It's also still only £30 on amazon.... lol

Yeah but if I'm going to order it I'm going to order it from Zavvi.

I hate all Amazon steelbook shipments and only use them if I have to.

Also, Amazon says it's out of stock but you can place an order and they'll notify when ready to ship.

One last thing, shipping to Canada with Amazon is £11.89 compared to only £3.99 from Zavvi.

That's $18.76 Canadian compared to $6.29 Canadian.

Amazon regularly does that on release day, when switching from preorder to in stock, I wouldn't pay any attention to it.

I didn't realise you were shipping to canada. I completely see the zavvi benefit there, much cheaper shipping!

Yep. And it doesn't matter how many items you put in your order, the shipping stays the same total of £3.99 unlike any Amazon site where the shipping cost goes up with each item.

That welsh guy has been making videos for ages (I love listening to his voice) but how can he still not know what debossing is? He called the bullet holes engraved. MATE THEY'RE DEBOSSED!

Nice edition though

 

[BatOutOfHell]

European edition looks good, debossed bullet holes are obviously nice, but the matte finish is also not too bad, quite high quality, kinda reminds me of the black finish on the Sicario 4k BB steel.

Still waiting for the glossy US release. That one appears to have the USD logo on the spine, which I like to have so the spine fits with the other Paramount UHD steelbooks.

Spoiler

Does anyone know if the standalone steelbook (without the slip and posters) is also debossed?

UK/EU releases has same steelbook if you order steelbook only or collector's edition

Thanks @paulboland.
do you think that means that the odds are high that the planned FA/Black Barons fullslip XL edition will likely have this version of the steelbook inside?

50% chance

 

[C.C. 95]

50% chance

Lol. Yeah I guess they probably wouldn't be importing Best Buy steelbooks.

 

[Lenny Nero]

Yeah, I'm waiting for that too, but for FAC's sake they're taking their time.

 

[C.C. 95]

in lieu of not knowing about FA's plans.....I decided the least offensive slipcover version was the German one.

You're right. Hopefully that's a removable sticker as suggested though. UK has bbfc logos hard printed and I believe both FR and IT slips have the title fully in their native languages.

Yes, the FSK rating is a sticker.

 

[Stygian]

Yes, the FSK rating is a sticker.

I think he means the yellow "Unlimited Collector's Edition..." square. Is that a sticker?

I know that the uk and french have a removable yellow sticker. It stands to reason that the German would be same.
the reason for getting the German is to avoid the ratings printed on the box. The French had the French title. While the German has the German title below the English title - I think it is more acceptable.
the FSK is removeable.
i'll know for sure in about a week and a half!

That one is also a sticker (on the foil). Apart from the printed 4K banner at the top, it's a clean glossy front.

Thanks for the confirmation! @SteelCollz

 

[C.C. 95]

@SteelCollz was right. Not only were the stickers removable- they were on the outside shrink wrap.
this is after I removed them with a scotty peeler.
