While I do like this artwork (which kinda feels like a retro 80's game), I prefer HMV's one and will be going with that one. Will be watching this tomorrow.

It says that Amazon UK cannot ship to Canada, that's a first :-(
It's been like this a while now since mid 2020 with all Amazon webstites since covid-19 started to affect countries around the world.

Amazon USA for example for months you can't do a pre order if delivery address is in UK or EU

Amazon Canada stopped doing pre orders also for customers based in UK/ EU a good few months also.

Amazon EU lot of pre orders can't be done unless you are based in that Amazon country
Example Amazon Germany will only take pre order if your delivery address is based in Germany.

If you are based outside amazon country website that you want to do a order with
After release date when item is instock that is when most times you can do a order but some items after release date you may see not available.
It's the same for Amazon UK you will need to wait until after release date to do an order if you are based outside UK


It's to do with lack of international flights due to covid-19.
A lot parcels are on flights that passengers use

Amazon also give priority to essential goods over non essential
A DVD/ Blu-ray/UHD disc is not essential goods


Only a few couriers example UPS have their own fleet of aircraft.

Most air mail goes on passenger flights but due to covid-19 there is lot less flights available and not often known in advance when a flight will be available.
Amazon Canada will take pre orders if you delivery address is based in Canada for example.

Some post has been using sea transport instead.

UK leaving customs union also now effects Amazon UK and other Amazon EU websites and thats on top of covid-19 affecting delivery

Amazon won't know for sure which Amazon warehouse be it in UK or EU will have the stock mostly until just before or after release date
That is why you will also have to wait until after release date.
You might see some pre order items as availavle to order a week before release date if you are based outside UK

I'm based in Rep of Ireland

Rep of Ireland members using Amazon UK
Most my orders from Amazon UK since January 1st 2021 will now be shipped from a Amazon warehouse based in France or Germany instead of a UK warehouse with very few from a Amazon UK warehouse
Some stock of UK/Ireland releases from distributors now needs to be sent to Amazon EU warehouse instead of a UK warehouse

When Amazon UK dispatch from UK or EU warehouse it now goes to Amazon Ireland logistic distribution center based in Rathcoole
Amazon Ireland logistic distribution center based in Rathcoole was setup in October 2020

Items are then delivered by An Post or by a Amazon Ireland logistic van driver
Since January 1st 2021 Tracking will list courier now as Amazon Logistics

You parcel will be delivered by An post or a Amazon logistic Van driver or by DPD
You get a email when out for delivery or if you use amazon app a message when out for delivery

I had 2 dents - from Amazon.It.
Applied gift wrap up, but i can now confirm that their gift packaging is fu*ing joke. Someone said that they do it with bubbles etc... but they put it in a bag with a loop.
Never again gift wrap and i'll prob just go after ebay i guess. Now i preordered Godzilla via Amazon.es and will see how that will work.

Amazon is a joke. Gave up buying steelbooks from them. A thin layer of card is not protection for a steelbook.

The issue has been raised numerous times by numerous people over the years (including myself) and they don't seem to give a sh*t...... They rather refund you and leave you with a shi**ty dented steelbook or ship out a replacement which turns up the same or worse!

So they don't get my cash any more. Simples! Not worth the hassle or the dented steelbooks!

Has this got a streaky matte finish?
Steelbook is a Zero finish

Attracts fingerprints that how you can tell when it's a zero finish

A matte finish don't attract fingerprints

Zero finish is a low-gloss finish that maintains high color intensity and brightness.

Colours are bright looks better in hand than photos

Yeah I quite like Zero finish, not so keen on the streaky matte finish though.

Scanavo employee of the month right there.
Oh come on! High color intensity and brightness :rolleyes: It's what other companies would call matte. What Scanavo call matte shouldn't even be produced.
