Cancelled in time! Awful

Is this the only way to get the 4K disc in the UK? I don't see a standard release anywhere other than the US Criterion version.

yes the uk 4K steelbook is the only way to get it in the UK outside of US criterion as you say

Guess I'm waiting for a big price drop on one of those, or a standard release in the future, since there's no way I'm paying £30 for this steel. My frankensteel made up of previous releases looks better, and it doesn't look great either

In the running for worst steel of the year imo.

It's so poor, I'm not even going to bother taking photos.

I forgot to cancel my Zavvi order, and it arrived today. I have to agree that this turned out pretty bad. But Zavvi’s packaging was excellent. The steelbook was in a cardboard mailer shipped inside a box with air pillows. Not even FedEx could damage it.

That's rarer than winning the lottery! Just a shame it was for such a poor item.... your next order for that super expensive collectors edition will arrive in nothing but a sheet of newspaper

Wait, why'd you get a box? Got my copy of Oppenheimer from Zavvi and it was just in one of those custom cardboard slips, it's actually fairly robust and works well for knocks but doesn't do much to protect against crushing. You'd think they'd use the box on a larger set rather than just an individual steelbook.

Honestly, I’ve always received steelbooks from Zavvi in one of the white mailers. This was a first. I have the North by Northwest collector’s set on the way, so we’ll see if the packaging is as good.
