Excuse this brief rant but wtf is up with these toe-rags that they continue to give us titleless spines - way to go to diss the collector!
No title on the front is OK (imo) but unforgivable to leave it off the spine!
Understand all this WWA business regarding titles (different languages etc.) and we've been through it already with T 2, and others, but at least give us SOMETHING on the spine even if it's just A PICTURE or two - in this case maybe a dupe of the front image - just something, anything but don't leave it blank!
Picture spines look just fine and certainly better than nothing (imo).
It's not as if they can use the excuse that it interferes with the wraparound artwork which was the excuse used by the designers of DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS.
The few non-live images of this SB that I've seen do have the title on the front as well as on the spine with examples being:-
France SEUL SUR MARS
Germany DER MARSIANER
Rant over . . . and out.

Does anyone know what the stock levels are like for this steel in stores? I completely forgot to pick a copy up today and wont be able to pick a copy up till Thursday most likely. Recently in my local store atleast, copies of Legend and Maze Runner have been low from day of release.

I am thinking of the style of gravity lenticular BluFan

My local HMV didn't have many out on the shelf, they only had them at the entrance and not in the blu ray section. There was about 5 or so when I looked yesterday, not sure if they had more in the stock room though

 

[Blu-devil]

My local store only received 3 copies. Once they grab Xtra-Vision's stock they'll probably replenish.

 

[kevindublin]

Is there anyone, ( in particular based in Ireland) still waiting for this to be despatched by HMV ?
Ordered it ages ago, and starting to worry a little now

I didn't personally. But I'm signed up to receive emails from HMV.ie and they sent me one during the week explaining the shutting down of all Xtra-vision stores in the Republic and that they're sorry that there will be a delay in processing online orders.

This is what it said........

You may have heard that Xtra-vision was recently placed into liquidation and ceased trading. In light of this we want to reassure our members that hmv is still trading in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and you are still able to earn purehmv points in hmvstores & online.

If you have recently placed an order with purehmv.com, we will dispatch this as soon as possible but it may take longer than expected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

If you have any questions, you may be able to find the answers here in our FAQs.

Thank you for your understanding and we hope you continue to support hmv.

The team at purehmv

Hope this helps...

At the risk of boring everyone with an unoriginal post; I LOVE the SteelBook, HATE the spine. Thought the movie was outstanding.

cool, thanks for that. I wont panic just yet then

 

[BluSteel2012]

Might be no harm to shoot them an email anyway to remind them?! Seeing as the release date has passed.

HMV Leicester has 4 copies left as of half an hour ago, I asked if they had many to begin with and the guy working there said only around a dozen a lot less than they usually get. Not sure of the print run but if you want one get one now, it could turn out like Jurassic World where copies were hard to find after the first week or so.

[noeldoran]

Hmv.ie just cancelled mine, dont know why as they as still selling it online...

''We apologise and regret to inform you that this order has been cancelled. As we only charge for items when they are dispatched no refund is necessary.

The item(s) you have ordered are either temporarily out of stock or have been found to be unsuitable for sale. Please keep and eye on the website as they may come back into stock shortly.

Cancellations are very rare and we’re very sorry to have let you down on this occasion. We investigate all cancellations, and will do all we can to put things right.
We really appreciate your understanding. ''

 

[kevindublin]

That's bad. Mine will probobly be cancelled as well, I emailed them in the week to ask why its not been despatched, have had no response yet.
There was 0 copies of this in the Liffey Valley store earlier in the week as well.

What makes me laugh, is this line on their site:

"Order Online with Confidence. Ireland's BIGGEST home entertainment store."

 

[Punky Partridge]

I have a copy on order from xtra-vision.ie, I emailed them on Monday to confirm that I would still be receiving my order and I got this response.
"Due to circumstances beyond our control unfortunately this item will not be in with us until around the 17/02 from the supplier.
Our sincere apologies about this delay and can you let us know if you wish to proceed with this order at your earliest convenience."

So you could try ordering a copy from them, If Hmv.ie is no good.

 

[Strangerbyday]

I requested a cancellation for mine from HMV.ie on Sunday, they cancelled the order on Monday, I ordered from HMV UK & it was with me by Thursday. Don't think I'll be ordering from HMV Ireland again, awful, unreliable service.

 

[noeldoran]

yea they taking the piss alright.....ordered from HMV UK earlier and used my new Anpost addresspal (rival to parcel motel) for €1 to deliver to Ireland, not too bad

 

[Lollard2002]

I've still waiting for my Xtra vision copy but I don't expect to get one.
