On my way to BB!

Not really happy about this one, tbh. And I don't want to hear from the apologists "hey we cant complain, at least were getting something over here in the States"...stop it.

Pros:
- Decent artwork, I like the inside
- Includes an iTunes digital copy instead of the usual crap Ultraviolet-only option

Cons:
- Cheap matte finish
- No embossing of any kind
- Easily chips away, see my photos below
- Movie itself is.....meh.

I pulled up at 9:58 and the doors were already open that always scares me like crap crap crap (had some bad luck with low production runs lately, Guardians of the Galaxy, Lucy, Godzilla) but luckily there were dozens on the shelf and even someone scoping them out. Must have been a collector she picked up and examined 4-5 copies. I know the only collector in my area normally I see him at Target on release days good to see another collector.

Got my copy! It's not like wow but for the price it's not too bad besides it complements the other previews releases!

This was never in any danger of selling out, I stayed up for John Wick Nova, I'll be @ BB tomorrow to easily cherry pick a couple of copies.

I got to BB at 5 PM and they plenty on the shelves, just took one and it was in good condition.

just love when she sings by the river, the texture of her voice very unique I wonder if it is really her singing, if so she could record an awesome album with her unique tone...

btw you guys filmarena is making an exclusive release numbered edition out of this one, please check it out if it is anything like the first 4 film arena collection it will be very nice with all the extras numbering and a slip (no info on what it will contain yet but should be similar as the first four exclusive)

Pretty pumped to get this. Didn't realize it was a Friday release. Was on deployment when it was in theatres so it'll be quite a treat to see it for the first time on my new projector in my new house

Plenty of copies. Most common flaw I noticed where mis aligned spines. Other than that seemingly clean looking print run. Blind buy for me.

I'm going to pick up my copy tomorrow morning. Worked today, but I knew there would be enough copies to go around. Thanks for the in-store shipper pic @NoDingsNoScratches!

I was able to get two copies that were pretty damn mint tonight. One had a tiny paint chip on the bottom which I can barely notice unless I use a microscope. The other looks minty mint. Tons of them to choose from. This one will be awhile. Great film too. Just finished it up an hour ago. Cant wait for the next installment.

I really hate the mis aligned spines, even more since one of my Kimchi Iron Man steelbooks had this problem but if someone does end up with one I would return it if possible. If you can't do that then follow a guide how to fix them, HDN has some, may be time consuming. Some blind buys are usually safe, I'm happy with this movie series so far, looking forward to seeing how it all ends.

Mines was perfect. But I remember someone saying that if we pre-ordered it then we get alot of points. Is that true?

 

[bloodsnake007]

Got mine last night! The wife bought me this and the Walmart Exclusives!

Now bring on Part 2!
