Things are sounding promising on the GB, if you are looking for 1 in the USA, I can try and hook you up with someone that can mail to you direct.

anybody here that would be kind enough to grab me one? i drove an hour to go get one only to get there and some damn scalper had bought them all already. my two local stores were wiped by scalpers.

toxsic - read apsmith21's post above.

Cincinnati area is wiped out except for 1 store showing availability.

I pre-ordered at 6 different stores, just to be safe. And I even got responses telling me to pick them up at 2 of them and then they each called and said they had to cancel my order! I went to a Best Buy in Glendale, CA 5 minutes early and they already had customers walking out of the store with purchases! The clerk said they got 3 in store, which would have been fine if they would have opened when they were supposed to. I've checked for stores all across the country near people I know and they are all sold out. Now I see tons of people putting up multiple copies for sale on eBay; some for ludicrous prices. This is enough to take me out of this game. Seriously.

my store is wiped clean. They had 4 at opening. I grabbed 3. did not want to punch the old man in the face to take his.

There's a chance Andy might have an extra one, send him a PM. I am still going to go to another BBY soon, I'll keep an eye out for an extra copy just in case.

This has been a swift sell out

Horhay is correct, I've sent messages out to other folks that will be willing to ship direct to USA members - we're chatting about possible solutions right now.

Respond to the GB thread linked in the OP and we'll get you on the list.

...did not want to punch the old man in the face to take his.

That would have been totally uncalled for and unnecessary

....when a good kick to the knee would have been sufficient to take him out.

 

[STEELBOOKJUNKIE]

Shame they couldn't have sorted the messy back out but the debossed title and spine make this so much better than Zavvi steel!

 

[dfoles]

I've got 2 to pick up tonight after work, so if anyone is looking for one, hit me up. I'd prefer local, US.

But we can work out international if someone wants it that bad.

 

[gbskidmarks05]

I haven't seen this movie yet but I'm a little confused.. Why is Thor $22.99 for a 3D steel but Gravity is $27.99?? is this movie really not that good? Just asking

And as I stated earlier, all 10 BBs near me now show 'Unavailable'.

 

[charleybusko]

According to BB website for instore purchase, sold out in AR and TN. Also sold out in Houston, TX and surrounding areas. Wow!!!

 

[henry00x]

not sure if its been stated here but THS on the other forum, states Best Buy had approx. 7,700 of these for sale company wide, and they are currently down to 1,600 of these

Actually it shows UNAVAILABLE which makes me think it's BB related, but I could be wrong. I think more people went after this steel unlike Captain Phillips.

 

[will519]

Manhattan NYC stores had a bit over 200 in stock. Practically all gone now. In-store order saved me.

7,700 is quite a low number. I'd have expected BB to get more. Probably Disney marketing involved with creating scarcity leading to huge demands.

Wreck warned us the run for this in the US was going to be limited but obviously more than 4k, he couldnt disclose how many though, i guess we got that number now
