still look awesome. Just a shame it's not glossy is all
