Received mine today. Looks to be mint condition through the wrap. It doesn't look as bad as that original pic made it seem. The speckled grainy background is a nice touch, although I still maintain that if this was off white like the mock up clearly shows and even better yet glossy finish, this could have been a true gem. A missed opp, but still nowhere near the crappy quality of The Rock, Armageddon, and Die Hard with a Vengeance. Oh! and the red spine is dynamite!
 
Got my dispatch email today, even though the film actually arrived on monday... :dunno:
I never got an email saying it had dispatched, it just updated on the site and then turned up, so a little slow Zavvi ;)
 
Afterr seeing more pictures it does look better than that first in-hand pic we saw, but still not as good as the cover mock-up. Still not sure if I should blind-buy it.
 
Guys, i just checked my mail today, i got 3 boxes form zavvi. I reach to pull out the first box i notice the box is light and the end is open, No steelbook someone stole it. :angry:

The other 2 boxes are normal.

So i walk home and open them and find evil dead, and evil dead 2. The one that was stolen is TPBTP. :angry:

If your gonna steal one steelbook why not take the other 2 also. These boxes leave little doubt as to whats in them.

Who would i complain to about this, zavvi, my post office.

I worried about this, i mean post office guys with sticky fingers.

I once complained about a netflix disc i never received and the guy at the post office called my house to complain to me that he didn't steal it. I wonder how this will go. What are your guys thoughts?


Edit: I sent Zavvi an e-mail, i want no problems with the USPS.

I was having this problem with my TAXI DRIVER STEELBOOK, the box come in mint condition but once you hold it, you know there is nothing in it. I immediately write to ZAVVI, and after a few correspondences. They sent me a replacement. I keep thinking what was in the mind of that packer when he pack the stuff. I still keep that MINT box.
 
saw this movie tonight, it was just ok for me, i was considering buying the steelbook if i enjoyed it despite it being region locked but it didnt do it for me to justify the cost for the steelbook alone
 
Who would i complain to about this, zavvi, my post office.

No matter who took it, this one's on Zavvi. If you've paid for an item on credit card then it's their legal responsibility to ensure you get it.

The correct procedure would be for them to supply a replacement and then claim for the loss with whichever Post Office is contracted to handle the package from point of collection.

Hope you have better luck with your next copy!
