Just bought this from Amazon.com, only £15 inc p&p delivered to the Uk. Not over keen on the film, but the steelbook is a beauty.

Definitely don`t have to pay import fee or VAT on goods with a value under £15 (I paid £13.22 )when buying goods from non EU country. Even If an item does exceed the value of £15 when using Amazon.com, you pay the import charges to Amazon & you don't get stung with crazy import/vat charges.

Above £15, you need to pay 20% of grand total plus £8 for Royal Mail handling fee.

I think you be okay with upto £18, sometimes £20 you be okay as well from amazon.

I thought they were quite strict on anything over £15 now, I don't risk anything higher anymore. Anyway it's a nice looking steel but the matte finish let's it down IMO. If I had never seen the FS version this would probably look better but that one looks so much more vibrant than this one.

 

[Blu-devil]

Is it a roughy matte like the Fox titles or a smooth finish like the UK Paramounts?

 

[ash333]

I would say it is more like the UK Fox matte finish (like Alien Anthology) with some slight texturing to it.

Amazon hasn't shipped it to me, what gives?! And I pre-ordered it the second they posted it!!!!

 

[madnaxal78]

Is there any difference between the Canadian version and this ?

 

[frankfish44]

Both re releases are the same. Original Canadian release has a gloss finish. Re release is a matte finish

So do I...I ordered it with Face/Off on 11 May. You know what? Face Off has been shipped now, Watchmen can still not be delivered. Dunno what's goin' on there. Could it be that it's OOP??????? I want it.

Thanks, I'm after the US one, cheaper and I've got the option to pay UK VAT upfront. If anyone needs the link to the CA release on Amazon CA http://www.amazon.ca/Watchmen-SteelBook-Blu-ray/dp/B00C33852W/ref=sr_1_23?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1369567136&sr=1-23&keywords=steelbook+blu+ray

Hope not

I really feel for the ones who has the FS release... Must be really annoying. A ggod thing for guys like me though who never got the FS release. Now i dont have to spent 100-150usd to get it.
Wondering what the hold up is though... Should have been shipped long ago...

Not annoying in the slightest, I still own by far the best Steelbook available for this film. No amount of re-releases can take that away. You can't improve on perfection.
