Confirmed to have a new transfer!!

Posties been and gone, hopes dashed

Scratch that he just came back with 2 of the 3 amazingly undamaged given the look of the jiffy packet

 

[Noodles]

Mine just dropped through the postbox in a jiffy... thankfully there's no damage to the steelbook itself, but the j-card has a tear through it and has crease lines all across the back, which makes no sense, because the cellophane wasn't torn or anything.

Oh well, I'm happy the steelbook is at least in mint condition!

 

[DK06CTR]

Got mine today and it wasn't even in a jiffy bag was just wrapped in grey plastic bag no protection whatsoever. There wasn't even any bubbles lining the bag or anything how I've got it mint is nothing short of a miracle.

Still haven't received rampart either, apparently it's with the home delivery network. Did anybody else's rampart come with them? As they have had it 11 days now...?

Would imagine that happened in the printing process, I'm sure we've all had the magazine with the beautifully folded corner, etc.

That sounds like the type of bag all of my recent Batman Jumbos came in.

Well I've just watched the director approved UK version and then switched straught to my Dutch Steelbook version and the Dutch transfer is definitely better. So I don't quite no what the director was looking at.

Anybody check the quality of the new transfer?

 

[zesty]

what abut the discs?

Thought people would prefer to see the art

I have it's not terrible but don't think it's great either there is a lot of specs and blips on the uk version. And non on the Dutch version. Dutch and French is definitely the better transfer. Oh and I don't mind grain but there is way to much on the uk version.

The Dutch has plenty of grain but not excessively like the uk version.

All in my opinion of course.

Would imagine that happened in the printing process, I'm sure we've all had the magazine with the beautifully folded corner, etc.

That's the only explanation, although it's more than a folded corner... it's all bent and ripped. It's no big deal really, but I'm probably one of a few people who actually like to keep the j-cards.

Dutch and French is definitely the better transfer. Oh and I don't mind grain but there is way to much on the uk version.

I actually picked up the French version (Real Heroes edition) just a few weeks ago, so I'll also be comparing them at some point. Not to see if you're making it up though may I point out... I just want to see the difference for myself.

Nothing from HMV for me again, this is an absolute joke!

Exactly how mine turned up!! Couldn't believe it was wrapped in a plastic bag! Amazed it is in one piece....working for Royal Mail, I know how these are handled.....

 

[surfury]

Mine just arrived in a Jiffy bag (as did my son's); we must be lucky.

 

[hayemaker]

LOL at grey plastic bags. I didn't think you could get worse packaging for a steelbook than a jiffy bag but HMV have proved me wrong. Although I shouldn't laugh because mine hasn't turned up yet...

I just don't get this at all, i will only be using HMV other than for Exclusives from now on and by the sound of things with most saying they are receiving them in Jiffy's and my track record with Steels in them i might be saying when it eventually turns up "Get ready for a surprise"

 

[SimonLDT]

Got mine today. Turned up in a jiffy (another blu I ordered from HMV was in a bag, luckily not a steelbook).

At first glance mint but then noticed some minor paint loss and a small scratch across the bottom on the rear, thankfully they're not that noticable really and are tiny. Not something I'd send it back for anyhow.

Screenshots from BR site. I think UK is better. New transfer is more colorful and grainy picture makes nice detail
