No disrespect, but I've never heard of anybody--let alone a collector--hoping that a release would be botched. An unintended manufacturing defect I can understand. But botched (dictionary definition: lazy or careless) manufacturing...that's new to me.

exactly. manufacturing defects, for me personally, don't really fill me with a sense of excitement at the prospect of receiving a mint copy, instead, it disheartens me to think that myself and other collectors are paying good money for steelbooks that may not (no pun intended) be up to scratch.
i buy steelbooks because i want to own them, not for the potential of receiving a mint copy out of hundreds, if not thousands, of defect riddled releases.

Its listed as Item Under Review
Not Sold Out

It will come back available from AmazonUK when whatever customer complaint is dealt with

I have this item coming through my door in the next couple of days I hope it doesn't show up with any damage

 

[Man on 1Wire x 6 3]

Probably the flimsiest of all the steelbooks I own and wonder how long it will keep mint (with 2 curious kids)

Shouldn't be letting kids anywhere near this film imo.

Received the steelbook in perfect condition and love it, would have liked it to be a bit less mustard though.

Is there any difference between this and the german steelbook, like kick ass 2 had the debossing in german?

 

[Ashcroft]

I have the German edition, and apart from the J-card it's identical to the UK version right down to the disc.

And to think there was sheer panic when this disappeared from amazon prior to release.

Haha, I'm still bitter about how much time I wasted getting stirred up about this release. It's a terrific Steelbook, but the print run must be huge and I think that makes it less appealing to some. Not exactly a true collectors item, eh?

EBay is littered with them at cheap prices. Not the Grail many thought it would be lol.

Clearly the print run is much larger than it was for Kick-Ass 2 and The World's End. I don't regret paying the full price for this though. It is still one of the best Steelbooks released so far this year.

Oscar nominated film, not surprised it had a huge print run.

 

[Aw 83]

Great film and nice steelbook with great design and quality very pleased to have this in my growing collection...

Clutching at straws there fella methinks.

I'm not that bothered at all about this given it being a very disappointing film. Might pounce if it hits £7.99 or less but no thanks til then.

 

[hayemaker]

Regretting paying the full price is much better than regretting not getting it and paying three times the price on the secondary market, like the World's End.

There was no way of knowing the print run would be huge on this one.

I really wanted to see this myself and the Steelbook design had a lot of potential which is why I decided to purchase it on release. I think that decision was justified from a personal viewpoint as I enjoyed the film and the Steelbook turned out to be awesome. I don't really see how that is clutching at straws.
