Same here (dispatched on Tuesday). Funny thing is... I ordered a steelbook from Zavvi through Play.com which was dispatched the following day (Wednesday) and it arrived today. Items seem to arrive quicker when buying from their eBay store too... so ordering from their main site is actually slower for some reason.

I was sure i'd cancelled this, not cos I didn't want it but cos I had so many pre orders coming out the same week.. but I got the "dispatched" notice from zavvi the other day and i'm happy cos I sold my amaray when the steelbook was announced. I hope it arrives tomorrow but it'll probably arrive Monday.
looking forward to seeing if the design for the embossed door looks good or just plain awful either way, I love this movie:movie:

I say the bad weather is the reason for the delay in delivery as this was shipped on Tue/Wed to most people so must be the reason as to why most not got delivery yet

I expect we will see lot of photos tomorrow from people in the UK

I cancelled this as I want to see it before I decide and also wait for a price drop

looks like the door frame is embossed as well? tbh this looks quite nice!

Arrived 10 minutes ago with a dent in the front and no packaging damage so I have contacted them for a replacement.

Door, wording and edging is all embossed and very nice

Yes. This information (about the door) was in Zavvis item description from day 1.

I'm loving the front on this... shame about the blurry interior and back art though.

Have you seen actual pics of the back and inside? Or have you got it in hand?

My brother has got his copy and the back artwork is quite blurred, not as clear as you'd want it to be.

Got it in hand. I noticed it was blurry straight away, but when you compare it to the back of Clockwork Orange it's even more obvious.

I'll be holding off with this one, me thinks this will drop to £9.99.

I really like the front cover on this, better in hand imo

 

[xxquartzxx]

Looks better in hand tbh ... i was going to cancel but forgot about it ha ha .. glad i didn't now

I take it, this is still just the European cut??
